Apply for spousal sponsorship while the sponsor lives abroad

[wambaozhixing]

My fiancee and I want to get married next year and apply for spousal sponsorship. While the application is being evaluated, my fiancee and I want to live together in my home country. Then if I get a positive response, we'll go to Canada together.

According to the sticky topic here and another topic of mine, we have to prove that we have the means to return to Canada once I have been accepted. How exactly do we do that? What do we need to include in our application to make it possible for my fiancee to stay with me?

According to the sticky:

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor your spouse without being in Canada but you do then have to prove that you are planning on moving to Canada when your spouse gets approved for permanent residency. Such proof can include having arranged jobs, being accepted to college, having arranged housing or letters from friends & relatives stating that they know of your plans and that you can stay with them while you look for housing etc.

We have to let CIC know that we might stay at a friend's. How can a friend help us prove that we'll stay at their place exactly? What about arranged jobs, what are these?

Since the evaluation process can take up to 1 year and half, it's quite difficult to prove that we're going to be employed in Canada.

Can someone explain how this is achievable?

Hi,
I have been accepted as my spouse's sponsor, and we both live abroad. I got friends and family to write letters saying that they are aware we really want to move to canada and what plans we had told them we had, when we get his papers, and I asked my old employer in canada if I could have my old job back when we get accepted, so she wrote a letter. Also I scanned my temporary residence card which expires in october and said I wont be renewing it. Thats all I did and it worked.

Were these written letters? Like a conversation? I think we can do this with her friends there! Do emails work as well? We really want to be able to prove our coming back, because we genuinely want to do that. Any further help would be appreciated.

Sorry if I appear like I'm spamming. Unfortunately, that other topic has not answered my question fully and I thought asking a specific question in a specific topic would result in a more detailed answer. Also the other topic was bloated with other questions.

If the question of mine gets answered here, it would serve users in the future asking the same question and it would make their search a lot easier (since this topic asks one specific question).

Sorry for the meta. I'm still looking for more answers.
