° I was told I could apply for the Permanent Resident status at the same time as the renewal of my temporary card, saving one trip.
° I had to satisfy the official I have minimal language skills.
° I had to provide a copy of my police record.
° Six months later I received the approval letter and was told to present myself to the immigration office.
° I was given a list of documents to provide.
° To the bank to pay a fee.
° To the finance office to pay a tax.
° Back to the immigration office to present the receipts.
° They were accepted and I was told to return in two weeks to make the picture ID.
° Will I get the card immediately or have to return again? Who knows?
More than 10 steps, but I'm almost there. 😀
