All the information i have found gives information on a Canadian citizen sponsoring or marrying a person from abroad, however my boyfriend is a foreign worker in Canada but his working visa will expire in about 5 months. I am a Canadian Citizen and we want him to stay here, but as we have not been common law for 12 months, there doesnt seem to be any way for him to stay here. I looked at all the possibilities through employement, but those don't apply to us either.
We have been discussing getting married so that he can stay here...this is somethign we would do anyway, but may now need to do sooner so that he can stay.
Does anyone know if there is any special paperwork that will need to be filled out?
Does the marriage have to happen before his visa expires? and if so, how long before?
Are there any alternatives that i am just not seeing??
