Helpful Links & Websites
Mason found this nifty website the other day - to be honest, I had no idea it existed! We are starting to slowly get excited (and anxious) about our upcoming move. I think the coolest thing I felt when I looked at the site was the fact that in the languages displayed to the right I saw Greek. I've so been longing to be part of a Greek Community again and just seeing that made my heart swell.
So, for all of those visitors (new and old) to LWB I thought I would give you a listing of sites that have been invaluble to us while we were "in process". Hopefully, for those of you following your dream like we are...this will help to pass the time till the next letter :-)
Ontario Immigration (Looks like a great site for helping to plan your first few weeks in Ontario. I'm sure other provinces will have something like this as well.)
Carolyn's Canadian Immigration Information (We found this a while back, and even though Carolyn hasn't updated it in a while it provided us with a good long look at the whole process.)
We Move To Canada (Of course, I can't leave out the two people that started it all, and helped me to find my sanity! Check out the How to section on the right side of the blog.)
Government of Canada (It's always good to learn about the system you are moving into!)
Canadian Immigration for Same-Sex Partners (A little GLBTQI specific website for immigration.)
Canada Border Service Agency (No one ever seems to tell you about that mysterious declaration form listing all your worldly possessions that's needed when you finally land. Here is the form from the web for downloading)
Newcomers to Ontario (Specific for Ontario, but if you do some searching I'm sure they have one for other Provinces.)
Becoming Canadian (A great website by the CBC - I think it was meant to educate the Canadian public about immigration, but it's helpful none-the-less.)
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (Of course I can't leave out the place where you have to start all of this.)
Hope it helps.
