No. You either have to divorce in Canada and then marry, or remain common-law partners. You are not currently eligible to marry.

Thank you for quick response! Is it acceptable to file a divorce here even if my strange husband now and I take the marriage outside Canada.
Though we file our taxes in Canada and our status there is married. Sorry for another clarification.

As long as you meet the eligibility criteria for divorce in Canada, (length of residency, separation period, etc), yes.
