Unfortunately, you cannot automatically gain Canadian citizenship based on marriage (whether same sex or opposite sex).

Your spouse or common law partner must sponsor you to immigrate to Canada first. Like all the other immigrants, you have to reside in Canada for 3 years (1095 days) in order to be able to apply for Canadian citizenship.
