Both scenarios whether common law or married have to prove just the same. Common Law does have more to prove of having a genuine relationship since they are already living together as opposed to spouses spouses living apart. They may have more pics, obviously way more time spent together etc. Both cases have to submit pretty much the same documentation but common law cases should in fact have way more evidence. In both cases, submit documentation of times spent together and when apart, communication logs. Ofcourse spouses one may have less pics as opposed to someone in a common law relationship but subbmitting 100 plus pics does not consttitute a genuine marriage. Additonally, you don't want to overwhelm the VO with all these pics. 30 pics showing key moments should suffice.

You are right :)

You don't need to prove the genuity of your relationship for the sponsor application. Proving that your relationship is genuine and ongoing is part of the PR aplication.

You will send both applications, sponsor and PR, as one package to CPC-M or CPC-V (depending on wheter you are doing inland or outland). Since you are sending both applications as 1 package, you should include all supporting documents, such as pictures, in that package.
So, everything will be included with the sponsor forms. All the supporting documents that you have and the PR application forms.
