My bf came to Canada on September 2016 and we applied for extensions and got it till April 5 2018. We tried to apply again but got refused. After how long should he try to re enter?
I cant sponsor as Im going tru divorce and dont really wanna move to UK as my son is autistic and doesnt like changes. Also Im here all by myself. My family lives in UK.

Given how long he has been in Canada and the fact he was refused an extension, recommend he stay outside of Canada for six months or so before he tries to re-enter.

And you can certainly sponsor him as your common law partner provided you have lived together for at least one year continuously. The fact you are not yet divorced isn't a problem.

I cant also sponsor him as I have been sponsored 3 years ago...
We tried applying for skilled worker but lawyer said theres not a chance as he didnt score many points.
Also we tried applying for work permit but its hard to find employers who is willing to go tru LMIA. Hes a butcher.
Im hopeless :(
Also I cant even work and pay bills as i dont have no one to watch my son.

As I'm sure that you are already aware, you really don't have many options in that case. You have another 2 years left to run on the sponsorship bar. There is no realistic way to lift this. Do you have the right to enter and remain in the UK? Does your son?

Is your boyfriend eligible to apply for a working holiday visa (IEC)? That might be a possibility.
Alternatively, depending on his abilities, a temporary foreign worker visa, if he can find (possibly with your local help) an employer who is willing to go through the LMIA process..

I would reconsider moving back to the UK. If you're unable to work because you can't find or afford child care you won't be able to sponsor your common law spouse.

Yes I can live u UK, but the thing is I dont really wanna move as my son is 4 years old and going tru therapies that I been waiting for about 2 years.

We want to try applying for holiday visa.

I know I dont have much choice and to wait for him for 6 months is very long time without no income. We r thinking about trying to come back end of this month. If he is not going to be able to come back than I have no choice and move back :(

There is a lot of competition for the IEC spots for UK citizens just to warn you so not guaranteed. Also warning you that your bf shouldn't have been watching your son because he is technically working while being on a visitor visa so you shouldn't mention that as a reason why he needs to come to Canada.
