1) Not quite sure what you mean, but can you be sponsored while in the USA or India? Yes.
2) Where will the application be processed the fastest? For you, Buffalo, NY, for sure. But you'd only be eligible if you've been in the USA legally for more than one year when you send in your application.
3) You can download an application kit here.
4) You might be allowed to come to Canada to visit, but if your visa expires you have to leave. If you do move you have to update your address with the CIC. I don't know if this will make you ineligible to apply through Buffalo, though...

You don't have to have been living in the US legally for one year. You do, however, have to have been legally admitted for one year in order to have your application processed in Buffalo. Both Buffalo and New Delhi have fast processing times. Average processing time in ND is 2-6 months, for Buffalo it is 4-10 months, though many are processed faster than that.

I think you are better off starting your own post to discuss your question. And you'll need to give more details -- when did you apply? under what category? what was the interview for? what happened in the interview etc.... Otherwise I don't think anyone can answer your question for you.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. i just need to understand few things.
(1) i am working in  USA on work permit (thats mean i am legal here) but thats not more then one year. it's means i am not able to apply from USA.
(2) my guy is a PR holder not a citizen will that make any difference in application.
Thanks in advance.

You are entitled to have your application processed by either your own visa office or the visa office of whatever country you have been legally admitted to for one year.

If you have been in Canada for one year at time of application you can have your app considered by Buffalo,NY

You do not have to have lived in the US for one year to do this.
