I'm currently residing in Ontario, with my current boyfriend. Now I moved here to be with him, I've given up everything in Atlanta, where i'm from, to be here, with him. Now to give you guys a background;
I'm 23, unemployed, was employed as a CEO of a home cleaning company, non-skilled trade (apparently scrubbing toilets and dealing with customers isn't a skilled trade according to the Canadian government). I have until the end of February, until my visitor visa expires. I'm not working, I'm basically a housewife. I don't know where to begin with the visa process, what to do, where to turn to for help.

So I'm reaching out to you guys, for help.

A checklist, a "basically you need to do this first, then this, this, this and this" list would be amazing. ;D
Researching on the CIC website, is very confusing, and the differences between everything is overwhelming and I don't know where we fit in, or where to begin. We're looking to be married, or anything that can basically get things started.

I'm crying out for help, and he is too.
I don't know what I'd do without him. And I can't leave his side. And surely can't be on skype all night long again :'(...
 
If you are both committed to each other then why not get married and research spousal sponsorship?
 
He hasn't proposed yet, I'm still waiting on that ;) soon though... lol

You need to be married or officially common-law (lived together for 12 consecutive months), and only then could you think of applying for PR under spousal family class. Without being married or common-law, you'll need to find a way to stay here on your own (through study, work or visitor permit).

As a first step you can apply to extend your visitor visa for at least another 6 months.
