You can not remarry on the basis of canadian divorce decree legally alone in india. However on the basis of canadian divorce decree you can apply for divorce in Indian court of law which will grant you divorce easily.

A marriage solemnized under the hindu law is governed by the provisions of the same.A divorce decree passed by a Canadian court is valid only when it has been passed under the hindu law otherwise it is null and void.
