You can place in your application that he is your common law partner so that you can use your maiden name on your application.

Your common law partner should be listed in your application as your common law partner.  If you marry him, you should let CIC know once you have the marriage certificate that you have married.  That doesn't mean you have to change your name though.  In Canada, you are allowed to marry and keep your name.  It is up to you if you want to change.
