Passport Req..
05-04-2016
Good day.. I am from Brazil and currently hold a multiple-entry visa. I am reaching the 6 months limits of stay as I only had my passport stamped. Me and my fiance would like to stay longer (6 months longer) as we came to visit my brother (who is a canadian citizen).
We have some options, but I would like to know which one offers less risks of deny.
We can either:

-apply for an extension (my dad and brother are affording both of us here, no problem proving that) - but is traveling around and visiting a good motive to extension?
-leave the country to the USA (we also hold the USA multiple-entry visa) and return?

If we choose option 2, we also have our LMO process going on. Should we present that or avoid showing our intention to work here in the future?

Thank you
