Title: T's are crossed, and the I's are dotted :)

Yesterday I received my "Certificate of Authenticity" from Dr Brassard :) Duly notarized legalized, and certified. So today it was off to the Ministry of Transport and I finally was able to get that typo corrected. Then it was off to Ministry of Health to get the same thing done there.
The girls at the transport office were very cool but the gent at the health office was a little up tight. He must have read the letter four times and after each time he would look at me, I have expected him to ask me to prove it :) But each time he looked at me I simply smiled and batted my eyelashes :) He reluctantly made the appropriate change, gave me a temporary certificate, confirming the change until my health card arrived by mail, and I smiled sweetly at him gushing "Thank you so much for your help". LOL I got a smile out of him, and I left.
The only thing left that I want to/need to get done is to get my passport. That's going to be a pain as there is a huge backlog due to the new border crossing requirements imposed by the U.S. to beef up security. Oh well.

Congrats Steph. I seem to recall you're an immigrant as well. Be warned that your Canadian Citizenship Certificate will take forever. Mine took 10 months. I'm not sure if you need it if you're changing an existing passport, but I needed it to apply for a new one.
Yay bureaucracy.

Hehe, when I first read the title, I wondered if you were making a pun. ;) Congratulations on getting that all done.

I thought the same thing. Definitely some T's on here that get cross.
Congrats, Steph!

I'm tickled to see you are up and about Steph :)
I imagine by the time I'm able to apply for a passport with the celebrated "F" I'll have to provide a sample of brain tissue to qualify. Oh well...anywho, I'm so happy for ya' sis. ;D
