Sponsoring a Spouse; Living Separately

Greetings,

I have what I guess is a somewhat specific question. I couldn't find any answer anywhere. Here it goes.

I am a Canadian citizen by birth. I have been in a relationship with a Japanese citizen for two years and a half. Married to her for one year. I want to apply to sponsor her for permanent residence from inside Canada.

Is it possible for us to live at separate addresses during the application process? What about after she gets permanent resident status?

If my wife is self-sufficient in Canada and has a good-paying job with her open work permit or with her status as a permanent resident, is it possible for me to go work abroad for some time?

Thank you for any information. I can provide clarifications if necessary.
