Milestones: 5 Long Years


It finally happened! May 12th, 2016 is a new favourite date! The above picture has nothing to do with this, but it shows my little family all snug and together (and now forever).

Tom finally got his permanent residency and now we are established here in Canada and can finally settle down. The whole process took around 5 years. Some people have been asking how it all panned out so here is how it worked FOR US:

2011-2014: Tom was living in Liverpool, finishing school and applying for Work Visas.
February 2014: Tom got a one year work permit and moved to Canada.
October 2014: We got married and applied for a residency.
February 2015: Tom got a new work permit.
March 2016: Tom was contacted for his medical for his residency.
May 12th, 2016: We were told of the appointment about a week before, went to immigration and signed his papers!
