I understand a lot of people care a lot about the new Conditional PR law. That states that after PR couple HAS to stay together...
but honestly, is it really important? Isnt that what we all wanted since the beginning? to be together with our loved one? so, if our relationship is real, who care if CIC request 2-5-10-100 years... as long as there isnt violence involve... i think being ask to stay with the one we love is not such a big problem

I don't think that is correct. The law itself, which is what the CIC website is based of off, says:
"(b) at the time the sponsor filed a sponsorship application with respect to the person under paragraph 130(1)(c) had been the spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner of the sponsor, as applicable, for a period of two years or less; and"
So, you would have to be in a relationship that could have qualified you for immigration for two years prior to submitting the application. For example, if you were living together and had shared accounts for five years, then got married and applied 1 month later, the condition would not apply to you. If, on the other hand, you were dating for 10 years, but never married or lived together or shared finances or had a kid together, then got married a year and a half before you applied, then the condition would apply to you.
I hope that makes sense.
Perhaps this might help to understand better?

What is conditional permanent residence?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has introduced amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (the Regulations) which apply to spouses, common-law or conjugal partners in a relationship of two years or less with their sponsor and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application. The sponsored spouse must cohabit in a legitimate relationship with their sponsor for two years from the day on which they receive their permanent resident status in Canada. If they do not remain in the relationship, the sponsored spouse's status could be revoked. The conditional measure only applies to permanent residents whose applications are received on or after October 25, 2012—the day that the amendments came into force........
