Hello,

I'm currently sponsoring my husband and he is here with me in Canada on a visitor visa. He has a valid eTA that expires in August 2019 but he's been here for over six months. Does he need to apply to extend his stay.. because I think he can only legally stay for six months at a time if I'm not mistaken? I've tried to apply to extend his stay but the government website just takes me around in circles and says that he can apply for permanent residency which we are already doing.
