1. A lawyer is not a requirement; especially if the case is straight forward enough. A lawyer might be preferred when your case is more complicated (for example: previous marriages, previous children, previous criminal record, etc.)
2. You can pay the fees online using any credit card (doesn't even have to be yours).
3. CIC's actual guide is pretty good. And, then there's this forum. Most of your answers are already here somewhere. You can try asking for your unique situations. You should be able to gather most of your documents from Bangladesh. As a sponsor, you might want a copy of your last filed tax return/assessment, bank statements, degrees/diploma...whichever is applicable/available.
4. Go through the application forms and try to fill them up yourself first (rough draft). Make note of your thoughts and questions at any point. Then come back and search here or ask.
5. You can use couriers like FedEx to send your application package to the Mississauga address.
Your main issue will be prove that you will indeed be returning to Canada once everything is approved since you were away for a while. You can show proofs if possible like an address (rental agreement/mortgage) in Canada when you will be returning. You can show admission to college/university in Canada. There are spaces in the application where you can give your own explanations.
You can consult with a lawyer if you are really not comfortable filling in the application yourself. This website/company "Canada Visa" itself is law firm themselves. I believe they have free assessment of sort. I am not making them a recommendation. I just don't have any other contact to share.
I still can't believe it!! They might not be going through SVO. I did have a friend go through London VO being done less than 3 months.
