Foreign Affairs!
By the title of this blog, you may think I'm having a fling with a lady from away. Not the case, although that may be a neet idea! What I have done though is apply for a passport, not that I have any immediate travel plans. But who knows when that could change, right? Anyhow, I was born in Luxembourge, overseas, so my docmentation is a bit different. Along with my birth certificate (which is completely in French), I needed to submit what's called a Certificate of Birth Abroad. It states on that certificate that I have been duly registered as Canadian citizen, so I do not anticipate any problems. Also, passport photos are required - and if you ever have one of those taken, do not crack the remotest smile or open your mouth a fraction of a millimetre. I had to have mine taken twice - they are very fussy. You also need a "Guarantor"- someone who will authenticate your identity - he or she must be a certified person for Passport Canada to accept. Above that, you need to have two references, such as co-worker or someone who has known you over two years preferably. Quite the procedure. If and when I get my passport, it will be a valuable document to be stored in my SDB. And they expire after 5 years - so I had best make use of it before then if I get it. Where to go?

Welcome back!!! It sounds like there is a lot involved, in getting a passport.
Maybe a trip to Australia? Now that would be so much fun. You'd get to see Mike and his family!!!
