I landed in October 2006 wuth $2500 to my name.
I was fortunate enough to be able to couch surf until I found my feet though.

Ha! I didn't know it was even possible - visions of mounties ala due south hunting me down and dragging me from my bed in the dawn light. Did that not cause you some problems re: leaving/returning to the country?
I'm curious too how long BUNAC take to process the work authorisation itself. I've arranged my flight for 16th April, but have yet to send off all my documents etc. The site says 7 working days but that can't be right can it?!
Has anyone got a timetable from submission of all that junk to recieving the authorisation?

When i applied for PR I was just honest about the whole thing, and I included a letter explaining why I overstayed (for a girl)... my PR went through in under 6 months and I weasnt even interveiwed. It was EASY!!!
I wouldnt recommened overstaying though, there are loads of ways to do it properly, but for a loved up 18 year old I just thought bugger it im staying here!

I got scared and handed myself in! I had no problem working even with a temporary SIN number.
