If you missed the previous update, here it is: Wednesday’s Weekly Update No.5. But in short, last week involved a lot of email sending and this week is involving a lot of waiting for replies.
Canadian Boarder. It’s that middle week again in this strange new normal of ours. The week where my disappointment about Canada not opening has worn off and, rather against my will, my hope starts to grow that Canada will reopen their boarders or make some concessions which would allow me to enter. Once again, we anticipate knowing more about the US/Canada boarder by the 15/16th, then the rest of the world/Canada boarder by the 31st. And once again there is little hope of anything changing.
Nomads again. After two weeks back in the East living in a friend’s house, while they were on holiday, we have now commandeered my sister’s house while they bask in the Cornish sun. At least if Canada all falls through we’ll have some reference should we take up a career as House Sitters.
Making a break for it?! You may remember that last week I told you about my emails to the IRCC London and IRCC Canada. We sent emails explaining our situation (not for the first time!) in the hope that they would offer advice and/or confirm that we (well, I) had permission to travel to Canada. We’ve been hinging our hopes, with regards to making a break for it, on their responses. And what have we heard? Nothing. Which is rather disappointing. Plus the super high temperatures in Southern England are not helping make the waiting game any less frustrating.
What’s bothering Babs?
Babs’ Question: Are you still renting a place in Canada?
Yes, but probably not for much longer. The 15th August, our agreed date to review the situation with the landlord, is creeping closer. Little is likely to change over the next three days so it appears we will probably have to give up the house.
