The comment about showing that you both intend to settle in Canada once the process is over did not have to do with the sponsorship approval per se. In fact I don't believe they put that into consideration at that stage.
actually, they do take this into consideration for sponsors living outside of Canada. Part of the application to sponsor while living abroad is to produce proof that you intend to return to Canada with your spouse (so you're not just sending someone to Canada and abandoning them there) I sent proof of a couple job offers and a letter from my parents about their intent to help us settle in their city.

Yes, it's true that two of the forms that Mississauga looks at ask if the sponsor is currently outside of the country, and specifically the sponsor questionnaire asks when the sponsor plans to return, where he plans to live, and for photocopies of certain documents that prove this intention. I just do not know how much they scrutinize that proof at stage 1 as opposed to stage 2, at the visa office.

Assuming the OP's sponsor is a citizen and not a PR (since a PR would not be able to sponsor another for PR if he or she were living outside Canada), this is what the CIC processing manual states:

• may sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent children without dependent children of their own
• must satisfy immigration officials that they will reside in Canada once their spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and dependent children become permanent residents in Canada
must forward their applications directly to CPC-M, where their plan to return to Canada will be assessed based on documentary evidence and/or interview assistance from the visa office where necessary

Yeah, I would read that to mean, since the sponsor is not available in Canada for an interview to confirm intent, the interview would be done by the VO. It still sounds like it would be done as part of stage 1. I doubt they actually call interviews to establish the sponsors intent to return very often, they probably take the evidence submitted with a degree of good faith unless it is highly suspect.

i checked ecas today it still says application received, i decided to click it and it says application received june 8th (the day mississugua got it) but under it, it says medical results received, doesnt give a date but still its good news. i dont know why my wife never got her sponsorship approval or why when we call they say a decesion hasnt been made but if my ecas says medical results received, it must be in buffalo.

also under my sponsors ecas it says "Sponsored person" then under it my name, 'sponsorship application status" and under it "in process", then "permanent resident application status" an under it "application received". what does other peoples say? does it say decesion made under sponsor application status for everyone else?

yes for me

if yours says "in process" but the file and its associated medicals are received at Buffalo, you might want to call CIC and inform them of that

i don't understand what someone being in Canada has to do with getting the email versus not....or getting the approval message some other way. My husband is sponsoring me. Like most sponsors, he is in the country (as am I) during this wait, and he received the email addressed to him from CPC-M and forwarded it to me.
