Are you in same situation?

I am in an unique situation.

• I got my PR along with my wife & daughter. I was the primary applicant.
  
  
• After soft landing my wife went back to India & I am working in Canada.
  
  
• Situation might arise where in my wife will not able to fulfill her 2 years residency requirement while I become eligible for citizenship.
  
  
• In that scenario can I sponsor my wife as a Canadian citizen? What are the chances of approval?

Not sure what you mean by "can I sponsor my wife as a Canadian citizen?". Please explain your question.

You can only sponsor your wife as a Canadian PR.

But before doing that your wife needs renounce her PR. Currently she is still a PR not meeting her RO.

I mean can I sponsor my wife for a Canadian PR when I am on PR/Citizen and wife didn't fulfill residency requirements previously?

Hi

I mean can I sponsor my wife for a Canadian PR when I am on PR/Citizen and wife didn't fulfill residency requirements previously?

1. Yes, but as explained she would still have to renounce her PR status before the application would be processed. (Yes I know that she is not meeting the RO, but she is still considered a PR until she either renounces her PR status or applies for a PRTD and is refused and doesn't appeal the refusal.)
