At last, just got an email thru from CIC, our application for PR has been accepted. This is a huge weight of our shoulders as it means we are good to stay in Canada. Up to now we have been on Temporary Work Permits which means you can only stay for 24 months then you have to leave for 4 months. There are also other implications if we didnt get accepted, like when our present visas run out, jan would lose the right to work, we would not get permenant SIN numbers which makes obtaining credit difficult.
So thats it the waiting is over, all we got to do now is send our passports off to Seattle and when they come back we have to take a little trip down to the border, go round the flagpole and re-enter Canada to be welcomed back as Permenant Residents.
Gratz!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lyndon and family. It’s also very encouraging for those who are still waiting, because if they let you in, who will be refused?
ReplyDeleteI’m sure it makes Christmas a lot more special so; Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
