Residence Permit for Germany

Yesterday was a great day; I received my residence permit for Germany which is valid for one year! I plan to study German and was a little concerned since the language school recommended applying for the residence permit for Germany from Canada since they had students who had come to Germany only to have their residence permit for Germany turned down. We were also fortunate in that we only had to go to the Immigration Office twice and received the residence permit for Germany on our second visit within a matter of minutes after producing proof of health insurance (see below). Step 3 of obtaining a residence permit complete - well at least for one year. This is a huge relief as anyone who has dealt with immigration issues understands and the system in Germany isn't always the easiest to figure out.
