Re: Greetings from the near side !
I bet your postie back at home is well pleased you are gone - she can walk the streets without being in fear now. Glad to hear it all worked out in the end but you have had a few anxious moments recently.
You must be going through quite an emotional time what with starting your new life in Canada but with the family being left behind for now. You'll be so busy time will fly and they will be with you before you know it. My OH is ex-Navy so I know only too well what the separation is like.
Good luck with everything and don't forget to let us know what life in Canada is like.
All the best - Angela x

Re: Greetings from the near side !
Made it to Moncton. Picked up Work Permit at Halifax, they even checked in the system and said our original apps were put in the system on 1st March and still to be processed. So paid another $150 but got a two year permit stapled in the passport. Only glitch was at Heathrow when they started to insist on a return ticket but she palmed it off on security and they didn't even bother giving it a second glance.
So will be doing SIN, bank accounts and drivers licence tomorrow.
Will update soon .... it's 9pm here in Moncton but for me it's 1 am for me and it's been a long day and yesterday saying goodbye to the family was upsetting for all, including me.
catch you soon.

Re: Greetings from the near side !
Welcome to Canada
Think I may have seen you on the flight, but its always hard to know. If you were the guy nervously fiddling with a folder of paperwork my guess was right. I was 3 or 4 ahead of you in the immigration line.
