Ottawa police have charged city resident Viktor Konokhov, 63, with first-degree murder, accusing him of killing his 64-year-old wife Olga.
Police said last week she had not been heard from since January and her disappearance was suspicious.
Her body has not been found, police said, adding that their investigation continues.
Ottawa police are classifying the case as a femicide, which broadly means a woman or girl was killed because of their gender.
