In any case, it has been amended. I have assimilated my resume. Souv bullied me into it.
I did not bully you, you stupid little girl.

What sort of job are you after, anyway? Something that involves human contact?

For me it would make no difference if it was on there or not, but then I know the regs, not all employers do. As a general rule, with little or no CDN experience, stating legally entitled to work in Canada on a cover letter should be sufficient, with several years CDN experience and a CDN address, its probably a bit redundant.

I still love that. I believe A level physics outlines the differences in Canada compared to the rest of the world. It's like water spirals into the plug whole in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. Whilst in Canada you can only gain relevant work experience when actually in Canada. It's an immutable law of physics, apparently.

Thank you so much, Aviator, for your helpful and insightful response.

Souv, shut yer gob. And never you mind what kind of job I am after, it may have been a hypothetical question, it may not. Human contact? Oh hell no, I don't much like people.

I am forced to agree. The four years before I moved here I was a trade officer at the Cdn High Commission in London. I worked for Canada, worked with Canadians and spent most of my time advising Canadian companies. Did that have any weight when I got here? No.

I agree, however I disliked the general public long before signing on here.

You're going for a job with Revenue Canada, aren't you?

What? With all them there sums? No.

Can't a person review their resume without arousing suspicion? I am 100% committed to my current employment. For the time being.
