it's finally here........
 
The day has finally come (well, it will have tomorrow) for me to depart these fair shores, throw my burberry cap to the wind and prepare my bottom for a possible rubber gloved welcome to canada.
I have to say that I can't wait. I have no idea what my future may hold, but I promise to face it head on, with my chin(s) held high and a stiff upper denture.
so tally-ho and pip pip my fair maiden, koogar's inbound :rolleyes:

Good luck Koog.

I'm sure you'll settle in quickly. Make sure you're back posting on the forums, and letting everyone know the ins and outs of living there asap.

All the best.

Had my LMO okayed the other day, work permit paperwork in process

Got myself a job on Stratford, Ontario

Hoping to stay in London, Ontario

Hopefully moving sometime end of August, depending if house sells and completes in time for end of August

Ah, I get it now.....weren't you the one asking about travelling distances from London to Stratford a month or so ago? We lived in SW Ontario ourselves in 2004, 30 mins north of London.....visited Stratford many times - a really nice town. I'm sure once you're here though Eddie, and you take in the distance and driving route from London to Stratford everyday, you might want to consider living a bit closer to Stratford.....St. Mary's is just 15 mins away and is a lovely place, quiet but nice. Not trying to be pushy in my opinion, just offering a little advice from someone who lived there once ;) It's all something you will discover soon enough once you're over here, which I hope won't be long once you sell your house :)
