Even if you were initially married in Vietnam, there shouldn't be any reason that you can't be divorced in Canada. Canada seems to have "no-fault" divorce after a full year of separation. http://divorce-canada.ca/legal-grounds- … -in-canada

Do you really need to get divorced, if not, then just leave things the way they are.

She doesn't have to come to Canada. She just has to sign the papers. Open the link I gave you then look for the link for uncontested divorce about half way down the page. You really don't want to be seeking serious legal advice on this website anyway. See a real lawyer, not an armchair lawyer.
