Hello all,
My journey has (for now at least) come to an end - I went home and checked my mailbox over lunch, and found my nice new shiny PR card waiting for me!
It's a GREAT relief to not have to worry about forms, or deadlines, for five whole years... until I renew the card
And it's the end of the journey for now, because I fully intend to become a Canadian citizen as soon as is possible. I hope that Bill C6 will work its way through government quickly, so that the residence requirement for citizenship will be reduced. If it does, I'll be able to start my application in 2018 rather than 2020. *fingers crossed*
Once again, huge thanks to everyone here - this has been a rollercoaster ride, and an excellent 'support group'; plus a great place for us to share tips and experience, and generally just vent our frustration.
I'll likely still lurk around reading things (as I have been since landing in June)
