Hey,
I have been on my visitor visa for 9 months ... My boyfriend and I were planning on getting our sponsorship application in at the beginning of my visitor visa, but he did not find work for 8 months and so we are only now getting the application in! (we were told it would be a stronger application if he had full time, permanent employment).
My question is, should I apply for another 12 month visitor visa? What is the likelihood that they will extend my visitor visa, as I have only come across people who have had 6 or 12 months so I am worried that they will decline it? But I will have my PR application in by then, so Im hoping it will get extended, no questions asked?!
Or would a better option be to flagpole? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Just a bit of our back story.. I am English, 23 no children and he is a Canadian Citizen, we met on my first working holiday visa, i came back on my second holiday visa after a year long, long distance relationship, we have been together for 4 years, lived together in Canada for 2 consecutive years!
