Also, since I said I'm extending for common law, in the explanation letter I let them know I would be going into her lease soon and utilities. Was this bad to say? Does it make it sound like I'm trying to live here? I sent the extension for a year

it's perfectly fine. many people apply for extensions to prove commonlaw and submit proof about their relationship . stop obsessing. your extension has been submitted, it is now out of your hands. PR applicants are rarely denied extensions.

I am not a PR applicant yet but I'm shooting for it

extensions are also very rarely denied for those seeking commonlaw status to apply for pr.
 
It'll be fine! Actually, it will be a lot easier to have a shared lease and utilities once it comes time to sumbit your PR application.
