At the moment, I am not represented by counsel and I wanted to know who is allowed to file paperwork such as motions and affidavits regarding my case with the court on my behalf? Am I able to get my fiancé or a friend to file them when I am not available?

I'm not aware of restriction with respect to who actually files the Document's - But there is a restriction on who actually serves some documents.
Read Rule 6, and particular subrule 4.1 and 4.2
Courts of Justice Act - O. Reg. 114/99
SPECIAL SERVICE — RESTRICTION ON WHO MAY SERVE
(4.1) Subject to subrule (4.2), special service of the following documents shall be carried out by a person other than the party required to serve the document:
1. An application (Form 8, 8A, 8B, 8B.1, 8B.2, 8C, 8D, 8D.1, 34L or 34N).
2. A motion to change (Form 15) and change information form (Form 15A) or affidavit permitted under subrule 15 (22), with required attachments.
