Ontario citizen trying to sponsor Husband with Iraq nationality

Hi,
I am married to my wonderful husband who has a passport from Iraq because the place where he was born (kuwait) would not give him citizenship. Anyways, I am wondering if his Iraqi nationality will present a big problem in coming to Canada. As most people know, the government there is unstable, and corrupted. I just read that CIC has to send the documents to the applicants home country for processing too, and I am worried that Iraq will corrupt or lose the documents, or some other thing will happen to delay the process forever.
I am really worried about what we will do because we are having a baby in March 2008, and I wanted him to be able to go to Canada with me and the baby to see my parents in Canada.
We live in Germany now, and have a Danish marriage certificate.
Please advise me about the quickest way to get a visa. I have seen the CIC website like 1000 times and contacted the embassy in Berlin but I still have no answers
