But then in your case, I would believe that it is important to prove that you are living together for more than a year. IRCC will not recognize your marriage, but you are still eligible as common-law.

I have a friend who wasn’t in his weeding and never met in reality with his wife ( but his marriage was registered officially as me in our country of origin )
His application was spouse not common - law and his wife received her visa in 4 months only on 2015

But if you check the link I sent you already : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1081&top=14

It says that those that sent their application before June 10, 2015 are exempted. You will not be exempted. So be prepared to apply as common-law or to have another marriage that would be recognized by IRCC.

I don't understand. You were not at your own wedding??!

Anyway, I wasn't talking about wedding invite and photos at your own wedding.

I am talking about formal invitation from your friends to their weddings. We have a few very nice ones with our name "printed" on the wedding invites.

You need photos of other activities in addition to your wedding.

IRCC will not recognize your proxy marriage. You can expect your app to be refused.

Do you mean that you have the "official wedding/marriage" done in person and it's official in your country?
And the traditional wedding ceremony was done without you?

Copied from the given link:
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.

It doesn't matter if it's registered in your country or not. Canada doesn't recognise a marriage in which one of the spouse was not physically present. So, again be prepared to apply as common law or you will need to have a new marriage that will be recognized by IRCC.

Just want to clarify. So in your country, the "tradition wedding ceremony" is not required as the process of an official marriage?
What you have done as "official wedding/marriage" in person is all that's required to be legally married.

If that's the case, then the traditional wedding is just a tradition. Not part of being legally married.

So he can "register" at any time? I am a bit confused. Because in Canada, there is only 1 way to get married. You can have as many ceremonies and celebrations as you want. But there is only 1 official day that the bride and the groom will sign the official paperwork. And they will be given the marriage certificate. There is no multi-steps to be married.
