She can sponsor your PR as a spouse. You will have to be 100% honest about your immigration history and you won't be able to enter Canada on a temporary basis. You'll have to process your application outland and you may have to return to your home country for an interview. You also need a valid passport.

Is it gone make any difference to my visa application cuz i was in us illegal????
thank you very much .
so there is any chances to denied my PR as a spouse application from CANADA immigration? coz i was in us illegal ?
As long as you are 100% honest about your immigration history in the US - no.
I'm an illegal alien that came into the u.s at age 5 currently (16) and I'm wondering if later on I could apply for a PR in canada, I am currently learning about stocks but since I can't do that in the u.s without using a Social security number I have no choice then to move somewhere else(future).
Yes you could apply for permanent residency if you qualify. You may have to return to your home country and you will need a valid passport.
It's impossible for any of us to say - it will depend on your qualifications and background. You need to research Canada's economic immigration programs to see what it takes to qualify and apply. I would recommend you start by researching the Express Entry program which is a points based immigration program where those with the most points based on education, skilled work experience, age, language capabilities and other factros are selected first. Right now you need to have 460+ points to be selected. More information here:

Note that once you leave the US, you will automatically be banned from returning for 10 years.
I overstayed in the USA with my visitor visa (6 months) while waiting for the approval of an L1 visa. Unfortunately the company closed and the L1 visa was denied. I have been living here for 6 years, my youngest daughter was born here in the US (5 years old). My family and I no longer want to be here and we would like to migrate to Canada. What type of visa should I apply for? student visa or permanent residence? Can I apply from the USA without having to return to my country of origin?
In my country I don't have a family, they are all here (parents, brothers, cousins, with legal stay) Thank you in advance for your help.
PS: I´m a telecom engineer.

Any sort of temporary visa (study permit, work permit, visitor visa) will not be approved due to your status in the U.S. You will need to focus on applying for permanent residency through an economic immigration program like Express Entry. Yes, you can apply without leaving the U.S. Note that once you leave the U.S., you won't be able to re-enter for a decade. You can find details about the Express Entry program below. This is a points based program and right now you need 470+ points to be selected.
