    June 2014 - CEC applications

    I left the country since I needed a break and I thought by the time I came back I should have my CoPR and could land as a PR. Turned out I gave up my returning flight as obviously I didn't get the long-waited CoPR and my BOWP approved just 3 days before my flight. I still haven't updated CIC...
