Hi! I’m 20 and I am from Mexico. I landed in Canada on January of 2016, the original purpose of my visit was to be with my aunt (who is a Canadian citizen) for a few months, she is basically my mother. I came to Canada every year since I was 9 years old.
We decided to start a sponsorship application since we have no other relative who is a Canadian citizen or PR and she has no children and single, she was refused as a sponsor because we have living relatives, anyway my application for PR was sent to Mexico city cause we selected (keep processing regardless of any inelebility) I know I’m gonna be refused cause I have no sponsor but I don’t know what are my odds of becoming a PR appealing.
Since then I’ve been in Canada extending my stay as a visitor, saying that my case is in process,last time I applied for 8 months, it was granted, then I applied for a work permit and it was refused because when they started processing it 3 months already went by and I only have 5 months left.
Last August I started a relationship with a Canadian citizen and we are currently living together, he would sponsor me as a common law partner or if we really have to we’ll marry. The problem is that to be considered common law we need to have been living together for a year and it’s been only 1 month and I don’t know if I’m going to be allowed to stay here another entire year and I really want a work permit, I’ve been unemployed for a year already.
What I need to know is what is my best bet? Should I apply normally for an extension hoping for it to be approved, and then withraw my application and start a new process with my partner on common law? Should I try to appeal? This is all so confusing.
Thank you.
