Hello!
Bit of a story here: I'm a US citizen who moved here 3.5 years ago on a study visa. I graduated and received a post-grad work permit that lasts until 2019.
I'm applying for Permanent Residency, and I've submitted my name in the pool at 437 points, so I'm waiting on that. Problem is, I was planning to move my boyfriend up here, a US citizen currently living in California, as soon as possible. We've been together for over one year.
My original plan was to get the PR and then apply to sponsor him as a common-law partner, but I was told that he would not be able to work or anything in Canada. Is that true? Would he even qualify as a common-law partner, as we have never lived together?
My second plan was to include him as a common-law partner on my PR application, but I still don't know if he counts as a common-law partner in that case.
I would appreciate any advice on this! Thank you!
