Ontario here we come...well for 3 weeks!

We're off to Ontario for a 3 week holiday next week. Its been over a year since we were last there which feels like forever. In my head I like to think of it more as going home for 3 weeks whilst we're temporarily working in UK (lol!!). Our plan now is to go PNP route which of course requires me to get a job either in a University or College....dead easy yeah? In the meantime I'm trying to complete a Masters degree in Online and Distance Education....trying being the operative word!!
Whilst over on this trip we're meeting up with friends, may view a couple of houses and are looking at Universities for our eldest two with a view to them starting in 2010/11. We're looking at the uni's now as we have no idea when we'll next get out to Ontario and the kids need to make informed decisions! So on with the packing.......

One year into the wait!!

This past year of waiting has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I joined a social networking site....mymuchmor.com.......which has been a godsend! Canadian Immigration is certainly not for the faint hearted and I definately need all the sopport the site offers. Being able to speak to people in the same boat as me makes all the difference. Its mixed emotions when others 'land'. I'm gutted that its not us but excited to move another place up the queue1
It is now looking as though the best way to enter Canada is with a job which is not as easy as it sounds. We are part of the September 2006 to Feb 2008 Simplified Skilled Worker Applications but the immigration procedure is now changing and we could feel the backlash.
