Zhifang has arrived safely. It felt like a really long wait at the airport, but we managed alright. My daughter was getting frustrated that Zhifang was not coming through the doors. She was seeing a lot of Chinese people coming out, but why not Zhifang? As it happened, there were three flights landed near each other...one from Hong Kong, one from Shanghai, and one from Beijing. And many of these people live in Canada, so pass through customs quickly.
Zhifang had to be processed by the immigration as a new immigrant. She said she was processed quickly, but a lot of people arrived behind her, so she knew it would slow down for them. She said the immigration officer was very nice, but only spoke English. He asked where I lived, and what my phone number was. Not long after, she was granted access to the country. She said they did not search her bags, although others getting processed did have their bags checked.
So at long last she arrived in Toronto. Unfortunately, we had a three hour drive ahead of us, back to where I live. But she chatted away the entire drive here. So all is good here.
