No one wants to die. ~Steve Jobs. Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.~Napoleon Bonaparte. It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us.Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity. ~Seneca.

Question/Answer.

"Do I become a Canadian when I marry a Canadian?

No. Marriage to a Canadian citizen does not give you citizenship. You must first apply and obtain permanent residence, then apply for Canadian citizenship and meet the same requirements as any other person seeking citizenship in Canada." Internet, Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) website.

I am very happy I married for love - good Lord have mercy. This would have been a frustrating journey. I did go to immigration after we got married (2005) to let them know and they said we could not do a spousal application because, and specifically because I had AIDs. I had to live for 3 years as a temporal resident - and then apply again for permanent residence. My citizenship application is progressing well. I am so glad I did not put my life on hold for immigration. By the time I get my citizenship, I should be almost done my University Education Diploma. Amen. .
