Ah right, so if our daughter sponsored us now it could take up to 6 years to approve but then, if approved we would have to do like you said and get insurance for 3 months etc but we would then be able to move to Canada? Once in Canada how long would they be resonsible for us?

They would be financially responsible for you for 10 years and have to commit to this in writing. There is a bill before Canadian parliament to reduce this to 3 years but this is meeting with resistance.
