I’ve been with my American partner for a little over two years. She visits me frequently here in Canada, and although we originally planned to move to America, recent events have had us consider otherwise. She was going to visit originally for a few months starting early March before covid blew up, and we arrived in Canada from America March 3rd and declared she would be here with me until the end of July. In doing research to try and extend her stay via visitor record extension, I saw that other americans had applied and been accepted for 6 month extensions using the reason of wanting to become common law and begin a common law sponsorship. Is this actually possible? It seems too easy to me to be true, outside of all the future costs.
There are times in which we do plan to travel to America, and we did that a lot last year (vacations and small trips across the border) and there were no issues getting her back into Canada. I understand that while on implied status, she would not be able to leave Canada in case of reentry denial, but once her visitor record is extended would it be okay to leave and come back? I assume it would go back to normal, with entry into canada being conditional. Regardless she of course doesn’t want to go back to America right now.
