Wanting to move to Canada...

[JErix]

I've been dating a Canadian citizen since November 2005 (less than one year). I currently live in the US and we take turns going back and forth visiting one another each month. I don't think we technically qualify for a common law or conjugal partner relationship do we?

Can I just move to Canada and live with her for a year, then apply for permanent status? If so, what are the steps to do that? I don't think I need a temporary resident visa since I'm from the States. But, at the same time, I just don't think I can cross the border and tell them I'm moving in with my girlfriend LOL...correct?
