Outside Canada and Marriage Recognition

[Badminton]

My partner said that he saw that if our marriage is not recognized in his country (because we are gay) then we are unable to do the outside Canada process. Is this true? We have been planning to do the outside process and been preparing for it.

A marriage is recognized in Canada as long as it is recognized wherever it was performed. So even if it is not recognized in your home countries, as long as it is recognized wherever it was done, Canada will accept this as the basis of a family class spousal sponsorship.
