Hi!I also have this issue last week cause i'm planning to go home for 40 days in the philippines. I am the sponsor, PR only. I also posted the same thing in this forum and some of them told me not to leave canada while sponsorship applicantion is still on process. I called the immigration to clarify and the agent told me a month or two is not a big deal the only thing that will affect the application is if you will stay outside canada for a long time for example 6 months. Hope this helps. I'm planning to call the immigation again to clarify and this time i will ask some proof that it is safe to go on a vacation.
I would like to know did you end up going home? How long it was and does it cause any problem? Because right now im having the same problem.
Thank you
