i am a canadian citizen with an overstay problem in the usa. i am in canada now, but i can no longer go to the states. my boyfriend is an illegal immigrant in usa. he came to the usa illegally 20 years ago by crossing the border. about 5 years ago, his green card got approved but he went to jail for 3 years for an aggravated felony. his green card was then denied/cancelled. he then went to immigration jail for 3 months. he has been out of jail for 2 years now. he reports to the immigration office every 2 months in new york and he is facing deportation anytime now( as soon as his passport comes out)

if we get married and i am a canadian citizen, can he get citizenship? since i cannot go to the states right now, we cannot get married in usa. does he have to come across the border to canada? is there any way for this to work?

can he get his citizenship since he has a criminal record in the states?

PS. there is a huge age difference between us, will that make a difference?

If he gets deported to his home country, I suppose you can go and visit him there. If you get married, you can apply to sponsor him for permanent residency but his criminal background will be a problem. He can apply for rehabilitation, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/rehabil.asp once 5 years have passed since he completed his sentence.
