Filipina “mail-order” widow scrutinized by Immigration Canada

This is an ongoing worldwide issue. Women from empoverished countries, often used as tools for economic development by their families back home, get pressured into marrying rich undesirable men in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Australia. Both sides know it’s a loveless marriage (just like arranged marriages throughout most of human history). This time, the husband died. His wife had found out he was an alcoholic. She was the beneficiary of his life insurance. His family immediately claimed she had committed fraud because she married him for his money. Now Immigration Canada is investigating *her*. This whole thing is wrong on so many levels.
