The chat with the consultant's assistant was pretty straight forward. We have the Certificate of Permanent Residency and that's what we take to the border in addition to his passport. We get a copy of it and that's the document we would use when he applies for the Social Insurance card, applies for a Canadian pension or for having him put on my ( Read more... )

Been waiting for that paperwork to get to the consultant's office. CIC London didn't send it by courier, just regular post and to be fair, any time G. sent me a card it could take up to two weeks. I blame Canada Post and there has been a slowdown of sorts since they're teetering on the verge of a possible strike or lockout. Lucky they hadn't gone ( Read more... )

Went out to the Gothic Christmas Craft show on Saturday with my mom. She really enjoyed it! She loves the jewellry, the shiny things! They had so much there that's very different.

I've received the stuff G. sent and i'm going to see the consultant after work tomorrow. Crossed bits that the news is good and we can at least submit the application at least for my sponsorship part while waiting for the rest of G.'s medical results. I also want to see if the application can be submitted in my married name. I had filled out ( Read more... )

Our weather has been very spotty and cool lately with the sun popping up with no warning now and then. It's hard to plan anything. Saturday is the Pride parade and I wanted to go. The forecast is 40% possibility of showers. That could mean it will clear up and be really nice. It's happened before. Meanwhile, My mother is staying overnight Saturday ( Read more... )
