Yes it should be, I changed mine with my marriage certificate from Egypt. I also had to take in the English translation(certified/authenticated) by the Canadian Embassy in Cairo. They didn't have a problem with it, but took copies for their files.

Marriage certificates from certain countries must be apostilled.
Mine is from the USA, there was no need to have it apostilled.

I am guessing you mean hyphenated.
