yes, she can sponsor them. i sponsored my first husband and his daughter when i had a minimum wage job and children of my own, and there was no issue with my income.

your wife and daughters can just come back, but you will need to be sponsored. your wife should be able to sponsor you since the social assistance she receives is for a disability. you will just have to explain in your application how you and she will support yourselves (or be supported) when...

i would submit the application right away - by the time the applicant portion is being evaluated, when they're determining whether the relationship is genuine, you'll have built up emails and phone bills to prove your relationship. i would definitely explain the situation in the application so...

thanks for the info! and congrats again! now on to the next step :)

had you checked it last night as well? or could that update have come yesterday? i'm just wondering if i should still be maniacally refreshing the screen throughout the weekend ;)

congrats to the SA recipients so far! does ECAS continue to update throughout the weekend?

do you know why it's longer?

aw, thanks for the +1s, guys! glad i could inspire some laughs :) and again, thanks for putting my mind at ease!!

oh i am so glad to hear that, Taffy!!!! it's one thing to have others say they don't think there's reason for concern - it's another for someone in the same situation to confirm it :)

thanks, Aquakitty. then i know we'll be okay, because i do meet all of the requirements.

glad to share a giggle!! :) it's amazing the crazy things your mind comes up with when you start worrying!

oh thank goodness... yes, i guess that makes sense - the issue i'm concerned about is more of a 'proving the relationship is genuine' kind than a 'could she ensure he won't be a drain on Canada's resources' kind. proving the relationship is genuine will be a piece of cake - our friends and...

it's kind of embarrassing to say.. i meet all of the qualifications of a sponsor, so based on what is asked for, i am eligible. but my husband is my second husband, and my first husband was also from Scotland. i sponsored him to immigrate to Canada in 2007. i did not default on my contract...

so the closer we get to the decision date, the more paranoid i am becoming about being approved as my husband's sponsor.. so i have a few questions that hopefully will put my mind at ease! am i understanding correctly that there is no appeal process for the sponsor? if the sponsor is denied...

that's all i've gotten so far, as well.

hahaha thanks.. guess i'll just keep half an eye on it ;)

sorry if this has been asked or answered elsewhere on the forum - i'm pretty new and haven't been through all of the information yet. the ECAS website says SA is updated weekly, on tuesdays. it's currently 2:34pm EST. what time of day do they normally update? is there a chance it will be...

ah, interesting :) then pay no attention to my post ;) didn't mean to confuse anyone - i clearly only had information for my situation, and not for settlers. thank you for clearing that up!

this is fantastic! this is the part that scared me the most in our application. my husband and i have been in a relationship for 4.5 years, married for 1 year, and are sickeningly in love with each other ;) i was so paranoid about finding that balance of showing that our relationship is...

i literally went through this 20 days ago. when i crossed into the States i was told i couldn't bring back a used mattress, and when i was crossing back into Canada, they all but brought out the sniffer dogs to make sure the mattress was new. they may have gotten tougher since you brought your...
