Hey everyone!
I am a Canadian citizen and my boyfriend of 14 months is an American. He has been living with me since December 10, 2014 and his 6 months visa is about to expire. I was browsing the forums and saw that he may be able to leave Canada, come back, and have those 6 months automatically renewed instead of applying for an extension. Is this correct? If so, that would give him time to go and get his items from storage and put them into a shipping crate to be shipped here and then come back without any heavy baggage. I'd like to note that our ultimate goal is to have me sponsor him for a PR once our one year of living together is up to qualify us for common-law.
However, if we just go the route or applying for an extension, what does he (or I) have to do to prove that I am supporting him while he is living with me since he cannot legally work?
Thank you in advance for the responses, I am looking forward to getting some help from people who maybe have experienced this situation or something similar recently.
