Parents sponsorship - do parents need to return to their home country?

[hellothere2019]

Dear friends,

Background:
My parents are currently living in a country (not their home country) without status.

1. If I want to sponsor them to become permanent resident in Canada, do they need to return to their home country to do the application?

2. Will I be able to sponsor them if I meet all requirements of being a sponsor?

Any helpful information (links, policies, etc,) will be appreciated!!

Everything you need to know about sponsoring your parents can be found here,

keep your eye on the IRCC website for an announcement of when the process will open next year.

I believe if they were to require a interview they will have to be present in their home country for the interview.
