I have a LMIA and work permit with my job (Noc Code 7384) in Canada (i'm an australian citizen). My girlfriend has been living with me in Canada while on her working holiday visa.
Her visa will be expiring and I want to know if I will be able to sponsor her so that she can stay in Canada and get a work permit?

Have you lived together continuously for at least one full year?

It has been over a year, however to provide proof in Alberta we have a lease and joint bank account and this isn't currently a full year but will be before her visa expires.

If you can prove you have lived together for at least one full year and are common law, then she can apply for an OWP based on your job/work permit.
