Mari and I always had the dream to live outside Brazil. When she was 17 she lived for a year in the US and had an experience that I always dreamed. To live in Canada is a good option to this. It's relatively easy and we fulfill the requirements.

There's the necessity to assess the proficiency in English and the IELTS is the required test. To study we bought an preparatory kit so we could learn the format of the test.

As time goes by, in every day we feel the necessity to think about our desires. If we want to buy something, there's always the thought if we really need it now or if we can wait until we get to Canada. In this thoughts there's also some related to other minor things, like boring neighbors that don't respect the condominium laws.

When we were studying about the immigration process we realized that we would only need to send the whole documentation about 8 months after the beginning of the process. So I took the IELTS examination, but the points that I got weren't enough to complete all that is needed. The pass mark is 67 and we got 65. So I'll need to retake the test and improve my grades to earn this two missing points.

As the documentation will only be sent a few months after the opening of the process I'll have enough time to retake the test, so we decided to already start the process by sending the initial form and paying the tax.

Now the next step is to wait their confirmation of the opening. The IELTS exam will be on Dec 1st.
