We just had to fly over.

We've given notice at our apartment.

We sold our cars.

Everything we own is on this truck.

We're like ready to move.

And the first hurdle we have to overcome is the airport experience.

So interesting to note the way that you apply for a work visa to go from Canada to the U.S.

is you have to apply for the visa at the airport on the day that you're leaving.

Yes, because if you get denied, you've given up your whole life.

And I asked multiple times, be like, can I not go to an embassy before and do this application in advance to know that I'm approved to move?

They said, no, you have to do it at the airport the day that you're flying to San Francisco to move.

What?

It's wild.

I don't understand why it works that way.

It's a very emotional experience.

It's very stressful.

Just making sure all of this is good.

They've backfilled my previous job.

I've got this new job to look forward to.

We've put down three months of security deposit on our new apartment in San Francisco that we've never seen before.
