Answer I can't be too sure on how legal it is as you are Canadian and you married out of the country. I'd contact Immigration Canada to find out how legal your marrige is. * You can be married outside of Canada and be legally recognized as married in Canada. You simply need to show the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is less important than it used to be for legal reasons, however. What is more important is the duration that a couple cohabitates (lives together).
