It depends on your religion and ethnic background. Is your fiancee of Pakistani origin? Are you both Muslim? Is it an arranged marriage? In general, if the marriage is legal in Pakistan and in Canada, it will be recognized in Canada.

@canadianwoman... The answers to your questions are as follows;

Yes, my fiancee is of pakistani origin as well as myself.
Yes, we both are muslims.
Yes, it is an arranged marriage.
Yes, it is legal and recognized in pakistan.

Can you further guide me what documents are needed in my case ?

Thanks

It would be helpful if you can get an official marriage certificate.

you have to do so many things after your wedding...

arrange marriage certificate in English
proof of relationship
marriage pictures
your relation proofs chats / calls / msgs
family pictures
greeting cards
any thing related to you and your wife..

Case should be apply from your wife, she suppose to stay in Canada during process if she is on PR or If she is citizen she can stay with you during whole process but she have to submit more proofs, when you will get PR you both will move Canada asap.

Its long process you and your wife really have to work on it..

Good Luck.

Are you having a big wedding ceremony and celebration? If so, keep lots of proof of this to put in your application.

Pakistanis have more luck getting approved if they have both the nikah and the rukhsati (if this is the custom for your ethnic group).

It is also good to show evidence of the arranging of the marriage. For example, you can get a letter from both sets of parents explaining why they agreed to the match. If there was someone else who helped arrange the marriage, they can give you a letter as well.

As noted above, you also need proof of communication with your fiancee, such as phone records. Lots of photos are needed as well: of the two of you together; of the both of you with relatives and friends; of all ceremonies related to the wedding.
