VerifiedThank you for your question. My name is Debra and my goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
So long as the marriage was considered valid in Mexico it is considered valid in Canada.
If that is the case you will need to get divorced before remarrying.
If you live in Canada you would apply for the divorce in Canada.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.
