Your Canadian will be valid, except regarding your real estate, for which Dominican law mandates that local inheritance laws will apply (for example, because of the "forced heirship" provision in Dominican law, you cannot leave out your children).

In any case, you should consult a Dominican attorney with knowledge of estate planning.
