Well.....I had my heart-stopping moment today... PPR arrived by post! I was so shocked I had to go ask my neighbour to read it with me to make sure it was real and I wasn't dreaming! Can't wait to tell my husband. I'm wearing my roots canada shirt, we'll go surprise him at work when toddler 1 wakes!! My poor mum here in Australia is going to want to kill me. She knew we had applied but was in denial we would be leaving. Will be hard to break the news to her.
Here is the updated table, let me know if I need to change any of the details. Good luck everyone, it's magical, you never know what the day will bring. The frustration, patience, stress, anger, joy, worry, anxiety, heartache... all valid emotions because it IS incredibly stressful this waiting period so I feel for you who are still waiting like I was every day - checking that e-cas, email and post box like someone with OCD. The decision you want will also be here soon.
