Can a Refugee Marry in Canada?

Published in Immigration Law 1 min read

Yes, refugees can marry in Canada.

Refugees in Canada have the same legal rights as Canadian citizens, including the right to marry.

To get married in Canada, both individuals must meet the legal requirements, which include:

*  Being at least 18 years old
*  Not being already married
*  Having the legal capacity to marry
*  Obtaining a marriage license

The marriage process is the same for refugees and Canadian citizens.

If a refugee is seeking to marry a Canadian citizen, they may need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of their refugee status.

It is important to note that marriage laws can vary by province and territory.

For more information on marriage requirements in Canada, you can consult the website of the province or territory where you plan to get married.
