Summary of the law in Canada:

http://www.duhaime.org/LegalResource...es-Canada.aspx

“Prostitution is not illegal in Canada. We find ourselves in an anomalous, some would say bizarre, situation where almost everything related to prostitution has been regulated by the criminal law except the transaction itself.” [Chief Justice Lamer]

Thirdly, the Code prohibits anybody from procuring or attempting to procure or solicit a person to have illicit sexual intercourse, who entices a client to a bawdy-house for the purposes of prostitution or who lives on the veils of prostitution of another person (i.e. pimping).

Illicit sexual intercourse apparently refers to sex outside of marriage.

Because the law covers procurement, evidence of sexual intercourse is necessary.
