Becoming a Canadian citizen does not void your marriage. Only a divorce does that.

Thank you. I am already divorced. Just wondering if i am already a canadian citizen, will it void my marriage in the philippines and considered my ex husband as single.

Citizenship does not affect your or his marital status. If the divorce was recognized in the Philippines, then your ex became single because of the divorce, not because you were already a Canadian citizen.
