Drop the dead donkey...

...this is far bigger news. I realise I'm way behind (as usual) on blogging and like to do things (roughly) in order, but I found out this week that my Permanent Residency here in Canada has been granted, which is fabulous news! I checked e-CAS the other day and instead of 'In Process' it said 'Decision Made', which sent my heart racing. In most cases this is good news but occasionally it isn't, so I didn't want to count my chickens...but the following morning I received an email asking for my passport to be sent to the London office so they can issue my visa...hurray!

I hurried down to UPS to courier my passport yesterday, which ended up costing an extortionate $140 to get to London and back! But I suppose it's worth it for the peace of mind and as soon as it's back I can go down to the border to 'land'. Then I'm all done and legal. Phew, what a relief.
