• Answer:

  Marriage licensing and certificates are issued by the individual provinces. You'd have to look up "[province name] marriage license" for details, although most are similar. You need to visit a 'vital statistics' office, fill out an application form, you need to be 18 (or 19 depending on the province) (or 16+ with your parents present to sign), you need (about) $75, and you'll need proof of your legal name (usually birth certificate, driver's license, passport, etc.). Note: documentation must be in English or French or include a certified translation. You also need to sign that you are not otherwise legally married. The license is good for 60 or 90 days. You then need to find someone to marry you. This can be a marriage commissioner or a certified clergy. Most provinces list marriage commissioners on their web site. Clergy you'd need to make arrangements with a church. They will fill out the rest of the form. You get married, sign it and then they will either provide you with a marriage license or the province will mail one to you. Getting married in Canada does not grant citizenship, permanent residency, or the right to stay in Canada. When her visa expires, she will need to leave. If you then wish to sponsor a spouse for permanent residency, the details are on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada web site -- including the process, fees, time lines, application forms, contact information, etc. You need to apply and you'll need to submit either a marriage certificate or proof you are living common-law, and you'll need to demonstrate that you have a steady job, residence, and savings sufficient to support a spouse -- CIC will determine an amount based on your living situation, city, and your spouse although it starts at $13,000. She will need to undergo background, criminal, and medical exams in her home country. The process will take between one and two years depending upon the backlog at the Canadian embassy nearest her home country.
