Do you have proof of living together for a continuous year in a common law relationship (things like shared finances, being listed on each other’s insurance, etc.)?
Take the government to court. There is still the option to meet in a 3rd country although I instead it is not ideal. You may consider reunification for spouses and dependent children a human right but there is no law or specific time period during which this has to happen. Other countries...
Processing times will get much longer and 8 years is likely. It is pure math. Canada was opened it’s doors and didn’t try to prevent asylum seekers from entering Canada for years and welcomed a large number of refugees at the same time. There is now a very large pool of protected people and...

She will need to apply for a visitor record before the 6 months is up if she has not received her WP to remain in Canada legally. A visitor visa (TRV) is a travel document to enter Canada and as a US citizen she is visa exempt.
Only option is to work towards meeting LICO and then apply but you can’t get married, become common law, have a child, etc. until they have been approved. That would likely mean putting your life on hold for many years.
