Topic: Can my Boyfriend come to Canada? - Common Law?

kalencritchley

Hello,

I am a Canadian Citizen, that is getting my teaching degree in South Dakota.

I met my boyfriend my first year of university. We will both graduate in May 2019 after five years of school. I plan to return to Canada. I am confused on the permanent resident process.

Can my boyfriend come back to Canada with me, then go through the process of permanent resident, while living with me?

Or does he need to be a permanent resident before entering Canada. I am not sure if we would be eligible as common law either?

We have been dating for 3.5 years and have lived to get this past year.

I went home for the summer (Canada) to work for 2.5 months but we both still payed for our apartment, and he lived in it for those two months while I was working back in Canada. I do not know if that would affect common law status?
