Is marriage certificate required for spouse sponsorship for marriage solemnised in Ontario

[robinsinghsobti]

Hi,

I got married in Ontario few days back and am going to apply for spouse sponsorship. But the Service Ontario says that it'll take 2-3 months before I could get the marriage certificate. So, my query is that is marriage certificate required or will the Ontario registered marriage licence would be fine?

Regards
Robin

I believe that the marriage certificate is required. The licence says that you CAN marry. The certificate says that you DID marry.

A marriage certificate is required and not the license.U need to request online and that could speed up the processing time for you.
