That's a fantastic question!
I'm actually going to Mexico next week where my sister and her fiancee are going to be married. I'm sure it varies per country, but I know even though they'll be married in Mexico, when they return to Canada the marriage is NOT recognized- They still have to go to a justice of the peace and essentially do it again.
Now my girlfriend and I are thinking of the same things, as she's a Swedish citizen and so we've been looking into all the paper work involved, and at least to bring her into Canada and prove we're married the government requires photos of us together over the past years, details of any wedding or engagements, seriously tonnes of paper work.
Again though, I certainly don't know all the in's and outs of it. If anyone else has any direct experience with this, please post it!
