Valid reasons to extend your stay
- Thread starter happilyfreckled

If I sign a 1-year lease with my boyfriend and tell them I need to stay in order to gain common-law status, that should do it, right?
I also have extended family here in Canada.... they are my mom's cousins. Should I ask them to write a letter stating that we would like to get to know each other better?
Which reason would be more valid?

Scylla said the opposite information that you are saying about reasons to extend a visitor visa... Scylla said, "if you are living with your boyfriend and attempting to live together for a full year to become common law so that he can sponsor you for PR - this is a valid reason."
I'm not sure if you are wrong, if Scylla is wrong, or if I am misunderstanding one of you.

Scylla is correct. Becoming common-law in order to apply for sponsorship is a perfectly valid reason to ask for an extension. Provided you have sufficient proof of finances to support your extended stay, you should have no issues.

Thank you! Do you know if we can live together in a house with two other roommates? As long as we both sign the lease and get a joint bank account, then when I apply for an extension they will see that we are, indeed, going for common-law status, right?
To be honest, I am not ready to live with him. Do you think I can extend my stay as a visitor by just telling them that I want to spend more time with him even though we are NOT on the same lease, as well as spending time with my extended family members?

You can put that you want to spend more time with your boyfriend and family.
My wife is here on visitor visa and legally she can stay here only for 6 months ... i have applied for sponsorship and open work visa inside Canada and its under process i didnt get the AOR yet but i am thinking to extend her stay here in Canada as a visitor ... based on my situation What are the valid reasons to extend your stay as a visitor?
I have applied for Parents Sponsorship this year and waiting for a file number.
My parents came to Canada with visitor status(South Korean, 6months can be stayed only approval of eTA) and stayed almost 5months. Now they need to extend their visitor visa.
They are planning to stay with me until they receive the PR.
What should be the good reason? Can they honestly say they will stay until the status change? Or just mention traveling?

Hi.. I have the same question....need a valid reason to extend my parents stay for another 6months... please suggest
The truth is I am pregnant and due in a month, they would like to spend more time with the new born and now being winter we could not take them around much. So there are places to visit in the wish list too. But my worry is, one of my friends got her application rejected for her mother as she mentioned she wants her to help her with her pregnancy!!
