Extending visitor record?

[Elanigana]

My visitor record isn't up until march, but I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row..

I am hoping to extend for a year to allow for us to establish common law.

First, how do I go about doing that?

Second, anything I should know? Tips, tricks and pointers please!

We've dated for two years and will be going for PR as soon as we can. We have 2 kids and I'm just hoping not to get kicked out in the process.

For the record, I'm a US citizen, he's Canadian.

Thanks in advance.

Normal extension would do. You have a genuine reason to extend.

What do you mean, "normal extension." I apply in the same place for a visitor visa??

There is no such thing as "visitor visa".

Use the tool: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp

Chose "Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor or Temporary Resident " when prompted.
