Hello there,
I’m a british citizen and my husband is a Canadian citizen. We have completed the religious marriage (‘Nikah’) in the UK buy because of the covid situation, we couldn’t legally register the marriage because all registrations are suspended indefinitely.
My husband returned to Canada and my plan is to travel there to join him.
However, Canadian borders are closed to everyone other than family members and spouse of Canadian citizens.
Does anyone know if I would be allowed entry into Canada as the spouse of a citizen, using my Nikah certificate. I have had it notarised by a solicitor but the marriage itself is not registered in a court of law.
I contacted the Canadian consulate who did not answer the question. They just said that I can travel if I’m a spouse. Obviously I don’t want to get there and be turned away by border control!
Anyone else been in a similar situation?
Thank you
