Access Denied

by Chris Garrett on November 4, 2006

My parents recently found out their application to resurrect their Canadian landed immigrant status had been denied. This is quite a set back but not going to stop me pushing as hard as I can to get us back where we belong dammit. We are going to have to go the sponsorship route with me sponsoring my wife and parents (my daughter Amy and I have Canadian citizenship).

A friend told me he was getting bored of me banging on about moving to Canada all the time and I should “just go”. Unfortunately while I could “just go” on my own, I want my family to go with me (or as much as we can, my brother has a nice setup in London that he doesn’t want to leave which is fair enough). I can fully understand people getting cynical or bored of me talking about it though.

Recently I haven’t been quite as jaded about England as I was but still given the choice would much rather be in Canada. I’m sure there are a lot of things about the UK I will miss, probably friends and family most, but it just feels right that we should at least try living there.

For now I have to make do with living vicariously through Canadian blogs, flickr and planning vacations. I am getting twitchy, it is now more than 6 months since we were there last, I am not sure how we have lasted this long.
