I have sponsored my husband and received an AOR on July 12, 2024. I have been in Canada on PR since October 2023. I am planning to go back to Pakistan at the end of September and stay there until my husband gets his visa and PR approved for Canada. Will that impact my husband’s sponsorship application? Is it safe to go back to Pakistan?

No, it is not safe. Yes, this may impact the application and result in the application being refused. As a PR, you must be living in Canada while the application is being processed to qualify as a sponsor. You should try to limit your trip outside of Canada to three weeks. You must continue to primarily live in Canada until the application is approved.
