Mexican gf can’t enter Canada with no date in sight of when that can change. Stay together or walk away?

I’ll try to keep this brief. I am 33M from Canada. 4 years ago I matched (tinder) with a Mexican girl while living down there for the winter. Due to finances and her home city being far from where I was staying, we never met despire connecting virtually.

Last December I reached out and we began talking nonstop. I went down to her city and lived with her for 2 months. Things with her were great.

I came back to Canada and assumed her visa would come quickly. It was rejected due to Canada not taking Mexicans in even for a one week travel visa. The reason being, like most of them being rejected, that there was not sufficient evidence she would return to Mexico.

She applied again and finally after 3.5 months she got rejected again.

We of course talk everyday but it’s not the same over the phone as I’m very much a physical person.

I don’t want to sound conceded, but on the “dating market” I have options. But I really like this one. The challenge is now I don’t know if this can work long distance and if I did decide to take a week off every month to go see her in Mexico, other aspects of my life would be sacrificed.

I want to be a family man. I want a dog. Kids. White picket fence.

Before anyone asks, I have reached out to a couple immigration lawyers but from what I’ve read we need to have been together for at least a year before we can even entertain starting this process. And results don’t come quick.

Here’s my question: wtf do I do here? Please, Reddit, give me some advice.

TLDR: after spending 2 great months together, I left Mexico and she can’t come to Canada. Do you fight through long distance to eventually reunite or part ways?
