Just to update everyone. Hubby landed safely on Thursday (Feb. 5) at midnight (technically it would be Friday morning). Although it was a night flight hubby enjoyed every minute of it, especially when he was landing in Toronto and seeing all the lights from the buildings. He was out the airport in about 30 minutes (His plane landed early too). The only question immigration asked him was if he was planning to go back to Jamaica for more of his things or did he bring everything that he needed. They took the COPR with his pic and he kept the second copy. They asked him if he had any questions and he said "Yes where do I go to pick up my suitcase" and they then directed him. He got his suitcase and he was out the door. My dad met him at the doors as I waited in the car, being 9 months preggers it was just too cold for me to waddle my way to the door. When he got to the car I got out and of course we hugged and couldn't stop smiling at each other. He attempted to walk over to the drivers side and I had to remind him that the passenger side is on the next side lol (as in JA they drive on the opposite side). We talked for most of the night (or should I say morning) and then....well you know! lol
Well its been 1 week today. He landed Thursday, and on Monday at 1pm hubby had a job interview with a really great company. I had arranged the interview prior to him coming and had emailed his resume to them. So for the interview I was able to sit in the room with him and I think that made him more relaxed. They didn't ask him much questions I think just 2 and mostly explained what they look for in their employees, discussed pay rate, work benefits, work schedule etc.......Well he got the job!!!
. The next day we went and got his SIN number and he opened a bank account. He started work on Wed and even made a few friends already, one who was also Jamaican and who knew some of the same ppl in JA as my husband. He said they were so friendly and welcomed him to the company. Today is his 2nd day at work, I cant wait to hear what his day was like today! All the best for everyone still waiting. ;D
