MQ, thank you for the facts; they are a little more than you've shared before, and I completely sympathize. My father was much like your SO.
I am unsure what is possible as far as allowing you into Canada beyond your six-month visa (plus humanitarian extensions), but if I can help in any way, I would be happy to. I'm not sure what I could do, but if I can, I will. You would make a great addition to the Canadian body politic, and I would be happy to have you as a permanent resident of Canada. As I'm sure most if not all on the Canada forum would.
Sometimes this forum just breaks my heart with its beautiful kindness.
Mq; Unspoken by all of the regular contributors in the Canada section is your bringing a breath of fresh air to a more than often 'agenda driven' section.
We are probably all reading these last few posts of yours with the realization there is far more being left unsaid than the heart rending information you are providing.
We can only hope that those issues bringing undo stress on your life at present in addition to your BF's medical trauma can be resolved without any more of the already unnecessary and stress ridden delays.
It strikes me that there would be probably any number of us thinking it would indeed be a pleasant afternoon spent sitting around picnic tables with our chosen beverage in hand, along with you and 'pre-illness' BF, all taking the mickey out of each other over everything from our age and our lack of hair to our inability to pull on our socks or tie our laces without sitting down.
God speed with all of your immigration concerns, best of wishes for your BF to undergo a miraculous recovery and should you choose Canada as a frequent destination in the future, we are all probably in agreement, Canada will be the better for that.

Not trying to make you cry but sometimes it's good to cry and let it be cathartic because you've been told that you are loved muchly by the crowd here. We all love you and send hugs to you (((( MQ )))).
Here's an O Canada moment I experienced this week.
Without going into the gory details, partner needs a procedure done by the in-home/visiting nurse once a month. Sometimes she hasn't been successful, and a trip to the ER was required to get it done. We couldn't figure out why it was easy to do at the hospital but not at home. After conversations with the nurse, her supervisor, and eventually, a doctor, it was determined that the hospital is using a certain medication that the home nursing staff had no access to.
The other day, with the procedure looming, we were trying to get this medication from local pharmacies, but none carry it. The nurse contacted the palliative care doctor for help. A little while later, the doctor called me from his car to let me know that he is five minutes from the house. He'd picked up the medication from the hospital himself and was dropping it off at the house for use the next day.

Damn commie socialist healthcare.
LOL
The latest premiers meeting in Victoria. Healthcare was front and centre.
All 13 leaders of the provinces and territories are in agreement on healthcare money and the lack of response from the federal government. They aren't happy at the moment.
""Twenty-four months ago, we were collaborating in an unprecedented way," B.C. Premier John Horgan, this year's chair of the Council of the Federation, said Tuesday in Victoria.
"There was unprecedented collaboration and the federal government was right there and we applauded that engagement … and now, eight months later, we're exchanging notes through the media. Where'd the love go? Everything was so fine and then it wasn't.""
