By applying for "adjustment of status." aka "green card." But i don't know if it's possible with a F-1 (student visa). Visit the USCIS office nearest you, or their website for further details. Tip: Google it (search engine) under "INS" or "USCIS" to find the website, since I don't remember it.

F-1 is not the path to greencard. You have 2 options:

# Get a job and change from F-1 to H1-B. If your employer is willing to sponsor your greencard, then you will be eligible to obtain a greencard in 5 years. # Marry a US citizen.

Yes, but it will require the person to return to/wait inCanada for a spousal visa to become available. That should take about 2 1/2 years when married to a permanent resident. When marrying a permanent resident, you CANNOT stay inside the US while waiting for a spouse visa/green card during that time.
