Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

You can find some information related to who is eligible to sponsor while outside Canada in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.

It states,

If you are a Canadian citizen not residing in Canada, you may sponsor your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and/or dependent children who have no dependent children of their own.

You can also find some additional information on the CIC Website in the Guide 3900 - Sponsorship of a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child living outside Canada section.

Here is an excerpt,
