Pre move blues?
Hi,
I received my temporary work permit a couple of weeks ago and now I'm all booked up to leave for Canada in a couple of weeks. I'm in my early 20s and looking forward to an exciting time, but recently I've been feeling a bit down about the move.
Has anyone experienced this? I'll be moving away on my own, so it's going to be a pretty big change. I'm really finding it hard to focus at the moment on what to pack and arrange before I go.
Anyone got any tips for battling the pre-move blues?
Thanks!

Cheers. I'm planning on travelling light. Not bothering to get anything shipped over (yet, anyway). If it doesn't fit in a couple of suitcases, it's not coming...

There are a few of us here in Newfoundland, so feel free to ask any questions.

I've felt like that when I've moved to different areas in the UK - even when I've hated the shithole I was leaving behind. I think it's because it feels like you're leaving part of yourself and your life there.
But you're moving on your own, to another country - it's bound to feel daunting. I think you're just got to remember that no change is permanent and if you don't like it, it's easily reversible.
Good luck with your move.

Hi, I'm moving to St John's too! I'm currently waiting for my work permit from the Canadian embassy which really sucks.

Mine took around a month to come back from the embassy. I submitted it in early December, and a couple of weeks later they asked for a Police Certificate - which takes around 10 days. I submitted that just before Xmas and received my work permit on the 10th January.

I'll be working for a video games company, I'm really looking forward to it!
