Him staying with her overseas (for a while) is a way of dealing with the issue (and given that she's there for work, money wouldn't be an issue).

I would say your theory seems pretty reasonable from where I sit, anyway.

Spoiler for Volume 11:

A Canvas 2 ending hmmm. Well Kyousuke is better than the MC from that anime so I can probably like this ending. Also, Kirino and her leaving to model overseas might have some relation to her parents. I feel as though she's a message to them like "I will do what I really want to do, and no one but Kyousuke can stop me." Anyways I do feel that this leaving for modeling will be the event that helps convince Kyousuke's parent(Daisuke) to accept them if he really does go for Kirino.
