i am actually grateful for the opportunity to live and work in Canada but sometimes the process pisses me the hell OFF. They make it as difficult as possible, that i am sure of.

Permanent Residence status is the next step, it's not Citizenship, i will not even be able to vote... YET..

i was required to submit letters from my last 10 years of employment verifying my claims of employment. Luckily they all responded and i have them now. Even with pay stubs and tax forms they want personal letters from my previous bosses. Good thing i was a good employee!

i was required to submit a language test. This test cost 375.00 plus hotel and travel to Ottawa to prove that i speak English. i understand that one must speak the national language in some way shape or form but really that whole process was a bit much.

Then the grueling forms that had to be filled out, the packet is humungous and it has to be mailed in to a receiving center then forwarded to the process center.. along with

$550.00.

It's not for the weak that's for sure!
