If your partner is a common0law-partner they are eligible for SOWP if you have a work permit in Canada.
Not sure what your initial question was, if you can report the entire question as one post, it will be helpful.
This was question
I have a question.... is it good to apply for my girl friend now? We are not common law (since we din't live together), how should I proceed in applying for my girl friend? Is marriage the only way?
She lives in India. She doesn't have enough score for FSW. We don't want to waste money by her coming here as a student.
Is there any work visa anyone is aware of for conjugal partners living outside?
She is 23 so she won't loose any points for at least 7 more years, so one option is she increasing her score over there, but that would take very long, another is sponsorship and the last one is student.
I don't know which way to take.
