La Maison Qui Rends Fou!

Monday morning, I went to the Préfecture with [livejournal.com profile] azrhey (thank goodness!).

Lots of waiting, but that I expected. I didn't expect the person to be so stuck to the letter of the word as to not get the part where my visa says that "I don't have to have a work permit" doesn't meant that I can't have a work permit! [livejournal.com profile] azrhey ended up composing a letter to the Préfet saying that his esteemed colleagues at the Consulat de France à Montréal were a bunch of morons or something to that effect, and please let me have a work permit. Which I then had to transcribe nicely.

I managed to screw up signing my own name, too, so really, I'm quite thankful to [livejournal.com profile] azrhey for leaving as little as possible to me to do (screw up?).

What an adventure...

No, I had already a letter from a doctor saying I don't have the black plague, but they want me to have another one at some point, from their approved doctor.

But this is only if the Préfet considers my plight...

Good luck. If you do need to go for a medical exam, it's fairly painless. They test your sight, height/weight, and they give you a lung x-ray. Sometimes the people who adminstor it are assholes but it's over fairly quickly.
