I think she'll stay as long as Evgenia stays in Canada, but I have no idea about her job. Perhaps she still can work for the same company from Canada, depending on the job it might be possible.

I am not sure how it will work with Zhenya's mom, because she would need a visa to be in Canada, which is not entirely trivial.
She could probably stay a couple of months as a tourist to help Zhenya to settle quite easily, but other than that...

As you can see, he has grown a lot in 4 years so I couldn't notice him when I saw him of 2017 :shocked:

Oh wow I can definitely see that

Yeah that’s why I was thinking that her mom’s stay was temporary to help with the transition but ultimately she will be living either on her own or living with a host family

Great photo!

Maybe it's in the car.

That's nice of him to pick her (and her mom?) from the airport!

gogolev would have been a great person to pick her up since he speaks Russian but i bet he doesn't drive

 

[Mrs. P]

Evgenia speaks pretty decent English at this point! I was impressed with how far she came when I watched that one Japanese news segment.

 

[TGee]

Hi TGee, do you have a link for these more recent interviews you mentioned? I'm a Zhenya fan, but I seem to have missed them...

I believe it was in Russian articles. The Russian media interviewed him directly.

I'm looking for them, but most were linked in the original coaching change thread.

Well, Brian's mentioned the parents of other skaters being in Toronto for extended periods.

So, it sounds as though it's possible. Especially as they would not be seen as trying to stay indefinitely.

However consular services aren't in place between the two countries. It may be trickier than for Japan.

Lubov had to go to the US to tryout with Dylan to start. And it took 6 weeks to get a visa for Canada. Since Zhenya's move has been planned ahead, this is clearly in place.

But her mother will have to come to Canada separately one would think.

I guess he'll need to bring the bagged milk

I don't think so. But Evgenia can speak OK English. Besides, there is no language barrier when the language is SUNSHINE AND HAPPINESS (or something like that).

 

[Mrs. P]

People are happy that Jason gave Zhenya a warm welcome. Not a terrible thing to talk about.

Well, afaik... For people from most countries, I suppose it is fairly doable to stay in Canada up to 6 months.
Longer stay may be trickier / not doable. Maybe it could be easier for underage skaters to get their parents to stay longer, but that does not apply.

This is why my guess is that Zhenya's mom will stay there for a couple of months, until Zhenya has everything sorted out, a place to live, furniture, healthcare and so on, whatever may require some additional support, and then leave.

 

[4everchan]

did i say it was??? i was joking because too many threads have shipped too many skaters this summer.... that's all... and i am not a fan...

 

[Mrs. P]

I edited my post accordingly. I'm not a fan of shipping either, but now that you said it...

 

[chopinskate]

Is Med the Kim Kardashian of FS?

 

[moriel]

ok i hope this thread doesn't go from bagged milk to dill to buckwheat to shipping jason and zhenya.... i know there is a heat wave but... yeah...

:sarcasm:

offseason is not over yet, everything can happen :dev2:
You know, maybe Yuzuru was just a decoy and Zhenya and Jason planned all this to be together =P
