I heard from the Canadian Consulate earlier this week. Finally, they have established a file number for me. I’m no longer a pending; I’m a number.
They got my name totally mixed up: made my first name my last name and a hideous middle name my first name. My last name was nowhere to be seen on the communication they sent me. How’d that happen? Maybe it all stems from the incompetence of the Kenyan immigration office that messed up my new passport. Dang! I wonder if I can get a completely new passport after 5 years. Well, the good news is that my country of birth now allows dual citizenship, so I can keep my citizenship there if I ever decide to take on another one.
Matters are now getting a bit more complex because I’m falling for a possible descendant of a Viking who is American and wants to live in Europe. And I’m planning to head to Europe myself about a year from now for a 3-year degree program. How’s all this gonna work out? US, Europe or Canada? Can I have all 3 cakes and eat them?
