My boyfriend is from Wales and is in Canada on a 2-year open working Visa. This Visa expires in 6-months and we are looking at his best options for the moment. We've started to collect testing/forms for his Permanent Residency, but are having issue collecting educational documents due to COVID-19. We were originally looking to apply under Express Entry, as he has a valid job offer here in Canada. We were deterred from moving through Spousal Sponsorship because although we've been together for a 1 1/2 years, we've only been living together for just coming on a year.
Anyways, we thought we could buy ourselves another couple of years by extending his work Visa, come to find that you can't extend 'open' work permits with no LMIA. Wondering if anyone knows what our best option may be... Should we apply through an IEC program? He's under 35.
