I miss Canada. I haven't been there since last August. Last Yule-tide was enotsola's turn to be here, and then he was here in October too for a weekend, so it's been quite a while since I got a stamp in my passport. Kinvention North is coming up pretty soon, but it's still 2.5 weeks away.

I wanna Jamaican patty.

And a Sleeman's.

And a double-double.

Delivered.

Eh.

S'il-vous plait, merci.

I have an application for permanent residency in (Acknowledgement of Receipt received last July), but like any other country, immigration involves a lot of waiting. I wouldn't expect my Initial Assessment until at least April and more likely June-ish.

I'll trade places with you? You come stay in Canada and I'll go back to california. After Kinvention North *grins*

Permanent residence in Canada can take from 2 to 7 years. I hope you've got much patience!

I was expecting 2-3. Hopefully not 7. Even so I'm told that residence in the US takes even longer than that (8-10 sometimes) so maybe I should be grateful.

I'm only going to be there about four and a half days, sheesh! How much coffee do you think I drink, anyway? ;)

There was a report just a few weeks ago about them trying to change the system because of it taking up to 7 years to get a response.

My take? If they manage to change the system before they get to your request, I'd be betting on even longer. *grumbles and rips up a few governments to appease frustration* However, seeing how they were talking about the system, if you're coming from the US it should be closer to the 2-3 years than the 7 years. People from asia were the ones complaining about 7 years. :)

You're right, US is worse. Glad I got my visas way before anything ever mattered :)
