How can I live in Canada legally since my child is Canadian?

I'm an American. My boyfriend and I had our daughter in December in Canada. Immigration told us that for me to stay we would have to get married. Now, he wants out of our relationship since we can't be common law. He says he wants our child to stay with me. But, how can I legally live and work in Canada for my daughter if she's not 18 and if she can't move to the US?

Answer:
So, as I understand it, you have a child who was born in Canada. You and her father are not married.

"Now, he wants out of our relationship since we can't be common law." --- I translate that to mean ... he doesn't want to marry you officially.

... He wants your daughter to stay with you.

Girl, that dude is walking away from you and your daughter.

Is he Canadian?

Your daughter is entitled to US citizenship through you, her mother. Take the kid back to the states and move on with your life. She will probably be a dual citizen.

Leave the guy in Canada. He is abandoning you, and his 5 month old baby. Everyone will be happier in the end.

By the way, I am terribly sad for you. You can do better than that. Be a good mother to the child, and you know that in the end you did the right thing.

By the way ... where do you guys live? Is it British Columbia? Alberta? ... I ask because if you and him are willing to live near the border, custody issues would be easier to work out.
Laws are meaningless.Just do whatever the hell you want.
Apply for a citizenship or marry him.
Drink in Massive quantities with coke afterwards. The point to life is to get to death.
You will have to get legal papers with his signature on it stating that he approves you to take your child across border lines.
Without this paper, he can at any time charge you with kidnapping your daughter.

My advice is to see a lawyer and make sure you have your butt covered before you take your daughter out of the country.
