Hi Peter,
If you haven't already done so, I suggest that you look at James
Metcalfe's responses to your other post on this matter.
You were correct to send the whole package to Mississauga. The CPC in
Mississauga processes the application to sponsor, and then once it is
approved, they send you a letter informing you of their decision and
then they forward the application for Permanent Residence to the Visa
Post abroad.
For your information, my husband and I submitted our spousal
sponsorship from abroad package to Mississauga on December 22nd, 2003
and I received my sponsorship approval letter from Mississauga in
mid-January (letter dated January 9th). I think my timeline on this
is pretty standard (although some people seem to wait a little bit
longer). Anyway, 6 months is your case seems a clear indication to me
that something went wrong somewhere. Hopefully, the experts on this
newsgroup can assist you in finding out what the problem is.
Good Luck and All the Best.
