Confirmation

And so to follow up the post below, when I got home this evening there was a very mixed mailbag:  the obligatory junk, my TV/internet phone bill, this month's When Saturday Comes, and a white envelope marked 'Citizenship and Immigration Canada'.

That means that was the date my application was deemed complete, and then sat a further three months on someone's desk, or in a cupboard, or whatever. Three months! The instructions (click to enlarge) are fairly simple. My redaction skills are also enough to suggest to me that if I get bored of the chemistry malarky, that I could have a career in the intelligence services instead....
