Sponsoring your spouse while living in another country If you are a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor your spouse without being in Canada but you do then have to prove that you are planning on moving to Canada when your spouse gets approved for permanent residency. Such proof can include having arranged jobs, being accepted to college, having arranged housing or letters from friends & relatives stating that they know of your plans and that you can stay with them while you look for housing etc. If you are a PR, you must reside in Canada in order to sponsor your spouse. But if immigration finds out that you are not in Canada, you risk getting your application refused
