unfortunately no, theres no chance as we move to Canada by the time were on the relationship and now i want to declare him as my common law. is that feasible to do?
No - it's not feasible at this time. You can't declare him as a common law partner until you have lived together for at least one year continuously.
So what if we have one year continuously lived together back home, can i declare him as common law after i got my permanent status?
If you lived together for a year continuously AFTER you got PR, then it's fine. If you lived together for a year continuously BEFORE you got PR, that's a problem.
Assuming that you lived together for a year afteryou got PR, then you can sponsor him as your common law partner as long as you are living in Canada and as long as you meet the residency requirement.

You already mentioned you were living together three years together PRIOR to you arriving into Canada . This would appear to be problematic
This is what you posted
“yes but we dont have our own house as we live together with his ( my partner) family.”

Actually think they are ok as it seems OP landed in 2015. If the couple were living together for over 1 year before 2015 that would be different. Did you live together for a year before 2015 when you landed?
