Hi,

To start with I came into Canada a year or so ago by means I don't wish to explain but to put in simple words I dont have any kind of ID on me at the moment. A few months ago I met my wife who is a Canadian citizen. We started going out and got married two months ago.

We are currently happily married, but due to limited option in the job market for me we are giving a though and want to apply for Canadian citizenship. Since i dont have any ID on me and I can't provide any proof on how I got here Can someone please help me and point me in the right direction??? As to how to go about this problem and figure out a solution??? 

Thank You in advance...

Hi there,

Your marriage with a Canadian citizen will not grant you the Canadian citizenship.

In order to apply for the Canadian citizen you need to physically leave 1095 days in Canada (3 years). You will have to prove your identity. However, I find it weird that you came to Canada without a piece of ID. Don't you have a PR card, your Pr confirmation or a passport ?

Dude... you know who are you asking for help from??? All the people on this forum are exhausted by the immigration and citizenship system of canada. They are just trying to share their experiences and hope they get some support from each other during these lengthy process. And I dont blame canadian government for this state entirely. It is people like you who come here illegally, make the matters worse for everybody else. Just marrying canadian citizen doesnt make you canadian citizen....

Your wife will have to sponsor you for permanent resident status first. See here for details:

Citizenship is still many years away for you and you do not qualify to apply at this time.
