[Truly Scrumptious]

Well, the law is there’s a one year residency requirement for a divorce in Canada, I get that. And it seems simple enough if one of you is a Canadian resident, but what about when both parties live in another country? It’s not like they can just come here and wait the year out, unless they are financially able to live for a year without an income (not to mention visa requirements which I am assuming could be extended under those conditions). Unless there’s a provision for this through Immigration Canada (which I doubt), I’m not sure how it’s even feasible.

When same sex marriage became legal here, the facts were clear: any couple could come here and get married, but that marriage would not be legal in the couple’s home country if same sex marriage wasn’t already legal there. It seems almost preposterous to imagine that the possibility of divorce was never considered, or provisioned for.
