I did this. It took a couple of years and reams of paperwork. We were also lucky in that we had extensive IRC conversations while we were apart and records and plane tickets from all the visits we had with each other, plus heaps of photos and the wedding guest list etc. It took a crazy long time to get all the poo poo together, but once we did, it was fairly quick to be approved (I am a New Zealand citizen, may differ for non-commonwealth countries). My (now-ex, lol) husband took care of most of the paperwork, but I had to get medical checks and write a statement about our relationship. While waiting for my residency I was not entitled to work or to receive subsidized medical care, so the Canadian partner should be able to support a non-working spouse. As a resident I am also not entitled to welfare, but am entitled to provincial medical coverage in BC. Although I am sad that the marriage didn't work out in the end, I am glad to have Canadian residency as Canada is a really cool country and I would like to move back and live there.
