Six months

For those of you keeping track, today is the six month anniversary of when I arrived in Canada.

Does it feel that long to you? It feels like it's just flown for me!

(Bear in mind that it's a little over seven months since I actually registered as a permanent resident; the main reason I didn't post anything for that anniversary is that I forgot)

My permanent resident card needs to be renewed every five years; I need to be resident for two years in that time. Well, 730 days - I'm allowed to leave the country now and again. So I'm already a quarter of the way there.

The plan is to apply for citizenship once I can - the requirement for that is that I need to do it three years after I became resident, and the current processing time is somewhere around a year, apparently.

So there we are; I wonder if I should make a cake to celebrate?
