Your partner can sponsor you for PR (Permanent Residence) after you have married. There is no automatic citizenship. It seems you are just starting out, so I advise you to go to www.cic.gc.ca for more information.

It makes no difference if you are same-sex or opposite-sex, btw.

one can get automatic citizenship only being a child of Canadian. otherwise you must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before applying after being PR.
