SPONSOR WIFE OUTSIDE CANADA

You also look for internal transfer especially if you are working for a Canadian company in your wife's country. This way, you don't have to leave your wife alone.

The wife could not accompany a Canadian citizen spouse coming back to Canada on an internal transfer. Realistically most spouses would also not be employed by a Canadian company abroad in their wife’s home country.

But she can do so after she got the COPR. It's possible that they can be employed by a Canadian company just like IRCC sometimes hires local people to work in the embassies.

Alao the wife could not accompany a Canadian citizen spouse coming back to Canada to look for jobs until she got COPR..

Sorry I though a certificate and court marriage were the same thing. If you have aero ceremony and only a marriage certificate you must wait until you have your wedding u til you can apply to sponsor your spouse. URCC is very aware of all the wedding documents, ceremonies, etc. and see many couples try to submit their applications early so they will be able to leave for Canada together after their wedding. We have seen many try what you are suggesting or something similar and IRCC will refuse the application unless they can see that all ceremonies have been completed and you have pictures. You don’t have to return to Canada right away if you don’t want to. You can submit evidence of relocating to Canada while remaining abroad abroad or return to Canada 3/4 ways through processing and send a webform to IRCC indicating that you have come back to Canada to work (including proof of employment or lease, etc.) and establish yourself so you can be ready for your wife to join you as soon as her PR is approved. Returning to Canada will make it much easier to prove that you are both planning on coming to Canada once she has PR.

"You can submit evidence of relocating to Canada while remaining abroad", Can I submit screenshots of searching jobs or rooms rental to prove that I plan to come back? I hope I can find a job first and come back Canada so that I can afford the living cost there.

Yes, that's one example of the type of info you can provide. You can check other threads here for other examples.

One small additional point: after you submit your app, it seems pretty standard now that IRCC writes and asks for (additional) evidence of intent to return, it can be 3-9 months after applying. So after you apply, continue to collect additional info - they know that not everyone will eg have a job and buy a house before applying and returning, it increases credibility if you've demonstrably continued to prepare.

Also, if you (the sponsor) return to Canada before approved, update your address AND specifically add to your file via webform with info like address, employment, housing that has changed. There's no better evidence of intent to return to Canada than actually returning and settling.

Yes that would be part of the proof needed but examples of giving notice to jobs in your wife’s home country or giving notice to leave a rental in addition to proof you are looking for a jobs or a rental in Canada would be much better. Records of searching for rentals or looking for jobs in Canada would be easy to submit even if you had no intention of remaining in Canada. I would suggest reading through previous posts about proof requirements over the past few years. There are examples of what people submitted, whether they were asked for more proof, etc.

I agree that all of these things would be better but some are, for obvious reasons (incl money), difficult or unrealistic for many to provide.

So three main messages:
-absolutely MUST take this seriously and do the best you can when applying to show intent to return.
-but, the perfect is the enemy of the good: don't delay for too long applying in pursuit of the perfect file. Check the other threads and do the best you can. If there are things you can't do (like quit your job), a short letter of explanation can make sense.
-KEY: recently, with perhaps some exceptions, IRCC almost certainly will request more information and evidence of intent to return. Be prepared and don't take it personally. Be prepared by continuing to collect evidence in support of your case. Just take an hour or so a week to look into things and show additional evidence.
