His father was a cod fisher who had visited Saint John's Newfoundland while fishing the Grand Banks and Greeland. He attempted to immigrate in 1953 but was rejected due to his large family. The family eventually succeeded in 1957 when Marques' parents and siblings emigrated while he remained in Portugal in the seminary school at Aveiro. Domingos visited with his family in the summer of 1967. After graduating in 1968 and starting theological studies in Lisbon, Marques, having doubts about his future as a Catholic priest, returned to his family in Toronto in 1968.

He worked several jobs, including as a journalist with "Jornal Portugues" and in the Promotions Department of the Toronto Star before quiting to persue a university degree full-time.

In 1981 he joined the Workers Compensation Board as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, serving fifteen years. In 1992 he published with Manuela Marujo "With Hardened Hands", a more official history of Portuguese Immigration to Canada.
