Hi,
Do you live with your girlfriend in a common-law partnership? I guess you can register as partners once you move to Canada on BUNAC. Common - law partners who have lived together for more than a year, have same rights as spouses which means that she will receive visa once your work permit sponsored by your employer will be approved. That's what I understand but it is worth to consult CIC web page, anyway.
