So, Canada.
Yeees.
We are now starting to contemplate the possibility that we are going to be stuck* in the UK for somewhat longer than intended. Nothing is yet written in stone, but the current timeline for my getting a job in Canada means that Kathryn’s visa would probably run out before we knew if we could move. I’m not certain what happens if Kathryn leaves the country at the end of her Visa, and what that means regarding coming her coming back if I suddenly found out I couldn’t go to Canada in [short space of time]. I suspect however that it would be complex.
We are going to try ringing the Home Office and see if we can get a short visa extension (and the costs incurred in doing so), and the various implications of the other possibilities. My SEC assessment – they’re talking about the end of July. At the moment the newspapers are discussing flight disruptions for 6 months… which could make it even later, but even with ‘the end of July’ being the timeframe for the SEC assessment then things start to get really tight.
Well, probably. I’m assuming we’re still at 6 months from then, because essentially they said 6 to 9 months for the whole process, and I’m stuck just after the first 4-8 weeks segment of the registration process.
I guess at this point we just have to ‘see where we go’ with it all. It would be nice to be able to make some kind of plan though.
* Must try and be more positive and see it as an ‘opportunity’.
