No, we did not. We were living with our parents. I was only 20 yrs old when I moved to Canada and was studying in the Philippines at that time.

When my partner gets approved for a TRV, then we can get married here?

If the partner gets approved, then you can get married in Canada and apply as a married couple.

If the TRV is denied, then you'd qualify for conjugal as you can't get married in the Philippines and the partner can't get to Canada in order to get married.

So you need to apply for a TRV either way.

Should my partner states in the TRV application that we are planning to get married in Canada?
And when denied, that is only when I can sponsor my partner through conjugal sponsorship?

No, your partner should not state that.
 
If getting married in Canada is only option for us why should we not indicate it in my partner’s TRV application?

Higher chance of refusal, as IRCC will know your partner likely intends to stay permanently and therefore is not a genuine visitor.
 
Can we make my partner’s TRV application weak, so it will get denied and then we can be qualified to apply conjugal? Could that be an option for us?

Hope to hear from you guys. Thank you!

That would be pretty stupid. Conjugal apps are generally more difficult, take longer and have less chance of approval. It would be far easier for you if your partner gets approved for a TRV and you can marry or become common-law in Canada.

1. You are posting in the wrong section of the forum. You need to ask these kinds of questions in the Express Entry section.
2. The exam only covers the person who wrote it. The primary applicant needs to write a language exam.

Conjugal is difficult to prove and applies in a very small percentage of cases. People often confuse conjugal with common law or even just go by the general definition of the word 'conjugal' without looking into the actual IRCC definition of it, then they proceed to apply when they obviously don't qualify, get denied, etc.
