I´m in a bit of a situation.
My significant other and I are from different countries - he lives in the USA, and I live in Canada.
After much discussion, it has been decided that he would like to live here permanently. He has only been here for short visits here and there. We have no plans to get married right now so sponsoring him that way is out of the question.
I read that it was possible to sponsor someone as a permanent resident if they are your common-law partner, but I´m not sure how this is possible. I was told that he could apply for a visitor visa (does he even need one of those?) for 6 months, go home for a week or so, re-apply for another one, then that´s 12 months and we´re common law, and I can apply to sponsor him from there. Is this true? Or is there a better way to go about this?
I don´t think he can count as a skilled worker, and he isn´t a student, so I´m not sure of a way to get him here long enough for us to be common law partners.
Also, could he apply for a work permit under a visitor visa?
Any help and/or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Is he a US citizen? If so, he does not need a visitor visa to enter Canada. What is your status in Canada? Are you a Canadian citizen?
