What are the Canadian marriage immigration terms?

Canadian marriage immigration conditions

It should be noted that Canadian permanent residents or citizens who return to China for marriage registration, regardless of whether their household registration or identity cards remain in China, must apply for a single certificate in Canada before returning to China for marriage registration. Therefore, the procedure that must be followed is:

1, Canadian citizens and China citizens living in Canada, if they want to get married in China, they must be at least 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women in accordance with the laws of China, that is, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China.

2. Canadian citizens married in China and China citizens living in Canada must provide the local China marriage registration office (Civil Affairs Bureau) with:

(1) My valid Canadian passport and Chinese visa. If you are a Canadian citizen, you must also provide immigration documents in China.

(2) A health check-up certificate issued by the hospital designated by the marriage registration authority in China upon arrival in China.

(3) Submit the completed Canadian single certificate, including name, gender, date and place of birth, nationality, valid identity document and number, occupation and economic source, and marital status (unmarried, widowed or divorced). Widowed persons must be accompanied by a death certificate. Divorce must be accompanied by a court divorce judgment. Divorce judgments of foreign courts must be approved by China courts (Chinese translation is required). The marriage inquiry record issued by the Canadian Household Registration Office cannot be regarded as a single certificate, but can only be used as an attachment to the single certificate.

3. China citizens and Canadians living in Ontario and Manitoba, Canada, must apply for a single certificate, which must be notarized by a Canadian lawyer or notary, certified by the Ontario Cabinet Administration Department or the Manitoba Governor's Office, and then sent to the China Consulate for certification.

Generally, it takes five working days to go through the authentication procedures of documents at the China Consulate. In case of emergency in special circumstances, you have to pay extra and take it on the same day.

The validity of the single certificate must be sent to the consulate for certification within three months from the date of notarization. Marriage must be registered within six months from the date of certification by the consulate, otherwise it will be invalid. The waiting time of the whole program varies from two weeks to four weeks. Therefore, the bride and groom who intend to return to China to register for marriage must have sufficient time to prepare.
