Sponsor going to PA's country while outland application is ongoing. HELP!

[Synoptic]

Hello. I'm a sponsor and a PR in Canada. I am going to my wife's country for 3 months to work remotely while our application is ongoing. Is this not allowed? Will this affect our application negatively?

I am aware of the residency requirement that I must be physically in Canada for 2 years in every 5-year period. I am well within this and only been away for several months in the last 5 years.

That 2 out of 5 years is to maintain your PR, that's a totally separate thing from spouse sponsorship requirements. As a PR, you're required to reside in Canada, only citizens can apply while abroad. 3 months is way too long to be away

Hi

Not allowed and yes, it could certainly affect your app. You are required to live in Canada throughout the entire sponsorship process. A few short visits of a few weeks are allowed but anything more than that and you risk the app.
