Pleased to meet you Dale.
My big question about immigration is when to file my application. I have that work commitment here and I know landing papers are only good for a finite period, so I need to time things carefully in order to be free to move when those papers come through.
In the interim, I'm going to sit for my CDN boards and get my license to practice as an RN (I have a BSN, which is what the provinces are working towards) and open a CDB savings account. That way I can easily prove that I have the requisite funds to resettle (though as an RN employability is NOT going to be a problem) and that I am able to work ASAP once I do arrive. Hopefully that will help my case with immigration.
If you can think of anything else I can do to improve my odds of acceptance I would love to hear them
I'll be putting my three children on my application as well, ages 13, 15, and 17 currently. With respect to my eldest, how many days a year must she physically reside in Canada to keep her status as a landed immigrant? She may choose to attend University in the States as opposed to Canada but does not want to lose her imigration status.
Wild,
I have a Curves membership now and like it. Its quick, easy, and reasonably convenient, though I do wish they had Sunday hours.
There is a nice sense of community as well, and that helps keep up the motivation to go. Other than that, I'm on my 1st week of WW, doing the flex plan. So far no loss (pouting a tad) but I am sticking to my daily points range, so I'm hoping I see a change soon.
