I am here in Canada with a visitors visa. I am living in my sponsors home here in Canada. I have already extended my stay for 6 months and my 2nd extension expired already last Aug. 14, but i have filed my second extension already, so i am now in an implied status. While here in Canada i became intimately related to my sponsor who is divorced, but when i entered Canada my status is married. I am from the Philippines. My sponsor wants me to stay here in Canada permanently, am i eligible for a common law visa?, how am i going to do that?thanks! its great to know that you have somebody to consult to your problems.

I am not sure about this but your "sponsor" can probably SPONSOR you (pardon the redundancy for lack of a better term) as a common law. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp Bear in mind though that legally you are still married in the Philippines and divorce is not recognized there. You can have your marriage annulled but it is a long and tedious process.
