If I have been living with my partner for 8 months but the rest are on implied status, does this not qualify us to be common law?
If not then what should I do?

We have been physically living together for 10 months now.
So no matter if I am on implied status or not? It still counts as a cohabited relationship for a year.

Implied status and being in a common-law relationship are two very seperate things. One has nothing to do with the other.
You have to have been living with your partner for 12 months or more to qualify as their common-law partner. Where you do this does not matter, not does it matter what your status was at the time. As long as you were living together and can prove it, it's good.

You have two months to go. Try to comply with and keep your legal status (temporary resident status) in Canada. Even though it's not a mandatory condition to be eligible for your immigration program, it will benefit you in a long run.
Minimum has to be 12months or else you will find yourself being rejected. What I would do is to extend my stay (save travel
expenses) don't quote my statement but for me I would do the darnest thing to keep our relationship together and stronger.
