A single status certificate, also known as a certificate of non-impediment to marriage abroad, confirms that there are no objections to a proposed marriage or civil partnership. This certificate is sometimes required when planning to marry in a foreign country.

Canada does not issue certificates of non-impediment. Instead, it issues a statement in lieu of a certificate of non-impediment to marriage abroad.

Some countries require this document to be issued in Canada and will not accept one from a Canadian embassy, high commission, or consulate abroad. If this applies to you, ensure you submit your request well in advance of your travel dates.
