I’m finally here.

September 29, 2023 was the day I filed my application to the consular. If all goes well, I will find myself being granted a Study Permit so I can study in Canada and eventually lead to me working on my life there.

I feel…neutral. It’s weird. I’ve had mixed feelings about the entire affair for quite some time now. I’m neither excited at the prospect of moving to a new country and effectively starting over, nor can I see myself being disappointed if I get denied the permit.

I’m just neutral about it.

I understand that not many people are afforded the opportunity I am given, and I am forever thankful for my parents for all of this.

But yeah. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Recently, I was told I need to come into the application center so that they can take my photo and at the same time take my fingerprints. But beyond that, not much of an update. This could very well be the start of the next chapter of my life, if things go accordingly.
