Spousal sponsorship timing

[Ali1138]

Hello, I need an advise on timing my spousal sponsorship application. There a two conditions in my case.
1. I am 4 months short on meeting RO. I will be in residency compliance by October 2022.
2. I need to travel outside Canada to meet my family in October 2022. I am thinking of living outside Canada for at least 3-4 months. Which means I will be back in Canada not before February 2023.

My question is should I submit my sponsorship application now, since it will be a while before I receive AOR. I may be in RO compliance by then. However, the second issue would kick in that is i will have to travel for few months. In that case is it better to postpone sponsorship application but again the processing times are very lengthy, hence my confusion.

Thank you for your response.

As a PR, you can NOT apply to sponsor someone if you aren't in the country. There isn't a question, here. You have to wait until you are back.

As already pointed out you must remain in Canada during your sponsorship application as a PR. You also should be compliant with your RO when sponsoring someone or else risk your PR status and your partner’s application.

Based on your previous posts you don’t have a valid PR card and don’t meet your RO. Applying for sponsorship until you meet your RO is quite risky and applying when planning on remaining outside of Canada for 3-4 months also could result in sponsorship denial. Youshould really wait until in Canada and compliant with your RO to start sponsorship. You still have to try to reenter Canada without being reported When you leave in the fall.
