  i am 18 years of age and i am an american citizen... however, the love of my life is a canadian citizen and she is also 18 years of age... the times i´ve been in canada i fell in love with the country itself... but just being separated from her is tearing me apart every waking moment... we plan to spend the rest of our lives together, and i am desperately trying anything i possibly can to be with her as soon as possible and every day of my life, only in that can i truly be happy... so please, if anyone can help me we would be forever grateful

the Canadian must be 18. You either need to be married or living common law for a period of 1 year and must show ties that would confirm your co-habitation.

There is a conjugal class but I have yet to hear of anyone having success in that classification - especially when your travel and sexual orientation is not a legal obstacle.

once you meet the age and status requirements, you are going to have to prove to CIC that your relationship is genuine and enduring. I will warn you right now... at 18, CIC is going to give you a tough time.

perhaps look into a work permit that would get you in to Canada on yoru own merits and avoid the drama that a family class sponsorship will likely bring upon your life.

As you are 18, you can also apply for SWAP. That will get you an open work permit for 6 months (if you qualify).
