Would be best for your wife to work on top of the letter.

Yes - you can certainly try that. If you were working before you came to Canada, then I would recommend that you also provide proof of your employment from outside of Canada (e.g. tax returns, pay slips).

Thank you so much as im already in canada about 4 years and i was student lest three years so i was working only part time and i sent my assessment with application that time.
I think this affidavits will be fine as they knows i dont have work permit so they just wanna make sure i dont go for social assistance after
Thanks everyone

They do usually expect the Canadian spouse to be in some form of employment. You are in the lucky position to have Canadian experience but it still could take time to get a job. Given that they already have your financial information they are definitely looking for morr income. Your brother and sister will have to provide their financial information to show they have the extra funds to support you.

I would get your siblings in law to attach a few months of bank reports. $8000 is not a lot of money if they are your financial supporters. With a housing or car expense their savings could be considerablt decreased. I guess CIC will ask if they need more financial guaratees.
