Parents Marriage Certificate is not present

[atulsingh2016]

Hi Members,

My parents have got their name in recent draw and while filling the application there is a section to provide their marriage certificate. They don't have a marriage certificate. How can we prove their marriage? What document should we use?

All documents required for a complete application must be submitted together, at the same time, for each set of parents and grandparents you are sponsoring.

Important: If you can’t provide one or more documents required on the document checklist, you must provide a written explanation for each missing document so your application is not delayed in processing or returned to you as incomplete. You must also provide any other evidence or documents you have available to satisfy the requirement. Upload your explanation to your online application under the section “Additional supporting documents” and select the document name “Letter of explanation.”
It’s helpful to include any proof that you applied to get supporting documents (for example, a marriage certificate payment receipt). The officer processing your application will contact you if they need more information.

Marriage certificates

• If you have a co-signer and they are your spouse, make sure you upload a copy of your valid marriage certificate with your applicationunder “Additional supporting documents.” The document(s) you submit must show that the marriage was legally registered with the government where it took place.
  • Note: A record of solemnization is not acceptable for marriages that were legally registered in Canada or the United States of America.
• If you are only sponsoring one parent or grandparent because the other is deceased, you don’t need to include a marriage certificate. You should include a letter explaining the situation, as well as the deceased parent’s death certificate.
• If your parents don’t have a marriage certificate, include a detailed explanation as to why you can’t provide one.
• If your parents are divorced, you can include a notarized divorce certificate to prove your parent is not a dependant of your other parent.
