This oversight was addressed with the Civil Marriage Act, which was passed in the house on 2005 June 28, by the senate on 2005 July 19, and finally given royal assent on 2005 July 20.

No. I was married to a Brazilian (in Brazil), and divorced in Canada. Brazil will not recognize the divorce ... well sort of, but its very expensive. So, we had to divorce again in Brazil. If any married couple moves to Brazil for work or whatever, they will have to marry again if they want to keep their status. Brazil recognizes common law status and gay marriage. Actual marriage is for pensions, or medical coverage from work ... etc.
