Visiting from US

It is my understanding from the research I have done, that I can visit Canada as a US citizen as long as I have a passport for up to six months. Around the time that the six months is about to come to term, I can apply for an extension for the time I am visiting Canada correct?

In addition I am looking to eventually immigrate to Canada, as my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years lives and resides in Ottawa and is a natural borne Canadian citizen. Does anyone have a similar experience that can give some insight as to the process I will be facing to become a citizen and does the time I live with him while visiting count towards time that accumulates for our relationship to be considered common law?

Thank you in advance for any input.

How do you plan to support yourself?

Until you get PR status, which takes 6-18 months or more you will feel like a perpetual visitor that can not work, and without public health care.
