Does my girlfriend qualify for conjugal sponsorship?

[djnbel]

Let me start by saying that I am a dual citizen of Canada and the United Kingdom.

I moved to the UK Feb. of 2018 to try and work here and to be with my girlfriend of 2 years, who was born and raised in the UK. My job hasn’t quite worked out and I’ve had a job offer back in Canada, so I’m looking to move back.

We’ve recently discovered the family sponsorship program and since we’re neither married nor in a common law relationship, figured that conjugal sponsorship was the way to get her into Canada. However when we downloaded the application one of the requirements was providing a written statement as to why we can’t marry or live together.

There’s no reason we couldn’t live together in the UK because of my dual citizenship. So does me being a dual citizen and being able to live with her here (even though we don’t currently live together) disqualify her from being sponsored as my conjugal partner?

You don't qualify for conjugal because you face no legal or immigration barriers to establishing common law or marrying. It's the fact that nothing prevents you from marrying or becoming common law that nullifies your ability to apply for conjugal. You will either need to marry or establish common law to apply.
