The groom, who is said to be a foreign national, did not have the necessary documents to prove his legal residency in Canada.

According to Canadian immigration laws, a foreign partner can only apply for residency if they have been living with their partner for at least 12 months.

It is unclear whether the couple had been living together for the required period. The incident has sparked a debate on the legitimacy of marriages of convenience.
