Hello,
I have someone asked me the following question, hope anyone can help. They were sponsored under family category.(parents and their children).

Their visa arrived and a daughter had engaged couple of years ago, now can she get married before landing and sponsor him or can she get married over the phone (Phone Nikkah) after landing ? I know phone nikkah used to be valid before, i know someone who I helped filing their papers, they had phone nikkah but that was over 10 years ago. Now, I am not sure if phone nikkah is still valid form of marriage these days.

Thanks

She must wait until after landing to marry. Getting married before landing will invalidate her visa.

Marriages over the phone are not recognized by IRCC. They will need to get married in person.

Absolutely cannot get married over the phone.

If she gets married before landing, her parents have included her as a dependent? Things would get very complex very quickly.
