In the U.S. and Canada, a divorce normally disqualifies the spouse from military medical benefits.
There is only one kind of marriage in Canada and it is open to everyone. If an opposite-sex spouse can get the benefit, then a same-sex spouse can get it too.
The Canadian female spouse is having an affair and kicked her American spouse out. Their child was born in Canada. The American male spouse wants to keep his daughter in the United States, what are the chances?
I am Canadian and I am pretty sure that you need to be a Canadian citizen to officially live here. You could try sending a letter to the Canadian government.(here it's free)
The answer is no, you two can't get married and then ask Canadian Immigration for her to stay. She has to apply in her country. She could come here on a visitor's visa, the two of you could marry while she's here, but in the end of things she would eventually have to apply for Canadian Citizenship. The fact that the two of you are married would help, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor as far as Immigration Canada is concerned. Best to follow all guidelines. You don't want her to be deported.Clarification: Although you can be married in Canada, a foreign marriage to a Canadian citizen also allows a foreign individual to apply for Permanent Residence, and after a period of 3 years, the resident can apply for citizenship. The spouse will normally be the sponsor and the immigrant spouse must be at least 16 years of age.
If you have a spouse to sponsor you and have a job, and can speak English or French, then you will very likely get citizenship.
No, they cannot. The Canadian spouse must sponsor the immigration. After living 3 years out of the past four years in Canada, then they can apply for Canadian citizenship.
There is many steps to take for her to come to Cananda. Its going to be hard for her to leave the country depending on how serious her criminal records are. You may be able to get her into Canada as your spouse, if her criminal record is not too serious, but that will not make her a Canadian citizen. That is a completely different process which requires at least three years residence in Canada.
Since 2002 law, to keep PR status the person should accumulate 730 days of physically presence in Canada - with few exceptions - in all rolling 5 years periods following the person become PR (the day person become PR and each day after that started a new 5 years period).The exceptions are that days the person outside Canada - because of working with a Canadian company / institution oraccompanying a spouse (or parent, if the person is a minor) which is Canadian citizen or accompanying a spouse (or parent, if the person is a minor) which is PR who outside Canada because of working with a Canadian company / institution - are counted as if the person inside Canada for PR residency obligation purposes (for other purpose it may not be counted as such).In general this is how you do the calculation:1. Track all days where the person fulfill all six conditions:* outside Canada, and* not under 22 with Canadian citizen parent, and* not with the person's Canadian citizen spouse, and* being outside Canada not because of working with Canadian company / institution, and* not under 22 with parent who is outside Canada not because of working with Canadian company / institution, and* not with the person's spouse who is outside Canada not because of working with Canadian company / institution.2. If in any stretch of 5 years (starting the days became PR and any days after that) the total of number of days in that period fulfilling all 6 condition in no. 1 exceeds 3 years, then the person's PR status will be invalid, otherwise, the person PR status should be fine in the matter of the residency obligation.

The best thing even if it not necessary is to get your marriage license validated, that is a seal (stamp) from the Canadian Embassy/Consulate in Nigeria. Anyway a valid marriage license will be enough, then the Canadian resident should be able to sponsor his/her spouse to get a permanent resident visa to live in Canada. Check The Canadian immigration websites.
