Pro's and cons of receiving PR visa
We recently received our visa's and are going to St. Stephen today to flagpole so we are feeling a little more laid back about the process and able to feel humour again. I was thinking of all the advantages of our current situation but suddenly all of them have another side to them.
Pro - after 3 years we finally have our visa's Con - we only have 3 weeks to land and I am working every weekend so we have to drive all the way to St Stephen and back in 1 day after a night shift. Pro - we can now get a SIN for our children and put them into slave labour to keep us in the style to which we would like to become accustomed. Con - now we live in Canada the kids do so many activities they probably won't have time to work until they are about 30! Pro - I am now longer on a work visa I can quit my job anytime I like. Con - the whole ****ing process has cost so much I will probably have to work until I die. Pro - we have found so many fun things to do (sailing/skiing/kayaking etc) since we lived here. Con - we spent so much on new toys we can't afford the time off to use them (well maybe we do a little). There must be lots more that others could add. Overall though, we have not visited the UK since we left almost 2 years ago and really have no desire to do so. Despite the con's, we wouldn't swap our new lives for anything. How about you? |

Actually you could get your kids a SIN when you were on temporary work permit as I did.
