Hi All

Brand new here, look forward to getting to you. I have a question that maybe some one can help me with or point me in the right direction. I am a Canadian. My wife is Turkish. I have lived in Turkey for almost 6 years now. We own a pharmacy here in Turkey. We want to move to Canada next summer. I will be starting a new company for my own employment. My wife won't be qualified to be able to work as a pharmacist untill the fall of 2010 at the earliest. My problem may be with showing my ability to support my wife and new born to arrive in march. I want to have them come with me to Canada and then start the business. The positive catch is we will still have the pharmacy in Turkey and it's income to rely on untill the business is able to support us. She can also get a job untill she is qualified as a pharmacist . Also what about savings for self support, would this have some bearing? If we had sufficient funds in the bank to live on would that make a difference?

Thanks in advance all

Cheers
Bob

1. You don't have to be employed to sponsor a spouse, you just cannot be on welfare (except for disability). You don't have to meet the Low INcome Cutoff Figure for spouses and dependent children, as long as the dependent children do not have children of their own.
