How to move to Canada: our story – part 10
You’ve probably started to think I changed my mind about immigrating. It’s been a long time since I shared any news from the Canadian front. ⠀
Let me remind you that at the end of December 2019 we submitted the documents. And now we have been waiting for almost a year. If anyone missed the details of the story, you can read them from the very beginning. link. There are already 10 articles there. ⠀
Honestly, I didn’t plan to turn this story into a long-running series. But, as you understand, 2020 made its own adjustments. ⠀
There has been no news or progress for a year. Previously, we at least received some response from Canada — extracts from our file saying the documents had been reviewed but no final decision had been made. The reply to my latest request was vague and formulaic... ⠀
And it seems clear that now the whole world is on pause. But nevertheless, this uncertainty and the absence of at least some specifics, deadlines, and prospects are very depressing. ⠀
Plus, our immigration medical exam results have expired - these documents are valid for a year. Normally, Canada should send a request to repeat the medical exam in this situation. But they are silent here too, and it is not clear what to do. ⠀
I’m not at all used to such situations and they are very difficult for me. I’m a person who takes action. It takes me a second between stimulus and response. And here you cannot influence the processes in any way. You just sit and wait. At the same time, you are literally torn from within by the desire to do at least something. ⠀
This is probably why I now put a lot of energy into work, into some new activities, into training. Just so as not to think about what is happening with our documents and with the Canadian border. And still, the topic of immigration, no matter how you look at it, permeates all areas of life. ⠀
Sometimes you don’t even dare to buy new clothes, because you immediately think, we’ll move soon and then drag them with us... Not to mention the larger household purchases that are now necessary. And it turns out that we not only live in a state of exhausting anticipation, but also in physical discomfort. ⠀
