imm 5710e Work History and "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada"

[timep]

Hi there,
My work permit is expiring soon and I am in the process of submitting my online application to extend it. I have just a couple clarification questions on imm 5710e if anyone has any experience:
1) I have 8 items of previous work experience, so too many to fit on one form. I read "If you need more space, print out an additional page of the form, complete this section and submit it with your application" in Guide 5553, but I thought rather than add 3 extra copies of that page it would be better to just make my own table with exactly the same information and put it in the client information section. Can anyone confirm if that's acceptable?
2) Question 2C under Background information asks "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada" - I applied at the border for my initial work permit, but have never applied for an entry visa or eta- is there a distinction between applying to work and applying to enter? Is it safer to put "yes" and mention my initial work permit application?
3) I am in a common law union with a Canadian citizen (we have lived together for over a year), but my partner is in no way sponsoring or involved in my work permit application. I have completed the Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union mentioned in the guide, but im wondering if I should also be including evidence (i.e. leases) with my application?

Thanks very much in advance

1. Follow the instructions and print out the additional pages.

2. Answer yes; when you were at the border you still applied to enter Canada even if you didn't need a TRV or eTA.

3. I don't think you need your lease just to get a work permit, but is there a reason you aren't pursuing PR through spousal/partner sponsorship?

Thanks for the reply!
For clarification on 1: Im applying online, so the use of the word "print" confuses me- I gather that I should take 3 copies of that particular page out of form 5710e and put the rest of my employment history there, but then where should I put them? Im concerned about appending extra pages to the form in case there is some digital validation happening- would you put them there or in the client information section?

for 3, just not quite ready to take that step yet- will probably go that route in the near future
