The start!!!

Once back in UK Hubby made the suggestion of moving to Canada.... OMG!!! This was probably due to reading the emails that had been flying back and forth between me and 'S' on ways to persuade him to emigrate. So at the end of May 2007 we applied via the simplified skilled worker route with me as the principle applicant! The kids were all for going, even the eldest who I thought may decide against it. The youngest was a bit unsure but that was to be expected. Now all we had to do was wait for our AOR (receipt from the Canadian Embassy) which would tell us when we would next hear from them. We would then have about 6 months to add on to cover the submission of paperwork , medicals and visa's and this would give us an estimated date fro landing!!
On July 16th 2007 the AOR arrived and stated that we would next be contacted in 42-48 months time meaning we wouldn't be likely to land until 2011!!!
