The past couple of days were sort of hectic, however, we managed to get a couple of things checked off the long list of things to be done.
We applied for the Canadian Social Insurance Number, which is used like the Social Security Card in the US. We also applied for National Health Insurance, which we found will take 3 months to "kick in". We know it will take a bit to get used to and to understand, the health care system they have here.
I've already had to make an appointment without the Health Insurance which we will have to pay out of pocket for; the fee is $75.00 for them to open/start a file, then a $165.00 consultation fee, plus extra for any lab work, which they can't tell me right now, about how much that will be. Wowza!
Kona and Kei-Ki seem to have settled down and relaxed a bit. I think they are realizing that they won't be put in their carriers and going for a car ride anytime soon! We have the windows open today, as there is a nice breeze, and they are thoroughly enjoying it! We couldn't do that in Texas!
I didn't think to pack any light jackets or sweaters for the evenings here, which have been a bit nippy! I was keeping tabs on the weather before we left and it didn't look like it was going to turn cooler. I was thinking 'oh, it's going to be warm"! Lesson learned!
Off to research car insurance, and find a place to get Bill's hair cut!
Stay tuned
