Must i register my marriage in canada?

[jorgus1710]

Do I need to somehow register that I'm married now that im in canada and wanting to do the spousal sponsorship application? (I got married in Poland) Or do i just need to supply them with a translation of the original marriage certificate?

As usual, thanks!

You dont need to register your marriage in Canada. Canada accepts marriage certificates from abroad so long as it is officially translated into English or French if there is no English on the polish marriage certificate. So a photocopy of your marriage certificate and the original notarized translated document to go with it is accepted for CIC PR sponsorship.

Yes, you will have same rights as any married couples in Canada. Canada accepts marriage abroad so long as it is a legal marriage recognized in native country.
