marrying in Canada

[chemax79]

Hi, I am Filipino from Philippines, living in Ontario, Canada. My question is not for myself.This is about my cousin which is Filipino of course. Shes married to a Filipino man but separated for 6 years already. The guy has his own family with 3 kids from other woman. My cousin has Canadian boyfriend, and wanted her to marry in Canada.My question, is my cousin can marry his Canadian boyfriend in Canada even his still married to his ex-husband?

No. Your cousin needs to be divorced or have her marriage annulled. If she's lived in Canada for enough time, depending on the province, she could apply for divorce in Canada.
