Permanent Residence soon!?!?

Olivia and I got some very encouraging news about Olivia’s PR application. I have been approved as “Sponsor” and Olivia’s application has been marked as “complete” – not quite approval, but the last step before it. Apparently we have to wait for the local office to contact us (how? letter? phone?) and then go through the final stage.
It took a very long time for this process (we submitted last May!), and the only feedback that you can get is the “wait times” listed on the government website. You feel kind of on hold “waiting for the other shoe to drop”, but at least the “wait times” entry was updated on a weekly basis, which gave you a sense of some kind of progress.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of the application process will be relatively quick, and painless. Maybe the PR card will arrive by Christmas!
