Re: help!
Athletes and Coaches are on the list of Occupations under Pressure in British Columbia. That can be helpful in applying for a temporary work permit.
In most instances, pre-arranged employment is critical to gaining entry to Canada. I suggest you read the Wiki articles called Quick Job Hunting Instructions-Canada and Finding Job Opportunities-Canada. People who have participated in world class cultural and athletic activities can apply for permanent residence under the Self-Employed Persons category. I don't know the best place in Canada to train for cage fighting / mixed martial arts. I didn't know what it was, and had to do a Google search to get myself up to speed. That search brought up a March 2006 article that stated that cage fighting was banned in Ontario. So I guess that rules out Ontario. But the Finding Job Opportunities article, to which I gave you a link, will provide you with strategies for finding out where the job opportunities are. x |

Re: help!
sorry cant help with the job advice as not sure what that would come under... but just wanted to ay " good luck" and hope you manage to find something.
Sorry to read that some of the posts are belittling to what you do for a living - I'm sure if you had said you were a professional wrestler or boxer you may have got a better response - though to be honest given the holier than thou judgemental attitudes of many on here you'd have probably got a slating off someone even if you'd said you were Mother Theresa's stand in. welcome to the forum - lesson 1- ignore the morons good luck |

Well, no, I personally wouldnt have had a different opinion if he was a boxer or wrestler - they are still all examples of mindless violence along with cage fighting in my view. Of course lots of people will argue that it's different because its a "sport" but then technically so are bull fighting, dog fighting, and gladiators doing battle to the death in roman times. I personally find those kind of "sports" positively distasteful and seeing as on this forum everyone always feels free to express their opinions about every possible subject I didnt see why I should hold back on sharing mine too.

Re: help!
I once watched UFC, it was on the tv at the bar. Had a homoerotic quality.
