Yorkies are now in Canada

Arrived safely in Calgary yesterday at 15:05 Canadian time. Flight was good but long with no in-flight entertainment as the whole TV/movie system had broke !!! Bad Times
Had a lovely lady sat next to me though and we managed to keep ourselves entertained.

When the flight landed I headed over to customs with the card that you are given on the plane, I told the customs guy that it was my intention to apply for an open work permit. He stamped my card and sent me over to the immigration offices. The lady that helped me there was the same officer that had issued Lee with his Temporary Work Permit 10 days earlier and she remembered him so she was fully up to date with the scheme that is running in Alberta for Truckers wives/spouses. I had with me a copy of Lee's passport, our common law declaration (this was notarized in the UK), a copy of Lee's work permit and contract of work with H&R, my police check and a copy of Lee's. Things could not have gone smoother I was issued with my work permit and was sent to the cashier to pay my $150. After collecting my bags I headed out to meet Lee.

Lee collected me from Calgary and we headed straight to A W's for a burger (who says romance isn't dead eh?) I was a little emotional on the drive up to Lethbridge, it had been a stressful few days with the build up to the move and also seeing Lee again was great. It was lovely and sunny for our drive back to Lethbridge which cheered me up no end.






We drove around the west side to check out and potential rentals as this is the first thing on the to do list. Will keep you all posted
