This section is family class sponsorship, which means that most sponsors are Canadian citizens (or PRs) and the applicants are not. Applicants usually cannot live in Canada for long because they are not PRs. Sponsors usually are living in Canada, because if they weren't, the applicants wouldn't be wanting to move to Canada to be with them. Since the spouses are living in different countries, they are not living together.

The main thing in your case that is different from the spouses that are separated is that you have to prove that the sponsor will move to Canada as soon as the PR is approved, because you have to be living in Canada to sponsor a PR.

I am Canadian and I`m living with my husband in his home country - as mentioned above, I provided evidence of my plans to move back to Canada when my husband`s application is approved. that is the main difference for those living outside of Canada. as far as I can understand, the rest of the application is basically the same because we all have to prove our relationships are geniune.

good luck!

There is no requirement that spouses be living together - because, sometimes, they simply can't due to immigration barriers, etc. But lots of spousal applicants are living together - both overseas and in Canada. That will not adversely affect your application - but, if you are a Canadian citizen sponsor living overseas (you have to be a citizen in order to be eligible to sponsor when you're not living in Canada), you do need to provide proof with your application of your intent to return and settle in Canada. Canada does not want citizens living overseas to be sending their family members to live in Canada without coming with them to provide support.

Note: common-law applicants are required to prove that they have co-habitated for at least one continuous year and that they have not been separated (if they are separated) for more than a "reasonable" period of time. That's because co-habitation is the component that establishes in law a common-law partnership.
