Hi guys, as almost everyone here, I am seeking just some advice.
I have a Canadian citizen common-law partner (we do have a certificate from our province), we live together since November 2023 in Canada. I initially came on IEC, had open work permit, tried to extend that stay, but got refused.
Because we are common-law, I am applying for PR, I now have all the documents, but I also am currently out of status in the 90-day period to restore my status, I want to try to go for a visitor record explaining that I am awaiting for PR, that I have a common-law partner that can support me during the stay, as I cannot work at the moment.
Is this the proper way? Does anyone have experience whether the visitor record gets approved? How much funds do we have to have? I also know I might get the AIP from PR sooner, but I want to try to restore my status so I am not out of status for a long period of time.
Any advise is welcome, thank you!
