I will be an International Student in Canada, my GF is Canadian resident, how does the marriage process work?

I will be getting to Canada end of summer, and I wanted to know if I get married to my GF who is a resident, how does the process work of becoming legal, and how long?
Thanks in advance ...

The sponsorship information can be found at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp
It's unlikely that your GF will be denied to sponsor if she is over 18, isn't on social assistance and doesn't have a criminal record. You will have to prove to immigration that the relationship is real though. Start collecting data. How did you meet, what souvenirs do you have of your relationship, trips taken together, photos etc. Do you have a joint lease, joint bank account, any joint bills. Do you have phone bills from the time you started dating. All this adds up. When sponsorship applications are denied, it's usually because immigration doesn't believe it's a real marriage.
You will have 2 ways to apply for sponsorship called inland and outland. Inland is when you state that you are living in Canada and request your file to be processed in Canada. This actually takes longer and you are not advised to travel while it's in process. It may take you 1-2 years to get permanent residency this way.
If you apply outland, you state yourself as officially not living in Canada and request your file to be processed in your homeland. If your student visa is issued for a 1 year or more, you can also ask for it to be processed where you live which is in Canada although they will then send it to the US since they don't process outland files in Canada. This method should get you PR within several months, see average times at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp |

You go the a church and say "I do". Than you file for a legal alien status which will over time become a permanent situation. |
