If me and my Canadian partner want to apply through the outland family class sponsorship, and I live in Denmark, where am I supposed to send all the applications to?

It also says "You must list all family members in your application for permanent residence, whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not." Does that mean I have to provide information of all my family members? even if they aren't ever going to live in Canada with me?

It says there are two parts, where part one is the sponsorship forms, and part two is immigration forms, are we supposed to send both parts at the same time?
When/if the application is completed, will I be able to work in Canada while I live there, or will there be additional paperwork?

Family members refers only to the Principal Applicant and their dependents included in the app.

The entire application must be sent together.

When the app is approved, you will need to land as a PR. You can then obtain a SIN and start working.

Oh, thank you!
What does it mean to land as a PR?
About the proving that our relationship is genuine, would skype calls, money transfers, tickets to prove that i visited, pictures and some of our messages be good enough?
I'm not sure I want to send ALL of our conversations because we have had our arguments, and I'm scared it might make them think it isn't genuine?
I read somewhere that being married helps a lot, since you have pictures and the certificate itself? maybe letters from family members explaining how they know the relationship is genuine?

FYI - you can only be sponsored if you are married or common law. Common law means that you have physically lived together for at least one year continuously. You also need to be able to prove that you have lived together for a full year. Have you live together for a year? What evidence do you have to prove this?

I plan to marry him, this is all just to get information for the future :)
But I would still like to know if the information to prove our relationship is enough? Like, as I said, I'm not sure I wanna share ALL of our conversations because some of it is somewhat sexual, and we have had our arguments, and I'm unsure if they'd think our relationship is less genuine because of it.

You can just include a small selection of chats from your time apart.

If you are living together, you should save proof of this to include in the application. You will need this proof if you apply common-law; if you get married, then this proof will help to show that your relationship is genuine.

Oh okay! Thank you!

Could you explain how long it is possible to stay in Canada as a visitor? Is it 6 months in a year, or 6 months per. trip?

People who do not need a visa to visit Canada are usually given 6 months. The border agent could give the person less, however. In any case, about one month before the time expires, the person can apply to extend his or her stay. So it is not only 6 months in a year. People can stay one year or longer, simply by extending their stay.
