Hello everyone,

I would like to extend my visitor visa in Canada for another 6 months (hopefully) but I don't know if I should mention that I am living with my common law partner or not.

What you have to know:

I'm a french citizen and presently living in Canada for about 4 months.
My common law partner is a permanent resident (PR) in Canada. We were together for more than a year but in Belgium (outside Canada).
When you are a PR you have to be at least 2 full years within 5 years. Because of her studies in Belgium, she couldn't. She will be only 1.5 years.

I'm afraid that they check the duration of her stay if I mention her in my extend visitor visa.

What do you think? Should I extend my visitor visa as single or as common law partner?

Thank you

Aloys

Hi

Saying single when you are actually common-law is misrepresentation and grounds for refusal and a ban from Canada. Your extension app has zero to do with her PR status.
