My husband is here in Canada with me now on a tourist visa, we got married this summer and are applying for outland PR soon (through sao paulo, brazil). I just got a new job in a new city and him and we got an apartment together. His name is on the apartment rental with mine. His 6 month stay in Canada will be up in December but we are applying for an extension of stay, hoping that will work out so he can stay in Canada while we wait for the PR. He is currently working online as an English teacher with a company from Taiwan. The fact that he has signed a lease with me and is working online while in Canada...does this help improve his chances of getting the extension of stay/eventually a PR...or are these things not allowed while only on a tourist visa?
When applying for extension of stay what is a reasonable amount to request?
Also, what are the reasons why they wouldn't grant an extension of stay?
Thank you
