in order to be eligible for commonlaw you have to be able to prove you have LIVED TOGETHER for at least 365 continuous days, and CIC requires significant proof your life is combined financially. Since you are unable to live together, your option is to get married and apply as a married couple.

Common law requires that you live together, no excuses. It doesn't matter that you weren't able to live together, there's no way to apply for an exemption by proving that it wasn't possible.
