My husband and I married in U.K with a religious ceremony only, a nikkah. Is that enough to show we are married as we purchased the certificate etc? He is a citizen of Canada. We want to start the process now but not sure if we have to also have a civil legal marriage too.

If it is legally recognized in the UK, then yes. If not, and I doubt that it is, then no. You would need to get legally married.

I believe that you will be required to perform a legally recognized civil marriage ceremony as well.
