Sponsoring inlaws

[Jeroo]

Hi
If someone is a co-signer in his wife's mother's sponsorship, does he have to be in Canada while the Sponsorship application and PR are being processed? The husband and wife are both citizens of Canada and now husband wants to go work in Dubai (as he has a job offer there) and therefore they would like to sponsor the wife's mother (who lives in Dubai right now).

Who can’t sponsor a parent or grandparent
You can’t sponsor your parents and grandparents if:

• you’re less than 18 years old
• you won’t live in Canada when you apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents and/or when your parents and grandparents become permanent residents
