question about complicated spouse sponsorship

[Orcity]

I met my girlfriend online 6 months ago. I live in USA, She lives in Canada. I recently met her for the first time and we love eachother, she wants to sponsor my perminant residency so that we can be togeather, we will get married if we necessary, and we have phone documentation that we talked on skype for 4-6 hours every night for the entire time, also over 60 thousand facebook messages back and fourth. I recently got her with the border patrol telling me that I did not have enough evidence to stay, and he was about to process inadmissible and send me home until he talked to my girlfriend in person. We got through that and they gave me a visitors slip saying that I have to return to USA in a week from now, they said I have to hand it in to them when I leave. I will leave if I absolutely have to, I have a plane ticket, but I was wondering if there was anyway I could legally stay with my girlfriend without leaving. What happens if I dont leave, will they come after me? We are filing the PR and sponsor documents asap. the official website says that I do not have to be legal for her to sponsor me.

honestly I do not ever want to deal with border patrol again in my life, they held me for 4 hours, had a dog sniff me, patted me down like a criminal, yelled at me and accused me of having extacy with no proof when I have never touched that in my life, they finally let that go after they scared the crap out of me when they couldn't find anything. They even broke a few of my belongings in searching for it. I really just want to be with her and not deal with this fake imaginary line that keeps us enslaved and separated.

First things first... you need to get married before she can sponsor you for PR.

You won't qualify as common-law until you've lived together 12 consecutive months, and you most likely won't qualify for conjugal since there is no barrier to get married.

There is nothing you can do within the next week, so you should leave like they told you to. Overstaying will just make it more difficult when you actually apply for your PR. You can try to re-enter Canada a little bit later, and this time bring as much proof as possible of ties to USA.

While American-Canadian couples get more leeway from CIC than others, if you describe your relationship in your application like you did here, I would be suspicious if I was a CIC officer. Fall in love after first meeting and wanting to get married that quick? Make sure you spend more time together and wait a bit.

If they ask you to leave, you better leave on your own. If they have to come after you with deportation orders, that is a major negative mark on your record and will hurt your sponsorship application.

I'm curious why they have you such a hard time at the border in the first place. Most americans do not have any issue crossing into Canada. What did you do/say to make them suspicious?
