Hi all, just to say I moved here in 2008 with my hubby who is a Canadian citizen, I am English , we are married and I have been going through Immigration now for almost 3 years ! *sigh* its been a tough road for us both, what with CSIS interviews and my case being delayed even further but Im still here waiting for the big day !

Well hello fellow Yorkie. Where are you from...I'm a Sheffield Lass myself?

While I'm asking questions...where in Canada are you heading to? Our daughter lives in Toronto...we spend quite a bit of time there.

eyeoftheocean

Im from Keighley , the hell hole LOL ...and Ive been here in Canada for almost 3 years , going through PR right now and should almost be near the end of some decsion

Been to Toronto many times , too busy for me lol a bit like London England what do you think of it ?

Jerseygirl

Keighley...not a million miles away from Sheffield.

I like T.O...we have a condo downtown lakeside. Don't know whether I would like to live there though.

eyeoftheocean

Your luky to have a condo on the lakeside ! And no I wouldnt blame you if you didnt want to live there , the place is a zoo LOL ..too busy for my liking Im a country girl and live way out in the country here , the highlight of my life is watching the hay baylers in summer time LOL ...


My hubby and I have drove past sheffield , but not actually been to visit

Jerseygirl

It is a zoo you are right...especially the trafffic. I like to be in T.O. in the summer...not so keen in the winter. Saying that we're having worse weather here this winter.

eyeoftheocean

Summer here is awsome, infact Canada has all the seasons ..I remember when I was a kid (not that long ago) we used to have sasons in England , but all it ever does now is rain , and since I moved to Canada in 2008 England has had more snow there than here weird lol

I chat to my kids every day almost cos their still in England, they tell me how bad the weather is there ,and I tell them I remember way back when I was your age and we got loads of snow .


Its nice chatting with you

Jerseygirl

Nice to chat to you to.

Yeah I remember when I was a child living in Sheffield...the snow used to come over the top of my wellies. Oh and those long hot summer days we used to have...remember?

eyeoftheocean

I certainly do remember those hot days ..and the drouts that came with them lol

Im so sick of the snow here now , it gets depressing after a few months , everything becomes smaller and the temp is stupidly cold -30 somedays BRRRrrrrr roll on April I say ! whats the weather been like there ?

Jerseygirl

Since Christmas about the same as you by the sound of it. Actually the news here reported that Canada is having a milder winter than we are this year.

eyeoftheocean

Wow , its hard to beleive really but Ive heard the same too .

Just to say welcome to BE from me too.
It sounds like you have had quite a time of it with the bureaucracy - hope the red tape unties soon.
