相约北美 / 探亲团聚 / 当为spouse申请时， sponsor是否必须住在加拿大？我已在加拿大落地，现人在中国，想为spouse申请 ，但在CIC中看到“: As a sponsor, You must physically live in canada"我不知道这是否意味着申请时我本人必须在加拿大，还是我只要一般意义上即在规定的时间住在加拿大，申请时不在加也可？
有知情者请尽快告知，不尽感激！！

From the words you provided, I think so. But...you know, I'm not a lawyer so that I don't know whether I'm correct. :(

There is no income requirement for spouse. But it will help if you have some savings and show them. You have to guarantee that your spouse does not apply for any social assistance for ten years.

yes!!!!!You must be in Canada to sponsor a your wife or others if you are a landed immigrant. If you are Canadian citizen, it is not required.

官方的答案！Last month when I came back from Canada, I phoned the Immigration Center about this question. This is their answer:
Firstly, you don't have to live in Canada when you sponser your spouse if you are a Canadian or a permernent resident. Secondly, you must provide some proof that can prove that you have some connection with Canada. For example, a house a Canada, a job in canada or you pay the tax in Canada. So you'd better think about how to explain it to the officier in the empassy.
Good luck!

Be careful! My wife's case was rejected because I was not living in Canada.I think you better to stay in Canada when you try to sponsor your wife. However, I heard you can leave after you get the sponsor appication approved in Canada.
No, I applied immigration visa for her. Actually I do not think the spouse can get the visiting visa under the stupid Canadian law.

I was in Beijing and holding the RRP. My lawyer said it would be better off to re-apply(after come back in Canada) than appeal.
