Venezuelan going to Vancouver.

[freshaspeppermint]

Me and my girlfriend are from venezuela but she's italian, her father and step-mother are living in Vancouver and she will be moving there next month, we have been dating for a bit more than a year so far.

So my plan is to get a Study Visa, probably a language course (I already speak English) and move to Vancouver for at least a year. When I got there I'd like to work and establish myself.

We've also talk about getting married once we are there. Now I've been reading about Inland vs Outland Common-Law Spousal Sponsorship and though Inland is a way slower process than the Outland, I think it has it advantages.
So these are my doubts

- As I understood, right now there's a pilot project that grant Work Visa to certain people who are waiting on the Inland Common-Law Spousal answer, wouldn't the fact that I will be on my Study Visa affect my possibilities to get on this project?
- I read that if you apply for a Inland Common-Law Spousal Sponsorship your stay will extend until they give you an answer about the process. Is this true? There's something else I should know?
Thanks for your help, and sorry about my English
