    british citizen getting married to a canadian citizen

    Are you between the ages of 18-30? If so you can apply for Working Holiday visa (IEC) and work for a year (maybe longer for UK citizens). I worked for two years in Canada on a Working Holiday followed by a co-op visa (you need a job offer and can work for another year).
