Hello everyone. I'm currently an international student with a study permit. Now I want to help my girlfriend with the open work permit.
Actually, I want to return to my country and get married with her. But due to the covid-19, it's nearly impossible for me to travel back.(My country has a very strict policy)
Now I notice that Utah state in America provides online wedding service.(Marriage License | Utah County Clerk/Auditor )
So I'm wondering whether I can use this marriage certificate in the application. Also, do I need any notarization for this certificate?
Thanks very much for your help.

Online or proxy marriages aren’t accepted by IRCC.

Thanks for your information. But I have checked the condition in IRCC's website. Does IRCC recognize marriages conducted by proxy, telephone, internet and fax? (cic.gc.ca) It seems that there are some exempt conditions."
  • the marriage took place outside of Canada, and
  • It was registered in a country where marriage by proxy is legal.

You only copied the part you wanted. This is a bullet on being in the Canadian Armed Forces.

You are a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. The marriage may be recognized if:
  • You could not be physically present at your marriage ceremony, because of travel restrictions related to your service,
  • the marriage took place outside of Canada, and
  • It was registered in a country where marriage by proxy is legal
