Okayyyy..an update:
As of July 3rd I was approved for processing. In English that means in another 9-10 months I'll be a "Landed Immigrant". That is if hell doesn't freeze over and the creek don't rise. There are couple more things they want. Somehow my medical report has gone missing. I think it's the name thing. Immigration is using my maiden name. I'm using my married name. I think the medical report was done with my married name. They also want a police report from Texas. Yuck. It's such a pain to get this kind of stuff. Finding out where to get it from is a major headache.
I am also authorized to work in Canada. More forms, more money. Grrr..they could run the country on the fees they've received from me (well..Eli) so far.
I also needed a SIN (What?! Not enough sin already?!). That's a Social Insurance Number (same as a Social Security Number for Americans). I did find out that you can't be denied employment for not having a SIN but you do have to get one..eventually. At least that didn't cost any money.
I guess that's it. I don't expect to update this until I've "Landed".
