AJ Aquino and Edward *****, Advocates Who Reunite International Couples, Get Married

“She’s really funny, and I found her super attractive,” he said. Instead of sitting down to dinner, something Dr. ***** wanted to avoid because he is a messy eater — “I have a friend who describes me as the ugliest eater he’s ever seen,” he said — they strolled the market. They told each other dad jokes and talked about their pasts. When Ms. Aquino’s ride back to her hotel arrived, they kissed good night.

Dr. ***** grew up in the western ********* province of Saskatchewan. His mother, Dr. Teik Im Ooi, is Malaysian; his father, Dr. Edward Toyin *****, was born in China. Both are family physicians. His parents had met in medical school and moved to Canada in 1984. When Dr. ***** left Saskatchewan for the University of Alberta, where he got a bachelor’s degree in medical science, they divorced. But they had long been ******* in wanting their son to study medicine. In his 20s, Dr. ***** was briefly a standup comedian. Back then, before “heightened cultural sensitivity,” he said, he used to tell a joke about the medical exam being the ****** bar mitzvah.

In 2021, two years after completing his family medicine residency at Toronto Western Hospital, he earned a master’s degree in public health at Columbia. Last year, he finished a public health and preventive medicine residency at the University of Toronto and became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada. He is now working toward a master of studies in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy at Oxford and expects to graduate next year.

He also has two jobs. By day, Dr. ***** is a medical health officer for Northern Medical Services in Saskatchewan, where his hours are mostly virtual because commuting requires a flight plus an hourslong drive. At night, he is a general practitioner psychotherapist at Toronto’s Comprehensive Treatment Clinic, specializing in addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety.

In the early 2000s, Ms. Aquino’s mother had immigrated to Ireland from the Philippines as a nurse. She successfully petitioned to have her daughter, then 5, and husband join her. Ms. Aquino’s father ***** of ******* less than a year later. “She was a widow at 28 and provided as much as she could with the cards she was dealt,” Ms. Aquino said.

Ms. Aquino graduated from University College Dublin with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She later earned a master’s degree in marketing from King’s College London. In Toronto, where she now lives with Dr. *****, she works as a disability case manager at Manulife, an insurance company.
