Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

A good start!

Well, we've said goodbye to family and friends. The removal company has collected our stuff. We've got flight tickets. We're all ready to go! Except...

Just had an email from the new company to say that they are having trouble getting the work permit. The permit is likely to be almost a week late and we not allowed to enter Canada, even as tourists, before we have the work permit in hand! What does this mean for our plans? It means we now fly to South America at the end of the week and don't know when we'll be able to enter Canada! We really will be bumming around in Chile. I hope the weather's good.

    On your marks, get set, GO!

    Good luck guys - we'll be following your progress from cold ol' Cambridge. (Not as cold as Ottawa I'm afraid Sarah!)

    Your website's just like mine, except pink!

    Sorry I didn't get to see you both before you left. Have a great trip and don't forget your mittens. Hope the work permit gets sorted. In any case, from what I've heard, Chile is a great place to be bumming around in.
