That's completely false. You can remain outside of Canada for a few years and still keep your PR status. To keep your PR status, you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 rolling years.
oh no, i never liked the agent anyway. its just that my bf was losing hope, he cant come into Canada under Express Entry cuz he's agent told him that its hard, especially if looking for a Emplyer. that is why he handed this Conjugal Application

Realistically a conjugal app will be a complete waste of your time and money. It is guaranteed to fail, as you face no legal barriers to common-law or marriage.

IRCC can't force you to marry, but if you don't want to get married you must become common-law. Also if you have any plan to marry in the future, you will be seen as fiances which will be another reason for refusal.

Ample wording here: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf
5.25. Characteristics of conjugal relationships
People who are dating or who are thinking about marrying or living together and establishing a common-law relationship are NOT yet in a conjugal relationship

5.45. What is a conjugal partner?
This category was created for exceptional circumstances – for foreign national partners of Canadian or permanent resident sponsors who would ordinarily apply as common-law partners but for the fact that they have not been able to live together continuously for one year, usually because of an immigration impediment. In most cases, the foreign partner is also not able to marry their sponsor and qualify as a spouse

CIC cannot require couples to marry in order to immigrate. However, if they are not married, they must be common-law partners. There is NO provision for fiancé(e)s or “intended common-law partners” in IRPA. If a Canadian and a foreign national can get married or can live together and establish a common-law relationship, this is what they are expected to have done before they submit sponsorship and immigration applications.

As well, for these individuals, marriage is usually not an available option. The conjugal partner category is mainly intended for partners where neither common-law partner status nor marriage is possible, usually because of marital status or sexual orientation (both analogous grounds of discrimination under the Charter), combined with an immigration barrier.

5.46. Can conjugal partners be substitutes for fiancé(e)s?
Canadians and their foreign national fiancé(e)s are expected to be married before the immigration process takes place,
Fiancé(e)s are individuals who intend to marry and intend to establish a conjugal relationship.

5.47. Assessment of conjugal partner relationships
The conjugal-partner applicant should explain why they have not been able to live continuously with their sponsor for at least one year. In most cases, there will be an immigration impediment to continuous cohabitation (e.g., inability to obtain long-stay visas for one another’s country). Noncohabitation for purely personal or economic reasons (i.e., did not want to give up a job or studies) does not normally qualify as a sufficient impediment, but should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants should be able to provide evidence that they have seriously considered living together as common-law partners. For example, they might have explored options for living together in one another’s country, such as work or study permits, how their occupational skills and qualifications would be recognized in their partner’s country, visitor visas, long-term visitor status, etc.

Officers should also inquire whether the couple is planning to marry. If they are planning to marry, then they are fiancés and may not have established a conjugal relationship. Officers should explain that there is no fiancé(e) category in Canada’s immigration legislation, and that the foreign national fiancé(e) must be married to their Canadian sponsor and apply to immigrate as a married spouse.

It's been said several times by the others but I'll say it as well. You have no legal/immigration barriers preventing you from getting married or becoming common-law. A conjugal app has no chance. You are going to throw away a lot of money and likely a few years of your life for nothing.
