Re: Express Entry Spousal Checklist & Medical/Police Certificates

Re: Help I hate it here!!!

Sounds to me like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to find your Canadian "UK equivalent", as soon as possible. And it also sounds like a bigass bout of cultureshock!

Re: No tip with a tip

Yeah, it's not the same without rounds being bought. Maybe tipping and service are the reason why you don't get that "pub feel" here...

Re: No tip with a tip

I agree, on the whole, the service here is good, it was something I noticed when I first arrived. I suppose what some people have a problem with is not being given the choice of whether they want to...

Re: No tip with a tip
