You guys may find this article interesting:
embassymag.ca/page/view/immigration-10-05-2011
A quote from this article:
They are working toward a service standard in the spouse or common-law partner category to process 80 per cent of applications within 12 months. But that service standard doesn't apply to the parents and grandparents category.

I called Canada Post and they told me that they cant do anything about it. They can start an investigation only after 1 month.

Once time I sent a mail to my wife in lebanon via Post Canada, it took 3 weeks to reach there.
But in urgent case I sent it by DHL, 3 days later it was there. But it costs a lot 100 $ almost

Htraboul is right. I checked for a courrier company like Purolator or Fed Ex and it costs minimum 100$ to send a simple letter to Middle East. ???

Thank god we knew people from our village who were travelling to Canada while we were getting our application ready they helped so much because my husband would send papers with them everytime until the file was complete. Some were in montreal and as soon as the person just got to montreal he just mailed it to me to Ottawa.. Saved so much time and money.
