Hey guys,

If you get married in another country, but then go back to Canada and start your immigration process (outland), does your marriage still need to be registered in Canada? Or is it enough to have the marriage certificate issued by this other country (in our case it's USA) and that's all you need?
Would be great if somebody could help. Thanks!

as long as canada recognizes the marriage (which it does for many countries, including US), all you need is the marriage certificate (translated if applicable)

congrats :)
