VerifiedThat is going to be a very tough task. While you can get your residency permit, citizenship is bound to your physical contributions to Canada.
The Citizenship Act, as referencing the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is clear that you need to be a resident for 3 of four years.
The only exception is when the Canadian spouse is abroad with the military or the federal government.
I wish I had better news for you.
