Hi! I am currently in a long distance relationship with my American boyfriend (I am a Canadian citizen), and he has been visiting me here in Canada. I want to sponsor him, but obviously we cannot do common-law since it is hard for us to "live together" for 12 months straight with him just visiting me since there is a 6 month cap.
I have 2 questions that I would love if anyone can answer:
1) If he stayed here for 6 months, then applies to extend his visitor visa for another 6 months so we be in common-law relationship would that work? or would immigration not accept that? (his family sends him money to support him while he is visiting here)
2) If he was here visiting me in Canada for 3 months, then left for a month to America and is now back in Canada. Does the 6 months restart? or does he just have 3 months remaining now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
