UK citizen moving to Canada
Hello,
My fiancee is from Liverpool she is UK Citizen, We about to getting married soon, I want to know if it's possible for us to immigrate to Canada immediately after we getting married?
If she is a UK Citizen she can immigrate to Canada to work and live so can I? Or Do I need to wait for me English passport?
Thank you!

On what basis then, are you thinking of moving to Canada? I am afraid you can't just emigrate because you feel like it. It's not like Europe where UK citizens can (at the moment) move to live/work in other EU countries. There has to be a suitable route.
If you both have British passports and are both under 30, you can apply for a space on the Working Holiday program. Is that possible for you?

Broadly speaking if your wife is eligible to emigrate to Canada then you can accompany her as her spouse without first becoming a British citizen.

Re: UK citizen moving to Canada
A persons citizenship makes no difference in their ability to immigrate to Canada. There is no special treatment for British or any other countries citizens (maybe the French for Quebec).
If she is eligible to immigrate or you are eligible to immigrate ie qualify through express entry for example the other partner can accompany as a spouse.
The only problem I can see is if it looks like the marriage is for the purposes of obtaining PR. the legitimacy of the relationship may be questioned and may need to be proven.
Do you live in the UK with your fiancée?

For the record: there is no preferential/special treatment for the French, or any other nationality, in the Quebec immigration procedure.
