I am a present PR Cardholder whose card will expire in May 2019. My wife and son, who are also PR cardholders, have been staying close to 2 years in Canada. Once they complete 2 years, they will seek renewal of PR cards and will continue to stay in Canada.
I am thinking of making an application under the spousal category thru which my wife can sponsor me since, at this stage, I would not be complying with the residency requirements of 730 days under the present PR card.
We have also recently purchased a property under the joint names of myself and my wife. Moreover, my wife and son are not gainfully employed and I support them with funds from my place of stay where I am currently employed.
Given this background, I am interested in response to the following and would appreciate your preliminary response which will enable me to consider engaging your services:
Thanks.

- Can I apply for spousal sponsorship while the present PR card is valid ?
- If I can apply as above, can I travel to and from Canada before May 2019, being the date of expiry of the present PR Card ?
Thanks.
