is drivel. It's drivel in the sense that it's not true and it's drivel in the sense that it's not written in coherent English. Calling it drivel is a statement of fact rather than an attack.

"perhaps you yourself offer nothing more than drivel" is a personal attack because it's not based on anything, it's just a vague assertion. I can imagine that a poster subjected to such withering prose might well have burst into tears and be hiding in the bathroom unable to reach a computer. I can only hope that he took his fags with him.
It depends on what he meant. I took it as him meaning the content of that one post and not all posts by Novocastrian. So surely he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, I've seen a lot worse than that on here without the poster being reprimanded for making a personal attack.

Would you say that you are a qualified expert in finance, sociology, career counselling, guidance?

So why not come clean & tell us more about what your 'Advocate' position involves, how you came about having your knowledge & expertise in that area & who you are employed by?

Maybe being an 'Advocate' could be a career for those that have the knowledge & expertise that you do? How does one become an 'Advocate', what are the education & experience requirements?


Only an english guy says Bollocks lol

3/ Why not get experience in something you enjoy doing or a qualification back in the UK and then come here on IEC when you have something to offer so it also assists your future career if it doesn't work out?
Excellent questions, but I fear the OP is a drive by poster who will probably never read them, nor ever post again.

My 2p worth ....

why not come for a 'look & see visit', or maybe as some posters have suggested the IEC route?

Travel and Work in Canada | Temporary Canada Work permit For Work Holidays for the United Kingdom| International Experience Canada

The other suggestion for you to consider going to college or university in the UK with some of that money you'd spend on coming to Canada at age 20, then once you have higher qualifications plus some experience you may likely be able to get to Canada on one of the many visa's available for skilled workers.

You have until your 31st Birthday (during age 30) to apply come to Canada on an IEC working holiday visa.

No need to rush to get here, you have time on your side.

Good luck to you

This is more like it! A good old Friday night/afternoon ding dong! Deleted posts, crying in toilets, chain smoking, drivel (lots of it)...Great stuff - I love it; keep it up!

Suppose it depends on how you define university, but there are a couple in BC that offer under 4 year programs.

Thompson Rivers University does.

University of the Fraser Valley does.

Capilano University does.

Vancouver Island University does.

I am sure there are others as well, but again all depends on how the term university is defined.
