I'd give you different advise... One that really works, I think (if you've totally given up on finding a good job in Canada).

Re: Bank Jobs?

If nothing else, one thing I am really sure of is that you will be settled in Canada for good BEFORE you ever see a Canadian passport. I just had a talk about this with some friends who came here 7...

Re: Canada and Canadians-impressions

However, I think I know the reason for this... Canada can be ignored here, as most of its material culture is straight taken from the USA. So why is USA so many years behind? I think the anser to...
