We're here!
Hi everyone.
My family and I have arrived in Calgary
No problems with the protestors at Heathrow, flight was delayed by an hour due to congestion. Immigration was easy - definately pays to have paperwork organised in one file - I couldn't believe some people infront of us in the queue who couldn't find important paperwork and spent minutes frantically searching pockets etc!
Our condo is very nice and will do until our furniture arrives late September. Hopefully by the end of today we should have sorted our social numbers, AHCIP, driving licenses and bank account. Then we start looking for a car!
Still adjusting to time difference, it's now 5:20am here - my son got into bed at 3am and kicked me out! Give it a few more days!!
Anyway, we're really glad to be here and our experience two days in is very positive.
Cheers

We when emigrated we went into Calgary. They were so nice it really was a nice end to a truly awful and stressful day. We were the only ones aswell. Was confusing them all banging on about getting windscreen insurance... only after a week and noticing all the crack screens on the cars we understood why.
Good luck and enjoy.
