At the end of this month my wife will no longer be employed. She submitted her resignation letter in mid march and has been training her replacement for the last couple of weeks.
Yesterday my university had the mid-term teachers meeting. At the meeting I submitted my resignation letter and I will cease to be employed at the end of August. Lucky me, I get two months of salary for the summer vacation while I’m getting myself set up in Canada.
Things are definitely accelerating as the move approaches. Later today the moving company is coming to our home to do an estimate on how much it will cost use to ship our stuff. We’ve already decided that shipping furniture is just not worth it, so it’s a matter of figuring out how much our other stuff is going to cost. clothes, books, toys, photos, momentos, knick knacks, dishes, computers etc..
Once we hear back with the total cost, we’ll re-evaluate and probably put a bunch of stuff up for sale and either give away or throw away other stuff.
There’s just over two months until I’m in Canada. We’re starting to think about what kinds of paperwork or documentation will be necessary once we arrive. The thing is other than immunization records for my kids and my daughters school records we can’t really think of anything. Wondering if anyone who has gone through the process could share their experience about documentation that they needed once returning to Canada from overseas.
Would rather get everything I need now, rather than get surprised once I’ve landed and then have to deal with it long distance.

update
Just remembered that one of my colleagues recommended that I get a record of car insurance to help with my rates when I return.
Only two months and fifteen days until I am in Canada and then another three weeks and my wife and kids will be there as well. Next Saturday the moving company is coming to our house to give us an estimate. Once that’s done we’ll know what we are going to move and what’s going to be sold, given away, or trash. I have sold or given away some of my teaching resources and books, but will have a lot more once this estimate is done.
In other news the kids have started talking more about what they want to do in Canada. Today my daughter has asked to go fishing. I told her, she’ll get to go fishing when Grandpa comes to visit as that is one of his favorite pastimes. They are also excited that there is no school on Saturdays and are really looking forward to their first Canadian winter – snow snow snow.
As for myself I’m looking forward to driving in Canada or better put, I“m looking forward to no longer driving in Korea. Four times this week I was almost hit by a car running a red light – one of those times I was a pedestrian.
