When we got home from Jamaica there was some very exciting news waiting for us in the mail.  My permanent resident status is going to be decided after an interview on September 25th at 10:30am.  By being a permanent resident I no longer need a work permit and pretty much have all the rights of a Canadian.

Sean and I will be going to the Vancouver Immigration Centre to be interviewed based on the paperwork that was submitted back in February.  After the interview they decide one way or the other on my status, the good sign is that they are having me bring my photo’s for my permanent resident card.

If all goes well at the interview than I should be officially Mrs. Sean Payne by my birthday.  I have been waiting to change my name until after the immigration process which means I can finally do all of that paperwork once my status has changed.

Keep your fingers crossed on September 25th that everything will go well.  Updates to follow after our interview, hopefully good ones :)
