American marrying Canadian in Canada (New Brunswick) - proof of being single

[Marrigold]

I'm having a hard time answering this question:

Does a US citizen (never previously married) marrying a Canadian citizen in New Brunswick need to provide proof of being single, i.e. 'a statement of non-impediment to marriage abroad'? If so, how is this done?

Thank you!

Not sure if it applies... but I got married in another country (Korea) and they required me to go to the Canadian embassy first to get an affidavit that I was single. That was all I needed.

I would check with the province (NB) specifically what document they require.

No.

Unless New Brunswick has specific laws on this. Might be worth checking out the provincial website (gnb.ca).

You will need to both go a registry to get your marriage license. They will ask you some questions, you sign a form and pay the fee (around $100).

It's Canada. You don't need blood tests, you don't need to prove you are single, it doesnt matter you are foreign! Make sure you take valid ID with you (I suggest a passport) and that's it!

I'm British and got married in Calgary to a Canadian. Was a very simple process.
