My common law partner is from the states and is planning on coming to visit within the 6 months length he is allowed here. Before the 6 months length we are planning on applying for visitor extension with the intent to become common law sponsorship. Considering, we have to live together for 12 consecutive months before applying and have never lived together so through advise on this website they told us to get visitor extension and the reason would be common law. Do you think he would get refused for this reason? When we do apply? A month before the 6 months or ?what should we say and how do we go about it? We really need help with this process. We know that his intent is not to move here and say he’s here to fulfil the 12 months because he would be sent back to the states. He are aware that his intentions are to visit and possibly apply for visitor extension.
what are your thoughts and how do we go about this? He is coming here on the 11th of this month and we don’t know if he needs to purchase a return flight now to avoid questioning and refusal in Calgary where immigration officers tend to ask questions as he came here before and that is where they asked him questions on why he’s visiting Canada.
Also, if and when he gets his passport stamped with a return date does that mean he can’t apply before or after the return date stamped on his passport? What if he applies a day or two before the return date, is he legally allowed to stay in Canada until his application has been reviewed even though the return date is on his passport?
