Federal immigration officials are fighting a court battle to keep an Alberta man from bringing his Filipino wife to the country because they suspect their marriage is a fraud.
But Carwin Miltimore insists the young woman he met online four years ago married him out of love, not a desire to come to Canada.
A visa officer rejected the 60-year-old truck driver’s sponsorship application of his 22-year-old spouse because they felt their age difference made it improbable the relationship was genuine. But last fall an immigration appeal tribunal ruled in the Ryley man’s favour.

“I’m 100 per cent sure that I’m not being duped. I’m not an idiot,” Miltimore said.
“When you talk to someone online every day for hours, you can see in their eyes and by the way they speak that they love you.”
In addition to $10,000 for legal bills, Miltimore has spent generously from his earnings to help Marife and her family with health care needs, a grandmother’s funeral and a new roof for her father’s home.
