Hahahaha, You have discouraged me with every effort I made with IRCC. Starting with my PR, Spouse PR and Parents PR. I applied for Outland-PR and stayed in Canada for months, applied for outland spouse PR and stayed outside Canada for several months. Finally I applied for PGP in 2020, which was just one year after my landing, I was not eligible back then. I got my PGP ITA in 2023 and I applied for that as well.
Keep in mind if sponsor is PR they can't leave the country while sponsorship is in process they'll have to be in Canada. However, if sponsor is citizen they're able to travel outside of Canada if they please.
I think he knows but he is saying that he breaks all the rules and still got the applications approved. (or will get it approved)
Let's keep this straight: the PR-sponsor must be in Canada to apply to sponsor, and remain in Canada, it's true, BUT can travel outside for short trips. "Short trips" is nowhere defined, but haven't heard of a case where an absence of less than a month is a problem.
Well, this is autobahn, no such speed limits exists or documented anywhere.. as imagined by a few mods here
There are documented cases including in this thread of applicants having their files refused because sponsor not in Canada, and also cases of files delayed for long periods and sponsor asked to document presence in Canada. Take that as you will, but not imagined.
Not just saying this for the sake of argument. But every documented case in the recent 2-3 years suggest that there no issues with living abroad during spousal sponsorship and most ppl including me have raised webforms to notify IRCC about the travel. I checked canlii to make sure I know the facts, there is only one documented case in canlii about 7-8yrs ago where spousal sponsorship was refused when the sponsor travelled abroad during sponsorship. That case was super specific, the sponsor went abroad joined a new job and purchased a car abroad. These details were attached to the case too, I was shocked to see how much of evidence IRCC was able to gather from a different nation, in order to ensure their decision cannot be challenged again
There is only one user @Mum84 who has reported that their spousal sponsorship was denied due to travel. A little surprise for you, read the below thread from the same user. Its obvious that this user is living abroad and doesn't want to disclose it to the forum.
Can you share any case whose COPR has been cancelled , if they land in Canada along with sponsor (sponsor stayed outside for 6 months while her wife application was in progress, then got approved)????
You can search the forum for some examples. There are examples. The search function isn’t great on the forum so not going to spend my time trying to find the posts. It is pretty clear in the application instructions that a PR must be living in Canada to sponsor a spouse. Landing in Canada together has nothing to do with COPR being cancelled. Most are denied before getting COPR although I have seen a case where a COPR was cancelled after being issues after it was discovered that a spouse had been abroad. Why risk the application being refused? Also not follow the application instructions could lead to scrutiny of any future applications.
If you're a citizen, no, not relevant to what is being discussed here. Canadian citizens can sponsor while residing abroad, technically even if they had never set foot in Canada.
Can you specify exact such case where COPR has been cancelled? where I can find details of such case
