Going from student visa to citizen in Canada?

Going from student visa to citizen in Canada?
If I get a student visa to go from UK to Canada to study for three years, will I then be eligible to apply for citizenship? If not, does anyone know of a way to get Canadian citizenship? You know, without having to get married etc!

under the canadian experience category you must graduate from an approved course of study and then get a work permit and work for 12 months at a full time job in Canada. Once you have worked for 12 months then you are eligible to APPLY for PR status. You must then continue working on the work permit while the PR application is being processed (currently taking about 2 years). Once you get approved for PR you then MUST LIVE in Canada as a PR for 3 years before you are eligible to apply for citizenship. Citizenship is currently taking 18 months to be processed. so altogether it take anywhere up to12 years to get citizenship from the time you begin studying a 4 years course at a Canadian university. And you dont have to be married for any of this process. Getting married gets you PR status within 1 to 2 years and then citizenship within 4 to 5 years after that.

It might. For a student visa, you have to prove you are going back at the end of your studies. If you are leaving a spouse behind, they might see that as proof. If you are taking spouse with you, not proof.
2 :
Sadly, it likely will affect negatively your application. The Canadian immigration authorities are always watchful of people who are coming to Canada for education, than try to establish landed immigrant status and bring over many relatives.

Can a person with a Student Visa to study in Canada cross into the United States.?
I have a friend in Toronto, Canada who is there on a student visa. I am in Chicago and was wondering if he can just hop on a train and cross into the United States on a visit. Or if I can go over there.

You, as an American citizen, can easily go to Canada...you do not need a visa, just a passport. Your friend who is on a student visa in Canada may or may not need a visa to enter the U.S. If he is from a country on the visa waiver list, he does not needs a visa to come to the U.S. He does need to register for the ESTA program. See the 1st and 2nd sites. He may need permission to leave Canada ..people in the U.S. on a student visa must get permission and a special form from the International Students office of the college or university where they are studying, so he needs to go to the similar office at his school and ask. If he is not from a visa waiver country, he would need to apply for a b-2 tourist visa. See lower half of 3rd site for info on how he can apply for a visa. If he needs a visa...it would be far easier for you to go visit him.
