My girlfriend has her Dominican Republic and Spain citizenship. She has been here since Sept 20th, 2024 on an open work permit. Her permit expires now in September. She is pregnant and due October 28th. She cannot get an extended work permit through the company she is currently working for. I am thinking the best course of action is for her to apply for a tourist visa pretty soon so that she can still bet Alberta healthcare benefits. I am wondering if she can apply for another open work permit down the road if she gets a work visa? Also can she get a 6 month tourist visa or a 12 month tourist visa? She is currently living with me. My understanding is that I can't put her as a dependent unless we are married or she has been living common law with me for a year? Is there any way to put her as a dependent if she has lived with me as commonlaw less than a year? With having a baby and all?
Thank you
