NEVER immigrate

Having a horrible day that was supposed to be good.  Mark and I were going to go down to Niagara today to go to the border and renew my visitors visa, then stop in Niagara and have dinner to celebrate our 1st anniversary.

So before we went we decided to look online and get info about renewing my visa.  Then we took a closer look at my actual visa and found out that you have to actually apply to renew your visa and it should be done at least 30 days before your visa expires.  My visa expires on the 12th. 

This made us mad because when we first got my visa the guys told us we could just go to the border and they would take care of it.  From what we looked at online we saw this was not the case.  We could have still gone to the border to try and do this, but Mark was afraid that if we did they might not let me back in.

So long story short, we did the application online and then found out it is going to take 60 days!!!!!  If I leave Canada now they aren't gonna let me back in until this goes through.  So that wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't been planning on going back to Indiana when Ann has her baby in a few weeks!  So now I am going to miss him being born!  And it is making me soooooo upset!  Ann is high risk, her having a baby is a big deal!  I am just soo disappointed and soo sad that I can't be there to meet the little guy.  Not to mention the fact that if I don't have a new visa by the time hanover comes around once we leave for Hanover I won't be able to go back to Canada with Mark.  At the latest it should come through the week after Hanover.

Here is the moral of the story.....DON'T immigrate!!  Don't let your kids immigrate!!!  It is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!  In the end it is our own stupid fault for not looking at my visa closely enough and leaving it to the last minute.  It just sucks and I am seriously upset about it all.

-Needless to say neither of us are in a mood to go out for our anniversary which just makes things suck even more.  Maybe tomorrow on our actually anniversary.
