Common-law partner arriving in Canada

[rogi2018]

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding the immigration process when a common-law partnership is involved.
I am applying to get a work permit (I'm Italian, have already an offer letter for a job in Quebec, lmia exempt). I'm requesting an open work permit for my common-law partner (she's Spanish). The statutory declaration that has been already authenticated by a notary in the UK (where we live).

My questions are:

1. Once obtained the work permits (if everything goes fine), can we arrive in Canada in different dates (she will reach me a couple of months later)? Do we need to cross to border together?
2. If 1. is affirmative, could the statutory declaration of common-law be affected somehow?
3. If 1. is affirmative, do I have to specify that my partner will reach me later than my arrival into the country, somewhere in the application?
4. If 1. is negative, can she get into Canada as a visitor and apply for an open work permit inside, using the same declaration of common law?
5. If 1. is negative, do I need to fly back and pick her up so she can get the country?

I hope someone can clarify my doubts.

Thanks

I have been reading that the common-law/spouse can arrive in Canada at a later date than the principal applicant (after he arrived).

A simple question:

can we apply together, at the same time (two IMM1295 forms + all the other forms needed uploaded on my account, same application), or she has to start a different application once my work permit has been approved?

Thanks
