For sponsorship, any marriage needs to be genuine and not entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Marriages done remotely or by proxy are almost universally not accepted in this regard. They want to see evidence of a real relationship where the couple has spent time together in person and knows important details about each other.

1. Not acceptable for Immigration purposes

Does IRCC recognize marriages conducted by proxy, telephone, internet and fax?

No. We don’t recognize these types of marriages. If one or both parties are not physically present at the ceremony, we won’t recognize the marriage.
You may be exempt from this rule if:
  • Your application was received before June 10, 2015, or
  • You are a member of the Canadian Armed Forces.The marriage may be recognized if:
    • You could not be physically present at your marriage ceremony, because of travel restrictions related to your service,
    • the marriage took place outside of Canada, and
    • It was registered in a country where marriage by proxy is legal.
