Out of country spousal sponsorship

[Gemini1]

Hi All,

Has anyone applied out of country?  I am living in London and my soon to be husband, in Serbia...in order to be closer for visiting.  I am planning on staying here throughout the application process and was wondering if anyone has (or knows of anyone) that has applied for the spouse visa from outside of Canada.  Does it make things more difficult?  As far as I can see, I need to prove I will go back to Canada once he receives the visa.
Thanks and good luck to those still waiting

Are you a Canadian citizen?

Yes, well duel...living in London at the moment, working on a contract, but planning on going back to Canada when visa is approved

As long as you're a citizen you can apply while being outside of Canada.
As you said, you will need to supply proof of your plans to return to Canada.
