Canadian citizenship you must:

Be over 18 years of age

Provide proof that you know how to speak and write in 1 of Canada's official languages (either English or French)

Be a Permanent Resident (PR)

Declare that you plan to live in Canada after you become a citizen

Have lived in Canada as a PR for at least 4 years out of the 6 years (1,460 days) before you apply

Be physically present in Canada for at least 183 days of each year during the 4-year period

Have filed your taxes for at least 4 years during the last 6 years and any income tax you may owe must be paid

Apply for citizenship from within Canada

You can't get Canadian citizenship right away just because you are married to a Canadian. Just like the US system, your husband will have to sponsor you to become a permanent resident first.
