More details to this question:
The divorce is not granted yet, but I'm wondering if after it is I would have to do something else (as the marriage took place in Miami), I'm afraid that I will still be married in Miami if I do not file my divorce over there... Not sure what I need to do.

Dear Anonymous:
No, not only do you not have to file your divorce in Miami, but you cannot file the divorce in Florida. Florida law requires that at least one of the parties must have resided in Florida for at least 6 months prior to filing for divorce.
Although I am not familiary with Canadian law, I suggest you contact an attorney in the province where you currently reside for guidance in filing for divorce there.
Best of luck,
