Finally Developments......

At last we received a request from the Canadian Embassy to do our medical tests. And this is very good news, it probably means we are approved to stay in Canada as Landed Immigrants pending the results of the medical. And me being a project coordinator ( ;-) ) I had anticipated this request; we were already tested on December 23rd of 2009, so we gain a couple (6-8) of weeks. And to be honest its about time. Next week February the 4th it is exactly 3 years since we lodged our stage 1 application. Truthfully I never expected it to take this long. When arriving in September 2008 I really thought I would take like 8 months or so to finalize. We are not there yet, but the dark cloud lurking at September 2011 is just a bit less dark now. The medical should pose no problem as the doctor is obligated to tell any major problems that might occur as a result of the test. It looks like we are pretty healthy at age 50 and over. Good to know. And yes nurse Penny is very wishful thinking. You gotta have dreams, right.
