16 Months To The Day We Started Our LDR...
.... we're ending it! 
On Wednesday, I got my Tier 5 visa approved to move from Canada - the UK.
On Saturday, I booked my plane ticket.
I leave on October 29 & arrive in the UK on October 30 - exactly 16 months to the day we started our LDR. I can't believe it's happening!!
Here's a timeline of my visa story, if anyone is curious:
August 1, 2012 - Submitted application to SWAP
August 3, 2012 - Received the email welcoming me to the SWAP program & telling me to gather my documents
August 17, 2012 - Finally gathered all those documents & submitted them to SWAP...
August 23, 2012 - Got the word from SWAP my application had been lodged & I could proceed with the obtaining a bank letter & booking a VAC appointment
August 23, 2012 - September 18, 2012 - Had a not so fun time trying to get a bank letter from my bank... 2/3 they sent me contained errors (such as missing stamps)! Ah well, one was right. Word of advice: don't bank with PC Financial!!
September 20, 2012 - Attended my VAC appointment
October 10, 2012 - Visa is approved!
So now it's just pack, purge, cancel phone, say goodbyes... if anyone has any advice for this busy time, let me know!
