I guess that was enough because I was approved to sponsor, even though I haven't moved back to Canada yet.
Just thought it might be useful to know: even though Mississauga had approved the sponsorship, it doesn't mean that the visa office will not look at whether or not you qualify as a sponsor. In the case of sponsors that live abroad, it's actually the visa office that decides whether or not the sponsor intends to move to Canada once the visa is issued. I have seen cases where the visa office has asked for more proof of just that and even a case or two where the applicant was denied their visa because the IO didn't believe the sponsor intends to move back to Canada.
Just a heads up in case this comes up again before you're done with the application.
MGG, yes, you should include the medical exam form, the police certificates and FBI certificate (if required) when first sending in the application. This way you avoid delays in the later processing (if the visa office has to request them, they then have to wait for you to send them and that just causes delays). Be sure to read the guides, this is all explained in them. With most other immigration applications (such as the skilled worker for example), you have to wait for the visa office to request such things, but because the family class has much shorter processing times, they ask for them upfront.
