What your years behind on informantion there
In Canada, the term "British subject" was replaced by "Commonwealth citizen" when the Canadian Citizenship Act 1947 was replaced by the Citizenship Act 1977, which came into force on 15 February 1977.

Why would she need to apply for a UK passport if she has a Canadian passport? Her Canadian passport should be sufficient to get into any country with the proper visas. If she wanted to try and get a UK passport I would suspect she needs to apply and become a UK citizen first which could take years, whatever their citizenship requirements are...

There are strict rules governing who is eligible for UK citizenship. Generally, applicants are eligible to apply for British citizenship following a period of Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.

Unless your are already British citizens by decent (with a qualifying parent born in the UK), all adults must register or naturalise in order to earn UK citizenship.

Additionally, applicants for UK citizenship must complete the Life in the UK test.

Here are two (2) links for you. The first describes a Canadian citizen wishing to obtain a British passport. The second is to the link she found that helped her. Hope that helps.

Firstly, Great Britain does not recognise dual nationality,

Secondly, she , as a lawful spouse, can retain her own nations citizenship, and be permitted residency by virtue of marriage to a UK ( United Kingdom ), citizen

Thirdly, if she were to apply for UK citizenship or a passport, she would be required to sign a declaration surrendering her Canadian status, before such a passport is granted,

Finally, I know, and have worked with two female Canadians, who were present on Canadian passports and had no problems coming here, for the purpose of employment, neither required work visas or permits, ther reverse is not permitted to us, however, and Australians are permitted as are Americans, under the age of 24, along with New Zealanders, to work here, for a period of up to 4 years, withouit actually having any paperwork but their passports, A situation that many feel unhappy about, as several South Africans and New Zealanders and Austtralians have gone on to become ministers of parliament, a situation that would never be permitted, in their home country, among them Peter Hain and a former New Zealander who became our home secretary for a while, before retiring on an index linked pension, to his homeland, a situation that is not allowed to us commoners, who do not get increased pensions if we emigrate, they remain forever set to the amount we receive at the time of retirement, and also, by the way, the New Zealander also qualifies as a former member of parliament, for this little perk, the normal people of GB are a second class citizenship, group, and it is, I feel, time for a little reciprocity between our nations and those we permit special treatment for...

But in your situation, no problems are likely, but the possibility of questions by the home office or immigration may arise about your relationship, and whether there is cause for concern about a possible arranged marriage, or a marriage of convenience, for the purpose of securing a UK passporty illegally, if the time that you have known the spouse in question, is very short, if you have a degree of knowledge of your spouses history and your relationship is a common shared experience ( i.e. you are aware of things such as who her family are how many brothers and sisters she may have, her dad or mums names, schooling or work she does, or has done, this is usually enough to convince any immigration checks, but beware if you give different stories about how you met, or courted, because they may remove this right of entry on the grounds, not of evidence, but mere suspicion, and they do not have to ask a court for this matter to be resolved, that power is in their grip entirely, and an appeal from abroad is most time consuming and expensive.

But otherwise, we are the easiest country for anyone to enter, in the world, at the moment, so none of this is likely......
and NO it does not take years, it can actually be done in a day or two, if all the facts are clear, and the Canadian authorities have no cause for witholding because of arrest warrants or a prison sentence or an unpaid fine remains outstanding. but have all the i.d. required by both of you, and that includes social security details and birth certificates etc passport ( obviously included ).

Given that Canada is a part of the Crowns' dominion, I don't see why she even needs a passport for Blighty, she is a British subject. Otherwise, she may need a Canadian one seeing as the records back in the UK may have yet to catch up with the wedding. Being your spouse she should after such have access to both. I believe that would give her 'residency' status in Britain. Good Luck.

you would both become dual citizens of your two countries
