Sponsoring Spouse - Need to Leave Canada

Sponsoring Family
1

Hello,

I’m sponsoring my spouse, but I have to return to my home Country.

If I leave, the process will stop?

It that would be a problem?

We are waiting just the Visa request.

Thanks for your comments.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

You can find some information regarding this in the IP 2 Processing Applications to Sponsor Members of the Family Class Manual in the 13.2. Residency requirements for sponsors section.

Here is an excerpt,

As you can see it states, “sponsors are not ineligible if they take short holidays or business trips outside Canada”.

It is best that you contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Call Centre to confirm this information and for some information on what your options are in your specific situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
