Progress Of A Sort

greenstormToday I sent away for my birth certificate, which I had a year ago, but which I somehow don't have now. It should take about six weeks to get it back. My mom's paying, but total cost was about $50 for notary + fees.
When it comes back, I send out for passport and citizenship, total cost about $350 for citizenship all told and maybe $80 for passport (this includes things like the pics) which mom is also paying for, but I like to know what this'll all end up being.
Passport should be quick. I then can send away for my Permanent Resident Card, so the time frame for that is maybe... six weeks plus six weeks, three months. Processing time for permanent resident card at present time is actually unknown, but maybe three months? So six months for that branch to be done if I don't end up needing anything else.
When I get the passport I can go for BCID + drivers' license, BCID will take about a month to process, so I'll have that ID in four months and I can go clubbing (:P?). Drivers' I'll get in three months with that, then I have to actually do the learning stuff &c, but I can start in three if all goes according to plan.
Citizenship takes forever, it seems to take between eight months to a year between submission of the forms and getting citizenship, though I'm not sure (koppermoon?) because my mom the test case was absent for four months and couldn't write her exam the first time round. There's a test in there, and waiting for test results, etc. It's likely that, given submission in three months, I can get citizenship before 2006.
That's exciting, to have everything laid out like this. I actually think this can happen, having perused the documents on what I need to send in for what. *fingercross* *touch wood*
