Sponsoring spouse after spending less time together (arranged marriage)

I will be getting married in less than a month and my employer is not allowing me to work from my home country for a longer period of time so I will be spending around 5 weeks with my spouse post the date of marriage before returning to Canada. It is an arranged marriage so I will be adding as much proof as possible of a genuine relationship including why I have spent less time with my spouse as IRCC seems to be aware of how arranged marriages work.

My question is will this cause any issue with the spousal sponsorship as I wont be spending much time with my spouse after marriage?

My only other options is to quit my job, spend a long time back home and come back which I want to avoid given this recessionary period of time.

What should I do?
 
It's not uncommon, there are many threads here about this. One common thing, seems to be important to include information and photos of all of the traditional ceremonies and who attended from both families. Do not skip any steps. Also how the union was arranged.

Obviously specifics depend on traditional and religion concerned.

Thank you! Yes, I have read those threads and I will have all of the required proof. I was just hoping that my employer would allow me to work from outside of Canada for a long time which they are not agreeing to because of some stupid "policy".

Note you cannot sponsor while aboraf, and absolutely must file the sponsorship app from within Canada. Short trips after that are ok .

Also look into the new policies regarding visitor visas for spouses, and open work permits. Possible this will reduce the amount of time you and your spouse have to spend apart.

I am aware of this, I have to gather some documents after coming back anyway.

I am aware of this too, the consensus seem to be to apply for TRV after AOR for spousal sponsor ship is received.
