C'est Fini!! - Holy crap! I think I might have actually managed to finish all the last of the paperwork and line-waiting and completed the "official" parts of the immigration process! I now have: permanent resident status, an Ontario driver's license, an Ontario health card (got to love that after having had periods with no health coverage at all in the States), Ontario registration and plates for the Patty-wagon (i.e. my car) and a permanent social insurance number!!

I'm here legally, my cat is here legally (though she probably couldn't care less... girl cats are like that) and my car is bonafide and certified!

17 months. 17 loooong, expensive, paperwork filled confusing months.

Now, the real work of settling in and getting better acquainted with life in Canada begins.

I'll still be blogging away on this whole phenomena, though, so don't worry about this being my last entry or anything. I already have the next few ideas percolating in my head. The adventure continues!! Thank you everyone who has cheered me on through this whole process!!
