And you cannot work in Canada. If you want to work in Canada, then you MUST get a work visa. You cannot work on a visitor visa. Official Visa/Immigration website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ Good luck! My hubby is Canadian, I am American, we met online also, and are living in Canada. :) Others apply for a visitor visa to stay for up to a year, or a work visa (if you plan on getting a job). They aren't hard to get, and I think your BF can sponsor you. Or don't, and you just don't have to be here legally. Your choice. you can stay as long as you like, I'm sure no Canadian authorities will be knocking down your boyfriends door looking for you, it is just Canada you know. By the way, what are you doing with a Canadian boyfriend anyway???? 6 months as a tourist, you can stay up to 6 months without a visa. According to the Canadian Immigration Office you are allowed to stay in Canada for 3 months without a visa, if you wish to stay longer you'll need a visitors visa which are good for an additional 3 months and must be applied for before you enter the country. Work visas are good for one year, but you have to have a job before you can apply for the visa. Side note; My wife could only stay in Canada for 3 months without a visa...and I'm Canadian.
