    Required proof - do we even stand a chance?

    Hi Avadava :) Thank you very much for your reply, it is much appreciated. It seems that the family class sponsorship will take too long especially as we were hoping on moving to Canada say mid-2014. At this stage we can't afford just having one person bringing in money so it seems that your...
