Help Needed

[RossandDanielle]

Hello everyone,, Bonjour a tous

I am getting married to a Canadian in May, and I am lost with the whole Immigration system.
Bientot je me marrie avec une Canadienne, et je. Suis perdu avec tout ce système d'immigration. Grrrr
I have already taken the CELPIP English test,
J'ai deja pris le test Anglaise CELPIP.
Now we need some advice to help take the next step
Maintenant en a besoin de conseils pour la suite.
I do not have an exceptional education but I do have exceptional will power and motivation to live with my future wife in Whitehorse Yukon.
J'ai pas une éducation exceptionnelle, mais en occurrence j'ai une motivation hors norm, pour pouvoir vivre avec ma femme et travailler.
As you can see I speak both French and English, I have even written emails to various groups to offer my help in the community. Where do I go from here. Please
Do I apply from outside or 6 month visitor visa and then inside. Grrrrr so complicated.
I'm English, Ex Royal Air Force, and willing to help with the local community.
Thank you all for reading. Ross

Sounds like you will be best suited to 'Spousal Sponsorship' after you get married. Lots of 'unofficial' information here:

Do I apply from outside or 6 month visitor visa and then inside.

It's entirely up to you.
OUTSIDE application will allow you to come to and from Canada as often as you please as a visitor during the process. There is no work permit with outland app.

INSIDE Canada you'll get an open work permit after 3-4 months. However you are not advised to leave Canada while app is processing (12 months approx time).

Really anything about your education, job expectations or community involvement is irrelevant for sake of the application. You'll be getting PR status solely based on being married to a Canadian spouse,
