While waiting and waiting and waiting for many many years (during which the Canadian authorities changed the rules twice, each time putting us further back in the queue behind others who had applied after us) we fantasized about our new life and what we could do - own a horse, have a garden, have chickens in the garden, grow our own veg.
We realised over time that working in IT had no part in these dreams and was rather something of a blight so we started thinking about other things we could do instead. We still haven't come up with a VIABLE alternative... but read on we are going with an UNVIABLE (is that a word?) one.
So the dream started to change... we looked for smaller resorts where it would be cheaper to buy something and perhaps we could afford a bit more land and get work as ski instructors or rent part of the house as holiday accomodation.
The residency kept dragging on, but this was now a good thing because we were going to need more money now to get this new dream started.
The dream was now to move to a place called Rossland which is near Fernie but smaller (close to the US border and in the Rockies) and give up IT for ski instruction and holiday letting.
