How does a Canadian female go about getting dual citizenship by marrying her DR man?

Also some info from another thread:
If you are getting married in the Dominican Republic, the separate property agreement must be prepared by a Dominican Notary BEFORE the marriage (that?s why it?s called a ?prenuptial? agreement) and handed over to the Civil Registry Officer (?Oficial de Estado Civil?) at the marriage.
I am assuming that you?ll want the agreement to be enforceable in the Dominican Republic. If you don?t care about this but are only interested in its validity in your home country, then you?ll have to consult an attorney from home.
The prenuptial agreement is as simple or as complicated as the future spouses want it to be. A straight separation agreement is a very simple document. It will state in legal terms that whatever a spouse acquired before or during marriage will belong to him/her exclusively and that assets in a spouse?s name belong to that spouse exclusively.
If the spouses do not sign a prenuptial, their assets are governed by the community-property provisions of the Civil Code (Articles 1400 to 1496). Spouses are 50-50 owners of all matrimonial assets. These assets consist of the following:
1) All moveable properties (in essence, everything but real estate) belonging to either spouse at the time of the marriage or acquired by either of them during marriage, even by inheritance or gift unless the testator or donor has expressed otherwise.
2) All income from properties belonging exclusively for whatever reason to either spouse.
3) All immovable properties (real estate) acquired by either spouse during marriage.
To translate this into simple terms, without a ?prenup,? whatever money, stocks, bonds, vehicles, credits, etc. (everything but real estate) you may have on the day of the marriage, is split 50-50 with your spouse when you say ?yes, I do?. If your parents leave you $1,000,000 in their will and they do not expressly or implicitly state that this is for you alone, and not for your spouse, then your spouse will get 50%. (Fifteen years ago, I actually dealt with a case like this involving an American couple living in the DR).
You may ask why this is so. The answer is that we are, I believe, the only country in the world still governed by the original provisions of the Napoleonic Code, which dates from 1804, a time when wealth was almost exclusively ?immovable?, i.e., real estate, and therefore it was not considered of importance that all ?moveables? be part of the matrimonial community. In France, the code was amended a long time ago to include only properties acquired during marriage as community property.
And:
During your marriage, income received from any asset goes into the matrimonial community, no matter whether the asset belongs to just one spouse or to both (Article 1401-2 of the Civil Code). After your demise, the personal asset goes to your heirs and so does the income from that asset.
Real estate acquired by one of the spouses before marriage remains the separate property of that spouse.
one more thing...

I'm missing something
I read the link but I still don't get if there is anything special a girl has to do other than marrying a Dominican. The link says you are eligble if you marry and the next paragraph says if you don't meet the above (being married to a Dominican) this is what you have to do. But, what steps would someone married to a Domincan take. Is it as simple as going to the Ministry or finding a good lawyer and saying I want citizenship or is there something else? It seems, according to the link, there are some rules (such as length of living there, etc) for those not married but it doesn't really state anything if you are married. Are there documents or requirements not listed? I admit, I may just be blind in this case and not reading it correctly. Please, mickey mouse it and spell it out for us that don't know.
Thanks!

Yes there are things you need to do and one of them is to hire a lawyer. May I suggest Fabio Guzman that give free advice on his board.

I believe the only advantage to marrying a Dominican is that you don't need these two requirements
Evidence of solvency such as bank deposits, property titles, vehicle registrations or a work contract;
Notarized letter of guarantee from a Dominican person or corporation or a permanent resident;
But do check with a lawyer.

Nice to see you're still alive and kicking Bill. What part of the world are you in now?

WHOA! First of all Mr DR, you should not say things before you know what you are talking about. I am not a child nor am I in school - I work full time for a great company and I don't need my parents money as I have plenty myself. I was under the impression that no matter what, you should have your parents support and help if/when the time comes.
Short story
Hi Anna/all - out of Iraq and in Dubai, but have been spending a lot of time in one of the world's garden spots: Djibouti [think Haiti, but expensive as hell], on the Horn of Africa. That's what I get for speaking Arabic and French. Anyhow, almost no net connect down there and when you get it, it's 60 US cents a minute. Am trying to weasel my way to Cairo for the long haul.
DR1 still my favorite site....but even after long hiatus it's funny to see that the two principal themes remain the same: love-torn women and women who are love torn.
Hope you and all the other regulars are keeping well and out of trouble. I think of you often.
Best, Bill

What the he-l-l is that supposed to mean????
I've had a long bad day..and this jsut pissed me off..normally I don't respond to idiotic posts like this...but I have had a really grumpy day.
Didn't realize it was a problem to have supportive, kind and caring parents who help you out with things when they can....
And what does school have to do with it? I have finished all the schooling I care to have at the moment. If I want to go back for further college or university..I can do so at the time I choose to.
Maybe it was just something you were lacking as a child and haven't gotten over.

Guy you got some small balls saying that kind of ****...
You make it seem like you know everything about her ....

Next time you wanna say a low blow or something stupid like that think about it twice.... what comes around goes around !
