Re: Help I'm new to this
I thought you had to be a Canadian citizen to be able to sponsor a family member rather than a PR, don't mean to put a spanner in the works and may be wrong, but it's worth checking...
Welcome to the forum anyway....

No, you don't have to be a citizen, but your daughter has to meet a minimum income level to be able to sponsor you. I understand it takes about 3 years for the first part (i.e. your daughter being granted the ability to sponsor) and then probably about another year for the next part (i.e. you applying for PR with your daughter as a sponsor).

You are not seniors.
We all live to over 100 over in these parts. lol
Is there any chance you can come over for a months holiday to check out the job front and the life style.
Do not sweat the pension yet, you have a lot of hurdles to get through.

Re: Help I'm new to this
Hi Welcome to the site.
I am new too and just learning my way around. One thing that I have noticed is that age groups are much less relevant in Canada than the UK. The people tend to be very accepting and welcoming so prepare yourself for an onrush of enthusiasm!
