If you sent the sponsorship and application to Nairobi, you will probably be getting them back. As they go to Mississauga, and if approved, Mississauga will send the application to Nairobi

Hey .. my sponsorship is going through Nairobi as well (I am in Canada .. sponsoring my Tanzanian husband). Could you please keep me abreast of how things go with you ... there are not a lot of people I found who are dealing with the Nairobi office on this site and the more info the better .. Thanks!

You should have sent your application to CPC-Mississauga where all outland applications go, irrespective of the location of the sponsor. Contact CPCM by registered mail and see if Nairobi has forwarded the materials to them. If your application is lost, you might as well re-send it. The fees you paid had to go to CPCM as well, and if you contact them about those, you should get a quick response about whether they have received them. In fact, if you paid online, you have a receipt number that you will be able to check on E-CAS:

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do?app=ecas

If you are very lucky, your materials are at CPCM and they have started processing. Had you sent them to the correct location, the sponsor would almost certainly have been approved by now, if they are approvable:

Don't be fooled by the term "in-Canada." That just means the approval of the sponsor, which investigation is done in Canada, not at a foreign embassy.
