As said above, you have to become a permanent resident first. There is no direct path to citizenship.

Recommend that you research the Express Entry immigration program to assess your chances of being selected for PR. Express Entry is a points-based program and you want to have 470+ points to have a good chance of being selected.

Citizenship by descent is the quickest way, but this requires that one of your parents was a Canadian citizen when you were born.

Well, he asked to become Canadian Citizen.

He did not ask how to become PR?

@bruzehual start inventing time machine :)

Not trying to troll, I personally do not like this thread. People here came to Canada as refugees, students workers. Then it took time to get PR and now it takes time to get citizenship.

What makes you special? What did you do for Canada and Canadians to get citizenship faster than others?

Since you asked about the fastest way, for anyone who is not already a citizen but without a proof of citizenship, here you are :
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/canadian-citizenship/grant/ministerial-discretion-grant-special-cases.html

The Canadian citizenship can be granted by the immigration minister (discretionary grant) for people who served Canada exceptionally, without the usual conditions. That could apply to people with extraordinary skills, or, say, someone who saves many Canadian lives during a terrorist attack.

This answer being out of the way, since it probably doesn't apply to anyone reading this, well, the only path left is the PR application, then then citizenship. Others answered already.

Faster than applying for PR through EE or whatnot, find a Canadian, get married and sponsored for PR. Very quick from US. Then wait three years and apply for citizenship.

One little problem

Proof of relationship :)

Another question, what is reason to suggest half legal way?

There is nothing F wrong in him to come to country, contribute to economy and culture and then get citizenship

Also, why does he need citizenship if he is worthless for Canada?

OP is a troll trying to get people to DM him - see his other messages - possibly to get your IP address. Stop feeding the troll.

I've been around on this forum long enough to see inquiries from people thinking their current nationality (not just from those south of the border) bestows upon them a fast track to immigrating to Canada/becoming a Canadian citizen. I simply figured OP's question was in that same vein.
