Can the sponsor leave Canada for good (installment in another country and job) within the 3 year sponsorship period?

thanks, forgot to add some information,

can the sponsor also renounce Canadian citizenship and only be citizen of the new country (work purposes) since the sponsor agreement is still not ended?

You're going to pay to have your citizenship renounced? I'd think carefully on that. You would then not be able to live in Canada in the future unless you apply via immigration all over again, and by Skilled Worker line.

ummmm...who are you sponsoring? the point of Family Class Sponsorship is to reunite families. what would be the point if you are leaving Canada and do not even want to be a citizen, let alone live there?

And this is why the rest of us get scrutinized so harshly.

This *feels* like the sponsor is trying to avoid repayments of welfare used by the sponsored person. I can't think of any job that would be blocked by Canadian citizenship that wouldn't also require at least a few years residency in the other country as a citizen of that country. I'm thinking of classified occupations...

Things went sour, sponsored person cheated so there is a process of separation/divorce.
Also since there is no longer plan on coming back or staying in Canada, if Canadian citizenship is not renounced, I assume when working at another country while having canadian citizenship, you should report all your income made outside Canada and still pay income taxes to Canadian gov?
and yes it is in a way to avoid payments used by the sponsored person and minimize the loss (who would want to do that for someone who cheated on you).

This website explains your tax obligations. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/nnrsdnts/ndvdls/lvng-eng.html

You will not have to pay tax on your foreign income if you are a non-resident of Canada. Giving up your citizenship is unnecessary. I am not sure what would happen to your sponsorship obligations, though.

Make sure you really want to do this. You might be asked to reimburse any welfare payments, which are not necessarily that high compared to the disruption of leaving the country.

Unlike the US taxation (which is based on worldwide income), Canadian taxation is based on residency of the taxpayer. Canada does not require tax from a Canadian citizen once they officially reside in another country.
