Hello, People....
I finally collected the visa on the passport yesterday at 2:30pm from the Canadian Embassy.....and there was nothing leafy or maple about it.... funny....(I was actually expecting a maple leaf somehow embossed in the visa or something....lol)...Anyway, I carefully looked through it to make sure the spellings were correct, and the lady gave me two copies of the COPR. She said congratulations....
The guards at the entrance were very nice. (By their disposition, in addition to the joy you're probably feeling, it is actually very difficult not to tip them.....you probably have a few cedis left anyway.....)
I took a taxi in company of two people I met at the embassy back to the Airport....at 8 cedis. Thank God, Aero was actually on time, although we had to wait a long time inside the airplane after boarding for some paperwork to be done in the airport. Finally landed in MMIA at 8:15pm, into the darkness of PHCN outage.....I kept looking at the visa on my passport, feeling surer with every step in the darkness that I had made the right decision.....
I ended up in my room, exhausted from the day's journey at about 9:40pm, giving thanks to the Almighty that this PR journey is finally beginning...
I want to say a big thank you to everyone on this forum. You have been my courage.....you have been my patience......you have been my comfort......you have been my encouragement.
By the Grace of The Almighty, all our aspirations, our dreams, our updates shall all come true. AMEN!!!!!
