Common Law Express Entry

[gur5911]

Hello everyone,
I have few questions regarding my express entry application.
My marital status is common-law and my partner is living in Canada on PGWP.
My question is:
If I apply for express entry (CEC), Can I declare my common law non-accompanying? I don't want to take risk of proving common law relationship with limited documents. I am scared if visa officer will trust on relationship or not.

I know it is uncommon to have inland spouse as non- accompanying.
In LOE if I mention, She qualifies for permanent residency in other stream. Is this reason legit ?

If She do same in her profile will it be a problem?

Can anyone please advice me.

Thanks in Advance

FYI - whether you include your common law partner as accompanying or non-accompanying you still have to provide all of the evidence of cohabitation to prove you are common law and have lived together for at least one year continuously. Making your common law partner non-accompanying doesn't change this at all. It's still the same.

Thanks for your reply.

As I have limited evidence to prove the relationship.
I need suggestion:
Should I include her in my application?
OR
I need to file as her being non-accompanying?

I am worried , Can my application be refused based on minimal proofs. ?

(hydro bills addressed to both of us),
Individual bank account statements (same address)
CRA Tax Assessment showing our marital status Common Law
