Getting Ready

With 10 calendar days to go until the immigration quota is reset, we are getting there with our application.

All forms are at least partially complete, and the only documents that are outstanding are new police certificates. The people who produce these have an SLA of 10 days, so they should be with us by Tuesday next week. I noted that the cheques for those were cashed today, so all seems in hand there.

Things are even looking organised with everything collated into a ring binder with one of those plastic pocket things for each section. It is now just a case of finishing off the forms, and ordering all the supporting documentation.

Then check the application against the instructions and check list, re-check, re-check again, book the courier, re-check some more, package up the application, unpack, re-check again and then repackage the application.

On the morning the courier will collect the package I'm sure we'll give it another check as well.

BUT WAIT!

There is one fly that may land in the ointment. Any day now we are expecting the Canadian government to publish the rules for the 2012/2013 application year. Hopefully they will stay the same, but there may be new rules introduced and the list of eligible occupations may change.

Whatever happens I just hope it doesn't delay or rule out our application (everyone should not cross their fingers for us and hope that this is not the case).
