Physical presence for Outland Spousal Application - PR

[girishjs111]

Do I need to be physically present in Canada to submit my wife’s PR application (Outland spousal)
I am a PR currently visiting India. I have the opportunity from my employer to stretch my stay. But I also want to submit my wife’s application at the earliest

please advise. TIA

Yes, you need to be physically present in Canada and then continue living in Canada while the application is processed.
