Applying to Extend visitor visa for my common-law partner, help?

[zergcraft]

Hi guys,

Me and my common law partner applied for Outland Spousal Sponsorship and got AOR1 (and hopefully soon, SA).

Her original visitor visa is due to run out on Oct 5 this year, and we are in the process of trying to extend her (she came around 5 months ago with me as a visitor, so this is her first extension request) visitor visa so she can stay with me until the application is finished processing. She is from a visa exempt country (S. Korea)

Any tips on what reason to give to Canadian immigration? Is it ok for us to say that I (the sponsor) will be providing all financial support for my partner (applicant) during her stay in Canada? And also should we mention that we have a PR application? Will this raise red flags with them?

Thanks for your help guys

It is OK to put as the reason that you want to stay to establish common-law status for immigration purposes. Your financial support of her is good and should be mentioned.
