Oh. oh my. omg.

I wasn't paying attention but now that I finally am, there's this something I can take up that will make my future plans way easier.
But that means I should make a decision soon, and take action within 2024.

Thought I had years. Now it's just months. It's a most wonderful thing but AHHHHHH

Edit: further googling tells me walking through door A doesn't shut door B. It's a net gain. I can go back to worrying about how full my neopet is.

I am guessing it's either medical and/or migration related but whatever it is, hooray for good news!! Sometimes that's all you need to take action. I felt the same way when it dawned on me that I could become eligible for PR last year after over a decade of uncertainty

YAY!!!!!! 🥂🪇🎊🎉 :D :D :D it feels like a heavenly moment when the stars align and you realise the door is open! Crossing all my digits for you to be able to stay on permanently without needing to lose your mind/soul/virginity/bank account

I've been out of the loop but I see the government has finally established a date for when they'll implement the long awaited 482 short term -> PR pathway. This is great news for many people I know
