So, I had a letter from the Canadian Consultate today. My application for permanent residence is in the final stage of processing.

And what does that mean, I hear you ask?

Well, basically I have 60 days to send them my passport, four more ID photos and $975 CA, and in return I get a shiny visa that's valid for travel until the 6th January next year.

*lets that sink in*

Yes, I got it. Yes, I'm going to Canada to live and work for a minimum of two years. Yes, I can take my life off 'hold' and start actually planning the rest of the year.

*grins* I can't believe it. I've been wanting this for so long and now it's happened.

And eight days before my birthday, too. Best bloody present I've had in ages.

CONGRATULATIONS! *boogies for you*

[deathpixie]

*beams* Thanks, Sass-Kitty. Still trying to figure out whether to run around laughing like a loon or burst into tears. Possibly both. Or, failing that, trying to get Phil to come down the pub with me. ;)

Is wonderful. Except you know, pouty, because you'll be leaving me. For two years. Pout, pout.

Pout, pout, pout.

Actually, not that pouty, just discovered "pout" is a really fun word to type :).

Well done, sweetie. Go, kick arse, party, seduce those Canadians with your wit, style and charm.

Congratulations!

Must be a wonderful feeling, to get your life out of a holding pattern and move it forward with what you want to do.

I'm so happy for you. Kick ass and take names in the Land of the Maple Leaf!

PS - And hey, ten hours by car is far easier than twenty-some-odd in the air, neh?

Goddammit. Our plan to get all the cool people to Brissy is delayed again for 2 1/2 years. *sighs mournfully*

They'd be mad not to want you, you know that. I'm glad they seem to realise that too.
