US Citizen marrying Canadian, citizenship Q's

[BeccaL]

My situation involves me visiting Canada for 2 months, getting married to my Canadian boyfriend during my visit (I am a US citizen) within the first week, and if anyone knows how long it takes for me to gain citizenship through my marriage to my boyfriend, what the paperwork trail involves, if I'm able to work during that time, can I extend the duration of my visit in light of the fact that I just got married (I have a roundtrip ticket with a return date in November), etc. Also, what is sponsorship and does it apply to my situation? And additionally I would like to gain knowledge on some contact info on who I can TALK to, and other than being referred to www.cic.gc.ca, which didn't provide any really useful info for my specific situation that I could find. I would greatly appreciate any information or guidance anyone can provide.

American marrying Canadian...

Hi Becca,

Did you ever get a response to your query? I too will be marrying a Canadian and will be moving up there. From your post, it looks like you've run into the same situations as I have... not a lot of information available. If you could, would you be able to email me at timbeeker@gmail.com, if you've gotten any information in your quest?

Thanks,

Tim
