Thousands thanks, Sailor. But..It seems like that I must have a job with reliable income before I come back to china for marriage. Is this necessary?

It's not required and I don't know why... anyway, you have right to get married no matter whether you have a job, right?

To get a certificate of being single...1, Go to a public notary ( mostly also a lawyer), and he'll print a paper, which indicates your personal status, and ask you to sign in front of him. Then he makes a certificate. (you can find a public notary in yellowpages.)
2, Go to the provincial government to authenticate your certificate. (You may ask the lawyer for the address.) This takes $16 in Ontario.
3, Go to the China's consulate for the final step.
4, When you get to China, have all your stuff translated into Chinese.

Further questions about marriage...1. Which department of the government should I contact?
2. Must it be the provincial government? Can I do it in city government? Must I go directly? Can I send thru paper mail?
3. Can I authenticate my certificate in the Chinese Consulate at Vancouver?
3. If someone has such experience in Vancouver, please post the whole process to help. Thanx a lot!
