Our File is on the Move!

Today, our homestudy update file left our Agency for the ON Ministry for approval of the Change of Country to Ethiopia (from China). It should take 2-4 wks there.

I finally managed to get the balance of our other paperwork to the Agency, who will review it while we wait for Ministry Approval ... the only thing outstanding at our end is passport renewals ... but hopefully they will be in by the time the file comes back from the Ministry. Then the whole thing goes to Ottawa for "Authentication", then on to Ethiopia ... YAY!.

I am still hopeful of a proposal before Christmas. Cross whatever you've got for a quick turnaround all over!

Original article appeared in British Airways' inflight magazine, Impressions.
