acceptance of proxy marriage.

[RainaRJ]

Does anyone know, CIC accpepted any proxy marriage (Proxy marriage is defined as a marriage in which one or both of the participants are not physically present and are represented by another person at the solemnization of the marriage) application after 2015?

No.
You'd better go and perform all the ceremonies/rituals and have plenty of evidence to show it as a real marriage.

Seems to be a recurring questions these days.......

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.
