Well, I guess I should introduce our story: we passed our medicals back in early June ('08). Sold our house (phew). Took the plunge and moved to Canada in August. We'd had assurance that the local school would take our kids (grade 2 and 4) prior to the visas being issued, so long as (a) we could provide proof of our application for residency and (b) the visas are granted within a year of starting school (so, fingers crossed, by August 2009!??).
We haven't heard anything further from CHC. We have sent a fax them (three weeks ago!) confirming the position and asking if there is anything further they require from us ... no response at all.
We couldn't book single flights due to not having our visas, so booked to return to the UK for Christmas. Hoping that something happens in time for us to be coming back in January as residents!
The school - and life here - is brill, couldn't ask for better. We were very happy to discover that we didn't need to re-sit a driving test - I surrendered my UK licence in exchange for an Ontario one (upon passing a sight test and paying a small fee!).
Anyway, hopefully this entry is the beginning of some more eventful ones in the near future!
