Help please! Not sure what to put for this question on application

[christinamh]

Towards the end of the application it asks if you have ever ovestayed in Canada. Right now I have been in Canada for almost 7 months (from USA, allowed to stay 6 months total), however I did apply for a visitation extension to explore my relationship with my common law partner. I am here on "implied status" because I have not heard back yet, which you are allowed to do until you receive a notice of decision. Would that be considered over-staying? I technically haven't overstayed. What should I put?

Anyone? It's the only question I am having difficulty with.

If you applied for the extension before the expiration date you should have no problems and should answer No.

Thank you very much.
