Hello,
Thank you for sharing your daughter's situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.
Generally, a foreign marriage will be recognized by the Canadian government, if the marriage:
-Is legal according to the laws of the place where it occurred; and
-Complies with Canada's federal laws on marriage.
Marriages that are legally performed in a foreign country are usually valid in Canada, and you do not need to register them in Canada.
You can find some additional information in our Settlement.Org Will the Canadian government recognize my foreign marriage? article.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
