Hi from Glasgow
Hi Everyone,
My name's Sandra (43) and I am a secondary school Maths teacher. I have two sons Craig (25) a driving instructor and Steven (22) a football coach. We will be moving to the Vancouver area in August and can't wait it's been a long time coming. This site looks amazing and hope to find out lots of info.
Cheers

Re: Hi from Glasgow
Great site huh! Everyone's so helpful.
I applied after my oldest son turned 22. He was accepted as my dependent since he was my mother's full time carer. She lived with us you see and was extremely disabled. It didn't fit any of the categories for dependents but I took a chance anyway. If that hadn't worked I would have sponsored him through the family class once we arrived.
If you have a similar dilema I hope this helps .
Sandra
