It's official........I have a job offer


Today I got my Offer of Employment and Waiver of Citizenship letters through from the CF and also my Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO) letter from HRSDC.

My job offer is confirmed as a 4-year variable initial engagement (VIE) in the rank of Sgt. The AEO is open to 2013 which should be more than long enough.

These will make a welcome addition when I send off my documents to London and should help the immigration process run a little more smoothly.

The 120-day email has arrived

My new Blackberry Curve 8900 came into its own this afternoon. We were driving back from a meeting in Farnborough, winging along the M4, and the 120-day email arrived in the in-box......Woohoo.

Stage 1 is over, so onwards and upwards as they say. Time to start getting everything together to send off to London. I've already emailed the CFRG to see if my AEO has come back from HRSDC yet. That will add another 10 points onto the tally and will no doubt help our cause when they do the full assessment.
