I would try going to this website and looking around. It's Canada’s official source of immigration and citizenship information.

Canada doesn't have a fiance(e) visa, but they have partner visas for un-married or common-law couples. Check that one out. I'm not sure if they've re-posted that info on CIC or not.

Pretty strict regulations on common-law and conjugal partners. Need to be married to be sponsored in this case.

You should not apply as a conjugal partner if:

* you could have lived together but chose not to, indicating that you did not have the level of commitment required of a conjugal relationship (e.g., you did not want to give up a job or a course of study, or your relationship was not yet at the point where you were ready to live together); or

* you are unable to provide evidence of an impediment that prevented you from living together; or

* you are engaged to be married. In this case, you should either apply as a spouse once the marriage has taken place or apply as a common-law partner if you have lived together continuously for at least 12 months.

Excluded relationships

You cannot be sponsored as a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner if:

* you are under 16 years of age;

* you or your sponsor were married to someone else at the time of your marriage;

* you have lived apart from your sponsor for at least one year and either you or your sponsor are the common-law or conjugal partner of another person;

* your sponsor is a permanent resident of Canada or a naturalized Canadian citizen and at the time of his or her application for permanent residence in Canada, you were a family member who was required to be examined to ensure that you met immigration requirements but you were not examined; or

* your sponsor previously sponsored another spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner and three years have not passed since that person became a permanent resident.
