Help with Common-Law Partner

Our situation is as of below.
My GF is applying as Immigrant for Canada and we are not sure if she can apply me as "Common-Law Partner".
I have met her around September 2009 back in Phil and she moved to work in Singapore around October 2009.
When i visited her around March 2010,she got pregnant so she resigned and went back home to Phil around August 2010 up to present to give birth and take care of our Baby. I moved to work in Malaysia around July 2010 to support them financially.
Now, for this case can she apply me as "Common-Law Partner" ? Please do advise.

You can apply as common law partners only if you have lived together for 12 months or more.

But we already have a 2 months old child. . .
and based from
cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG74.asp
Refers to a person who is living in a conjugal relationship with another person (opposite or same sex), and has done so continuously for a period of at least one year. A conjugal relationship exists when there is a significant degree of commitment between two people. Common-law partners must attach any documents that show they are in a committed and genuine relationship, for example evidence that they share the same home, that they support each other financially and emotionally,
that they have had children together
,
or that they present themselves in public as a couple
.
Common-law partners who are unable to live together or appear in public together because of legal or cultural restrictions in their home country may still qualify and should be included on the application. Common-law partners that meet the conditions outlined above but who have been separated for reasons beyond their control (for example, civil war or armed conflict) may qualify and should be included on the application.

so I'm still a little confused

Conjugal partners are not the same as common law partners. Conjugal partners can be sponsored for PR by a person who is already a PR but as far as I know, you can not include a conjugal partner in an immigration application. I suppose she could list you as a common law on her application, give her story and see if it flies.
