Please keep post the progress. Best wishes to this final section for you and hope IRCC gives you a final settlement to this beautiful country!lol, it's only a short 12 years combined with 2.5 yrs undergrad (transferred from China) + 2 yrs MSc (I wanted to become a professor/scientist at the time, so went for PhD) + 4 yrs PhD (then I want some "life" like normal people, so no more school or post-doc for me) + 8 month self-employment + 1.8yrs job (yet still working with profs), so that's it! Time flies!
