Arrggghhh!
We are waiting for the Interpol police clearance to be able to get started on the Home Study. We went to our local police station for fingerprints almost 3 weeks ago. The lady there said we only had to send our prints to an address in Ottawa, but she seemed rather unsure. We sent everything, with a return envelope and a small note saying that this was for Interpol checks and to call my cell phone if anything was missing.
Today, I got an RCMP envelope in the mail. I was all excited: we were going to be able to move on to the next step!
Well, the envelope had our forms, untouched, in it. It also had a printed sheet of paper saying that we had to send a money order or certified check to the Receiver General for Canada, for $25 per person.
It took them 3 weeks to tick the little box next to the unpaid fees statement... I just can't imagine how long it's going to take them to check our fingerprints in their database!
Deception, deception.
I find it hard to be patient with bureaucrats...
