Stage one of ye olde footworke is complete. Last week I got my visa photos done, made sure all of my support funds are where they're supposed to be and had my app checked over by my SWAP contact. Shocking levels of productivity detected!
My visa documents are now in Toronto being checked over by fresh eyes to make sure I didn't c*ck them up (a British expression - I'm practising!). From there they will be sent back to Ottawa so I can send them to NYC so they can be sent back to Ottawa so I can get a stamp. Bureaucracy!
My visa type is a working holiday, which falls under the category of "Youth Mobility Scheme." One thing I love about the UK is that there are no "plans" - only "schemes." I feel like this suits the underlying subtext of my personality... heh heh heh...
Tonight I'm headed back to Chez Maman et Papa in the Brunz. This is both for the purpose of visiting and to dump a bunch of stuff on them that I don't need to keep in my Ottawa apartment. It turns out that a two-stage international-via-interprovincial move isn't as simple as one might imagine. I really hope that Az gets into Teachers' College so that she can take over my apartment and I won't have to move my furniture. Oh, also it would be a good thing for her too, I suppose. Finding her life's calling and all that. But this is mostly about me.
The next stage of action will involve going into the British High Commission for BIOMETRIC SCANNING. I still don't know exactly what that will involve, but I'm kind of excited to find out...
73 days till I leave the country!
