So, Jeff and I got the first stage of our immigration approved on the 31st of August this year. We found out about a week after we got back off vacation in Ontario, which was a nice thing. So now, I can apply for an open work permit, and look for a job.
The second stage won’t be so easy though. Even though my children are not accompanying me to Canada, they do have to be found to be admissible, which means that my ex would have to take them for a medical examination in the UK, which he is point blank refusing to do. This isn’t good. It means that I MAY NOT be approved to live and work here. I have had family members talk to him for me (because he’s too cowardly to talk to me himself) but he’s not changing his mind. My only option now, is to get in touch with his solicitor and see if she can talk to him for me. If he still refuses, at least she will respond to me via letter, with an official solicitors letterhead letter, so I can send that to immigration at least, and hopefully it won’t be a problem. It’s just annoying that after doing everything he can to keep me from having contact with the kids, he doesn’t realize that it’s in his best interests to comply with immigration’s needs if he still wants to keep me from having contact. *Sigh* More on that as it happens I guess.
