PR residing in Canada, but submitting application from India (While temporarily staying)

[masokan]

I have a PR and I'm sponsoring my to-be spouse:

I am travelling to India for my marriage and I'll probably stay there for a good 2-3 months working remotely. I am planning to take all of my documents with me, and then after marriage, prepare all of her documents, and get her signature.

The website says they expect the application to be mailed to them, if I mail from India as soon as we can get things ready, I'll be able to save 45-60 days of processing time compared to coming back to Canada and mailing it from here.

I have enough documents to prove that I live in Canada(My bank statements, Rental lease, PR, driver's license) and have only visited India temporarily(when applying), so my application will state that I'm currently residing here in Canada, but the sender's address on my application package will be from India as I plan to send it from there. Will this affect the process in any way ? Is it a bad idea to send from India? should I wait and send after I'm back here?

Thanks

Wait until you are back in Canada to submit the application and it's clear you meet the requirements to apply. Yes, bad idea to submit the application while still in India.

The key thing is statement that 'the senders address on the application package will be from India' yet to sponsor anyone you must be in Canada so as per Scylla is a bad idea to try 'bending' the rules. Its unfortunate but unless a spouse has a TRV it is just one of those things that spouses may be apart during a sponsorship

Not being in Canada for 45-60 days coukd result in your application being refused.
