I haven't seen my specific question addressed in the forums, so I hope I'm not repeating a question that's already out there.
I'm an American citizen and my partner is Canadian and living in Canada. We met while she was living in the U.S. and we lived in separate apartments. She recently moved back to Canada for a job. I have a job that allows me to work remotely, but I do have to travel within the U.S. frequently for work.
Can I visit my partner in Canada and live with her for 12 months to establish common-law status and, during that time, travel to the U.S. about 6-10 times a year? My assumption is that this isn't possible because I would at some point be denied re-entry at the border. I realize that I would have to extend my visitor status to stay beyond 6 months and that this would be voided when I leave the country and suspicions would be raised when I try to re-enter.
Our goal is for my partner to sponsor my PR application once we have common-law status. But we would need to live together to make this possible. Any help or advice is appreciated.
