hello,
I would like to bring my partner to Canada, who is swedish and is 36 and doesn’t qualify for a holiday visa due to age.
I have lived over a year with him but not consecutively. Over the past 3 years I have spent periods of just under 6 months and he has come to Canada on and off as well.
I wonder if it’s possible to get him a temporary work visa under common law status so that he may come right away and then once here and he finds a job maybe it can be extended and in parallel apply for permanent residency via common law status after 1 year of living together here in Canada.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Are visas activated once you arrive and then the countdown begins or when issued?
