At last…I thought I would never see this day coming but last night, my husband surprised me with a much-awaited letter announcing I had become a permanent resident of Canada. It felt like forever, and it was a very straining process but it was all worth it in the end. I have now the same right as a Canadian citizen except I am not allowed to vote, I have to stay out of trouble, and make sure to live in Canada 2 years out of 5, every 5 years. I will receive my PR card as soon as I land in Canada !
We are so happy; it is just going to be so much easier now… I am so throwing a party when I get home on the 1st of July ! Canada day will have a special meaning for us this time around 
*huge grin on my face*

Welcome & thank you for visiting my blog ! My name is Deb, I am a 28-year old Parisian French expat mum and I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada with my husband and beautiful daughters Sixtine and Victoire. I am an amateur photographer, and I write about parenting, and the little things in life that matter. Stay in touch !
Congratulations! That certainly is worth celebrating
Thank you Lauren !
YEAH!
Exciting! I remember the relief when I became a permenant resident of the UK, and even bigger relief when I became a citizen! It feels safer knowing you can’t be easily kicked out of the country your baby and husband live in!
Definitely. I was really worried about that. I might try the citizenship in three years as well…so I won’t have any more restrictions ! Where are you originally from again?
Congrats!! You’re legal! =)
Haha Love how you put it ! Thank you !
Congratulations! That is so exciting, and such a huge weight off too!
Thanks
Congratulations!! xo
