yes, but you will need to convince CIC that your marriage is not out of convenience to legalize your status.

your new wife would be required to sponsor you. In Canada applications are taking about 14-16 months.

slow down. this is not a piece of cake. Yes, you can do it from inside Canada but you need to present a very strong case to CIC that your relationship is real. Pictures, letters, plane tickets, family involvment, you name it - they will want to see it. Why? because they are sure you are using a Canadian to remain in Canada and it is up to you to prove them wrong.

I certainly hope ´the girl´ is not reading your reply. Nothing like instilling confidence that your intention is remotely honourable.

This girl will need to take financial responsibility for you for 3 years after you land. It is not a simple matter of ´marry me, sponsor me and I will be on my way´.

Why don´t you propose to sharon right now. She can sponsor you. She is bored and talking to herself in dual intent thread.

you have 2 options - live common law for 1 year (you will need to show joint bank accounts, leases etc) and then apply or marry and begin sponsorship application immediately.

Your game plan really does not smell very good.

and contrary to Sutar´s suggestion - I am not available :)

have you considered going home and coming back legally on your own merits?

sure would be simpler.

I assume you are working. how about a work permit?
