I dont know. I pray to God almighty to help me. Nothing else here favours me and certainly needs a lot of things to go in my favour.

Jesus dont do things to hurt people. Everything has a reason and a purpose. By faith I pass everyday...

will surely post the result whatever happens.

Everything was completed. Including Pre arrival. Background check for Principal Applicant was in progress. Next step was PPR, but then we received the PFL.

Now only PA's BGV is left. Sponsor eligibility was completed a month before PFL.
when did you submit your application?

I reached out to my immigration lawyer they clarified over 3 months will need an explanation. 4-5 weeks would be fine.

Reference given was :

A sponsor must be residing in Canada, unless they are a Canadian citizen residing abroad sponsoring a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child (provided that the dependent child does not have dependent children of their own) [R130(2)].

See Sponsorship by Canadian citizens living abroad

Sponsors who maintain a principal residence in Canada are not considered to be in violation of residency requirements if they

take short holidays or business trips outside Canada on a temporary basis
have work arrangements that require them to be outside Canada for temporary finite periods of time, but return to live in Canada in between assignments (such as ship crew or seasonal workers)
Persons who do not maintain a principal residence in Canada and who live and work abroad and only return to Canada for short visits are not considered to meet residency requirements.

Generally the 4 wks or so is fine. Question is whether it's still true in your case, i.e. if there is any relation to the matter on your PFL, your spouse not having been declared.

I have no opinion on and don't know about that either way.
