Landing Story
Hubby's flight from Kingston to Toronto, Canada was scheduled for 1:15pm (Jamaica time). We spoke late into the night because we both couldn't sleep and he still needed to pack LOL! At 9am he started his journey from Clarendon to Kingston and after making a few stops reached to Kgn airport to check in around 11am. He texted me letting him know he checked in and was by the boarding area chilling out. During this time he made his calls to some family members as noone knew he was leaving (some ppl too badmind lol). During his flight I was at work and tracking it all the way...all my coworkers knew and were tracking it with me!! At 3pm, after doing nothing all day but tracking I decided to go home lol!! I went to the nail salon and got a pedicure and then went home to shower and go pick up my hubby!! 6:17pm Toronto time the flight landed! I was still at home as I live only 10mins from the airport....I left my house at 6:45 with my mom and nephew and they posted up in the arrival area while I went inside..
Hubby landed and followed the crowds through to customs and was directed to immigration. Waiting in the line he described that everyone looked so serious like Russian soldiers (lol!) But he was directed to a nice lady who asked him a few questions about where he was going, purpose of visit etc and she reviewed his passport, visa and copr. She signed and stamped the copr and stapled it to his passport after making him sign both copies of the copr. She then explained the pr card and that it will be mailed to our address. She then asked hubby if he would like to apply for his social insurance number at the airport and explained that it's easier to get it done there. He said yes and she paged someone on the intercom and showed him the direction to walk to get his SIN.
As he was walking in the direction a lady welcomed him in her office and said "Welcome to Canada!" She took all his info and within 20mins he had his Sin number. He took out the forms I asked him to fill out for the list of items he's bringing over and asked when he should submit it....she laughed and said they no longer ask for the form because they do it all computerized now. Lol ooops.....
She showed him where to go and at the next checkpoint a man took his passport and saw he was a landing immigrant, he said "Welcome to Canada!!" And gave him a bunch of pamphlets regarding a newcomer to Canada and a big red reusable bag"..this bag made him stand out because at each checkpoint afterwards everyone welcomed him to Canada and gave him more pamphlets lol!
He made it to the luggage area and he said this was the longest wait...finally he found his bag and proceeded to follow the crowds to the exit.
I was waiting front and center right where he could see me....he came out and our eyes met and I followed the barrier to the entrance and we immediately hugged for what felt like hours! (Maybe a minute lol) and chuups of course lol!! We then went to find my mom and nephew outside and they both ran out of the car and did a group hug!!
Lol we then went out for dinner at Montana's and hubby was so shocked that the restaurant was like old western and we were drinking out of mason jars lol!
The first night sleeping with my hubby at my side in Canada and waking up to his smile was bliss!!!
We have a day of seeing his aunts and cousins here later on for dinner and I'm sure it will be tear jerking!!!! Thank you jamfam for your love and support
