Re: The refugees you don't hear about.

Just out of curiosity, what's stopping me from illegally entering Canada, destroying all traces of ID and claiming refugee status? Obviously they'll know I'm not a legit refugee however, they can't...

Re: 2nd IEC visa, new SIN?

Yes you need to go to a Service Canada Centre and show them your new work permit. They will then issue you an extension of your old SIN which will be valid until your new work permit expires.

Re: How many British do you meet a week?

I work Downtown Toronto. There are at least 5 Brits who work in my shared office space. I also hear other/new Brits in the elevator or downstairs in the food court almost everyday.

Re: Express Entry System - how to prepare?

I'm working under NOC code 1223 and getting an LMIA would be next to impossible in that skill set. By April I would have accrued 1 years work experience in Canada and If I somehow managed to secure...

Re: multiculturalism in Canada

I'm against the very concept of multiculturalism. It divides many communities in society and does not encourage neither integration or assimilation.

Re: So how is your accent?

Stokie is NOT the easiest accent to mimic either. I'm from Stoke and miss oatcakes terribly. You can get them in Sainsburys in London (UK) but they are packaged and taste like rubber.

Re: Entering as tourist before activating IEC visa

I plan to do the same thing. Land in Toronto as a visitor, get myself sorted out with a job, accomodation etc. Then cross the border and come back with an activated work permit.
