Of course. The only issue is how you demonstrate to CIC that you are legally married - usually people wait for the confirmation to come back from the provincial government.
What is the confirmation from the provinicial government?

During the sponsor approval stage is it common to receive a letter requesting a rental agreement and last payment receipt. Just makes me nervous. Perhaps they just want proof that my wife (the sponsor) is currently living there?

That's almost assuredly why it is taking so long. Security checks are much more difficult for countries that do not have regular diplomatic relations with Canada.

Okay, they are much more difficult but once there is a civil war, wouldnt it be pointless waiting? Or will they eventually get a response?

Hello,

I'm trying to pay the fees of the sponsorship (Outland) of my wife from outside Canada (Lebanon) by using a credit card in US Dollars issued in Lebanon. Is it possible to pay by this credit card? Please can somebody help,

Yes, except that you aren't exempted from the knowledge exam. You're exempted from the driving course that is mandatory for new drivers.

Also, the IDP doesn't replace the Lebanese licence. It's in addition to it. I think for the first six months you can drive with the Lebanese licence only, but if it's in Arabic only, it's recommended to have an IDP as well. Never drive with only the IDP, as it's not valid on its own.

Here is a description of the process one Lebanese immigrant went through. If you've never held a Quebec licence, and resided in Lebanon when you obtained the Lebanese one, then you'll be in the same situation even though you're a Canadian citizen. Be prepared to provide proof of residence in Lebanon.

Thanks a lot Frege

Goury which country you from?
Normally changes of the visitor visa in such cases would be difficult. But if you can presnt the case properly chance would be good. I would suggest if you can take any experience guidance on documentation before you file for visa.

I looked at the status of my application. It says decision made .. what does that mean?

"We received your application to sponsor xxxxxxx on September 24, 2013.

We started processing your application on October 8, 2013.

We sent you a letter on October 8, 2013 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us."
