I am from mexico, I went to Canada in 2013 under the International experience Canada program, I met my girlfriend a little over a month before I left, I have been dating her for over a year, we were together a little over a month in Canada, then I went back to mexico to finish university however we kept our relationship through facebook, skype, what's app and stuff, she has come to mexico to visit me twice and we want to apply for common law partner sponsorship program inland (which according to me is the one within Canada) can we apply yet if I came to canada as tourist even though we haven't "lived together" for a year but by the time they actually look at our application it will have been a year or almost a year living together?

No. You will need to live together continuously for a year BEFORE submitting the app. If you apply before you are actually common-law, your app will be refused.

what about as a "conjugal" couple - i.e or her sponsoring me "overseas"?

You don't have a chance as conjugal. There is absolutely nothing preventing you guys from getting married or from her from going to Mexico to live with you for a year to become common-law.

Canuck is right.

You have no way of skipping the line. You must live with her 1 year.... or get married....

Only two choices.
