Why is CEC Express Entry Permanent Residency Portal asking for my Non-accompanying Canadian common law partner's information?

I just got ITA and I declared my partner as non-accompany within my express entry profile as well as the PR portal. But now there's a section with "His Name, Unacommpanying PR spouse" with 3 forms. It asks his family information, if he has relatives who are Canadian, and also his travel history. I don't know how this is relevant towards my express entry application but I also can't seem to proceed without entering all this information. Did anyone here have a similar experience, and if so, what did you do about it?

Too many people were declaring their spouse as non-accompanying while they were accompanying. This allows IRCC to determine if actually non-accompanying.

So I need to add my partner's information even if it isn't relevant?
It's asking if he has relatives that are Canadian. Obviously his entire family is Canadian, and I think they will ask for their proof of status in the next step.
They are also asking his travel history and he often visits the US, so it would take a while to compile all this info. Can I leave these fields blank and just submit a LOE later saying that he's a Canadian?
I also saw other threads where they ask for the partner's police certificate and medical....

Did you declare you had a Canadian common law partner from the beginning? If so some of these questions should not have been prompted to be asked.

I didn’t initially, but then realized I messed up and updated my express entry profile and declared my partner. Even when I go back to that application, I see it there. Also submitted a web form to rectify my mistake. But this was around half a year ago.

I’ve seen other threads similar but not sure what they ended up doing
