I misread that letter from Immigration
I just took a closer look at it. It wasn't forwarded to the regional office; it was forwarded to the Temporary Resident regional office. With several warnings that I can't outstay the expiration date on my passport. And I'll be receiving further instructions "in good time."
I give up.
ETA - Y'all have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? It's because I never posted about that letter; I was talking to my brother about it over the weekend. :head desk: A few weeks ago I got a letter from Immigration - I believe it was the day that Dar left, so I was a little busy, and I just gave it a cursory once-over. I was dreading bad news, and I just didn't want to deal at that moment. It said (I thought) that my file had been forwarded to the regional office for further action. Cool! Things were finally moving along! Today I took a closer look, and, as I wrote above, this isn't about the open work visa or my permanent residence - it's about another freakin' temporary visa. Which I did not apply for! Nothing in that paperwork referred to a temporary visa! I hate those guys. So here I was, getting my hopes up that I could get my health card in another month or so. Looks like we're back at Step 1.
