Hi

I got married couple of months back when i visited my home country and also got my marriage registered. I was in my home country from 1st Dec to 15th Dec. But i got my marriage registered with 25th Nov as wedding date (when i was not physically present in the country) on 5th Dec due to some family reasons.<span style="line-height: 1.4;"> Some of the wedding traditions were done on 25th Nov which i attended remotely via video call and rest once i was in the country.</span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;"> </span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Now i need to apply for a dependent Visitor Visa (and possibly a Open work permit later) for my wife.

1. If you use Nov 25 as the wedding date when you weren't there and participated by video, then CIC won't recognize the marriage.

Does CIC recognize marriages conducted by proxy, telephone, internet and fax?

No. As of June 10, 2015, CIC no longer recognizes marriages conducted abroad by proxy, telephone, fax, Internet or other similar forms of marriage where one or both parties are not physically present at the ceremony.

Applications received before June 10, 2015 are not subject to the new regulations.

An exception has been made for members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are unable to be physically present at their marriage ceremony due to travel restrictions related to their service. This applies to cases where the marriage took place outside of Canada and was registered in a foreign country where marriage by proxy is legal.

Also, as the proxy marriage happened in India, my home country where its legal and has also been registered later in presence of both of us (certificate has a picture of both of us along with signatures)  should it not be considered as Legal even in Canada?

If this is the case, 

Im afraid that won't work for now as my marriage is only 2 months old and we haven't lived together yet.
