My partner and I proved our common-law relationship and she was accepted and we moved to Canada. Since our arrival things have been tough for both of us. I have found out she has unfaithful before we even applied to come to Canada. We both work and make okay money. What is my responsibility if she or I move out and separate. Extremely worried and confused ...
Could our relationship be seen as fraudulent because obviously when we said we would eventually get married I think that she didn´t really ever plan to. I am financially responsible for her even though she has a good job and can support herself?

You might be considered as "MOC" Marriage of Convenience but that depends if you turn around and get involved and "spousal sponsor" someone from back home real soon.
CIC/CBSA catch it on the information you provide about your previous relationship length etc. on the IMM 1344A Undertaking.
That way they would look at you as the devious one and then again they may not. But.....
What happens first is normally an investigation where you are asked to submit reasons for the marital relationship breakdown. Sometimes they call you in for an interview at an In Land CIC office.
If you provide evidence or they obtain evidence that leads them to believe you misrepresented some material facts they will send you to an admissibility hearing. CIC/CBSA will attempt to prove their allegation in front of an Immigration Division person and CBSA officer will present their case.
Two outcomes described as the report states or not described. If ID member find you described they order your removal and you should appeal. If you win at any time the allegations go away if not you could be stripped of your PR status and shipped back from where you came.
If you do not re-sponsor the odds CIC/CBSA will know nothing.
Hope that makes it clear.

misunderstanding ... (in reply to: Common Law Relationship Has Ended ...What Now?)
I am the Canadian she is from Germany. She had an affair and hid it from me and still we then filled out all the information to come here. She is the immigrant I am the Canadian. So I will be responsible for food, shelter, cloths etc. Can she live in a house that costs a fortune? Does her income count it is probably a little more than me. I can barely survive on my own with everything just like she could but can she demand money etc from me? If I did have more than she did could she do that? I don´t think she would but then I didn´t think she would have a 5 month relationship behind my back.

adding to it .. (in reply to: Common Law Relationship Has Ended ...What Now?)
Can I revoke sponsorship and have her sent back to Germany?

no, you cannot revoke a sponsorship- no matter how hurt or angry you are. Your deal is with the Canadian government.
The undertaking says that if she claims or accepts government assistance in the first 3 years of her landing - the government of Canada can come and collect that money from you.
If she attempted to sue you for spousal support, that is a totally different matter and one you would likely choose to fight.

Ouch ... (in reply to: Common Law Relationship Has Ended ...What Now?)
I cannot believe there is nothing I can do considering all the documents we filled out on her part were lies such as getting married and buying a house ... she had no plans for this in my mind and it seems a little odd that I cannot do anything.

I guess you could personally sue her for fraud. As for CIC, where there may be justice is if she ever attempts to sponsor someone else and they look at her history.
Sadly, this happens more than we like and that is why CIC gives couples that love each other such a difficult time. They look for the liars and cheaters. If you missed it, how could CIC ever be faulted for missing it.
I am sorry for your pain. Betrayal is a difficult think to get over - but you do and the sun will shine again- I promise.
