A:
Yes, you can use a marriage certificate issued by the UAE civil and family court to add your spouse to your Canada PR application. The key requirement is that the marriage must be legally recognized in the country where it took place. Since your marriage was conducted legally in the UAE, the certificate should be valid for Canadian immigration purposes.
When submitting your application, include a certified copy of your marriage certificate and an official translation if it is not in English or French. The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will review the documents to confirm the legality of your marriage.
Make sure to provide all required documentation and follow the instructions carefully to avoid delays in processing your application. It’s a good idea to keep copies of all submitted documents for your records.
