Can I sponsor my common-law patner in my first 5 year?

[dreamon2019]

I see a lot of posts said if a person wants to sponsor his/her common-law partner, s/he has to meet the PR obligation which may mean stayed 730 days in the past rolling 5 year.
But I cannot find related information in the website:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ship/spouse-partner-children/eligibility.html

Here's what listed:
Who is eligible to sponsor their spouse, partner or child

You’re a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act

• If you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when the persons you want to sponsor become permanent residents.
• You can’t sponsor someone if you’re a permanent resident living outside Canada.

Who can’t sponsor their spouse, partner or child

You can’t sponsor your spouse, partner or child if:

• your permanent residence application is still in process
  • You must have permanent resident status at the time you submit your sponsorship application.

I am a permanent resident, I have PR status, but I still in my first 5 year and I haven't stayed for 730 days yet, can I sponsor my common-law partner and where I can find the rule?

Last questions, it seems the sponsor application can only by mail? Is there a online way?

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter if you are within your first five years. What matters is the residency requirement. Have you been outside of Canada for a total of more than I thee years since becoming a PR? If not then you are good to sponsor. Note that you must be living in Canada to do so.

There is no online application. Mail in only.

Thanks for your reply.
No, I went out of Canada for about 2.5 years and re-entered Canada weeks before, but I haven't stay 730 days yet.
Can I sponsor my common law partner under this situation?
Thanks again.
