New Zealander to stay longer in Canada

[Aims.smith]

Hi all,

My fiancé and I moved to Canada in August this year and we love it here already, problem is we would like to stay longer but I'm on a New Zealand IEC so I am only permitted a year, however by fiancé is Australian and he can get another 2years. My question is I have heard that because we became common law partners that I should be able to ride off his next visa. Is this true? If so how do I go about it?
I would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Maybe you can post a question in the Foreign Workers section of the forum.

People in this section are applying for Permanent Residency, so you probably won't get much feedback here.
