So, after many months of waiting i have finally got my permanent resident papers through. I cant explain how delighted me and my family are with this as we absolutely love living here and genuinely call it our home now. When the club first asked me if i would be interested in applying for my residence many months ago i can actually say it was not something i had even considered. But as time went on and i had my first few meetings with immigration etc, it actually dawned on me that this was the place i was meant to be in. Everything made sense, from the way my kids have settled in so well at school to the many friends my wife has made in the local community. Of course all the stuff that has happened to me involving Toronto FC personally, i could never of dreamed about, but this a club that i am immensely proud to be involved with and hope to grow with for a long time to come. I have also got little bits and pieces going on off the field like my involvement with Mike Yack at ‘Fabu Marketing’ where we are building 1st class websites for pro-athletes in various sports. I am also now involved with the Thornhill Soccer club and overseeing their coaches & teams, this gives me great pleasure as i am really interested in seeing how we can develop youth soccer to an even greater level. And last of all i am looking forward to working with all the people at the Childhood Cancer Foundation-Candlelighters Canada. These guys are doing a fantastic job and have asked me to help out and try spread the awareness of what we can do to help. I will be doing my bit with various fundraisers and auctions to try and raise some much needed cash.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Also i have  to thank everyone at the club especially Earl Cochrane who has helped push this through, and lastly to Monica And Ralph at immigration who have worked really hard in putting all the paper work together.
