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,

If I live outside Canada, may I sponsor?

If you are a Canadian citizen, you may sponsor a spouse, a common-law partner or conjugal partner, or a dependent child who has no children of his or her own. However, you must demonstrate that you will live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident.

Note: Permanent residents residing abroad may not sponsor from outside of Canada. Canadian citizens travelling as tourists are not considered to be residing abroad.


If you wife is not a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident and you do not want to sponsor her at this time, it is important that she complete a medical as, all family members, whether or accompanying or not, will have to complete a medical examination.

It is very important that you review the information found in the on the CIC Website in the Guide 3900 - Sponsorship of a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child living outside Canada section.

You may also want to contact the nearest Canadian Visa Office for specific information on your 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.
