Sponsoring Spouse while living/work outside Canada

I am a Canadian citizen living outside of Canada since August 2008. I have been working overseas since then (not for a Canadian business). I have recently (September 2016) gotten married to a non Canadian. I believe i am eligible to apply for sponsorship of my spouse. It states that once her sponsorship is approved (i.e she becomes a permanent resident), we have to show that we plan to move back to Canada.
Since i am employed overseas, once she receives her permanent residency, would her time spent with me overseas count as days spent "in Canada"?
If so, what would be the documents required to prove this and and which point should these documents be presented theoretically (i.e at the time of receiving her permanent residency or only when the appropriate authorities ask for it?)
Thank you! |
