I've just moved to town
I also wanted to thank everybody that responded to my "what to do with my life" thread I posted some months ago - your advice was hugely valuable in deciding for a practical course of action!
for now, I'm in a downtown hotel trying to find a more definitive place to rent - My adorable french bulldog flew with me and now we're both ready to start life anew!
Come october, I got a course in visual and games programming that should cover all those things I should have had in college but ended up having to teach myself over google and wikipedia
then I plan to get a work permit, so I can get a job, and while i'm at it, I'll apply for the federal skilled workers immigration program that will allow me to stay permanently. Then after the minimum time of residence is achieved, I'll file for canadian citizenship!
things are finally back on track! these were by far the most extreme times I've ever been faced with in my 28 years - having gotten a handle on it does indeed make me feel like anything is possible!
And so far, I do feel like my hand-picked choice of a new place to live has paid off quite amazingly! People here are very friendly and there's so much green things everywhere! My dog is also enjoying greatly how pleasantly she can be walked outside! (can't do that in Brazil - you'd risk many evil ways of crime and death)
and yep - I do not have any relatives, friends or previous acquaintances whatsoever here - but that's not only OK, I'm really having a blast!
so that's that - this was my most major life event to date! :thumbup:
tomorrow I got my first viewing of a place to rent already - that's great considering the hotel's gonna get mighty costly if this takes too long to resolve :lol:
