Marrying in Brazil or Canada?

9 years ago
Greetings all.

My fiance and I are trying to find out the best way to create our future marriage. We are in the beginning phase. Currently, I'm living in Canada and he is in Brazil. He has to finish his degree ending in 2017. I am ok with living in Brazil for that bit of time, but I need to continue traveling once married as I am a freelance artist and paint and have exhibits internationally.

My questions:
* If I marry in Brazil, do I have to stay there for 2 years and not be able to travel after marriage?

* What is expected from me after I marry in Brazil?

* Should I try for citizenship or for permanent residence, as I have dual citizenship France and Canada,


* Do we have to marry in both countries ?


and any other advice and strategy would really be helpful! you all seem so great on here.

Thanks so much!
