Unfortunately, you cannot automatically gain Canadian citizenship based on marriage (whether same sex or opposite sex).

Your spouse or common law partner must sponsor you to immigrate to Canada first. Like all the other immigrants, you have to reside in Canada for 3 years (1095 days) in order to be able to apply for Canadian citizenship.

That is possible.

When married (in France, marriage is not permitted between same-sex partners): it is possible to obtain French citizenship after having married a French national. You must have been married for at least four years to apply, and been living permanently and lawfully in France during these four years. You are granted a resident card in the meanwhile, until you can obtain (or are denied) French citizenship. French citizenship granted that way may be cancelled if you stop living together. The foreign partner has to justify of his/her assimilation (speaking French, having a minimal knowledge of the French governing system and French society at large - including main laws and lifestyle - working, etc...). The application process can last from six months to one year and a half.

Pacs partners. There is no difference wether you are same-sex partners or not. Obtaining French citizenship is a bit more complicated than when married. It is necessary that you have been living together for five years, before you are allowed to apply. The PACS contract is taken into account when deciding if you will be issued a resident card, but it is not mandatory for the state to issue one. As in marriage, the partner has to justify of his/her assimilation in mainstream French society. The application process will probably last more one year at least.

Yes, sort of. A same-sex marriage is treated the same as any other marriage in Argentina. The spouse of an Argentine citizen is eligible for naturalization after two years of residency in Argentina. Having said that, however, the two-year residency is required of all applicants for naturalization and there is no benefit derived from being married to a citizen.

Yes. Same-sex marriage is treated the same as any other marriage in Sweden. Naturalization is not automatic, however, and an application must be made. The length of time of required residency is reduced if the foreigner is married to a Swedish citizen.
