I and my wife are both from Toronto. (I am a Landed Immig and my wife is Canadian(desi)). We got married in India, in a Gurdwara enjoying all the cultural and religious ceremonies . Its been 2 yrs now!

How can we register our marriage in Canada? My wife wants to change her last name to my lastname, but Banks, MTO, Health - they all want a marriage proof. But all I have is Gurdwara certificate and our pictures from wedding.

We have our join name on rental lease, plus we have same mailing address for our letters.

Any advise !!!

HERE ARE SOME LINKS TO THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED.
collect some certificates, such as birth certificate, the marriage certificate that was provided to you at the time of the ceremony and approach a justiceof peace there in India and from the registrar of Marriages etc., then ....
