Flag Polling for my new visa

So the time has come that i had to flagpole to get my new visa so i thought i would share with y'all how go go about getting your new visa.

You have a few options on doing this which include going to the states for the day or just simply going to the border and back. I chose to just go to the border and back as i had work the next day.

I went to Point Roberts which you can get to quite easily from downtown. It is about an hour and half away from Downtown so alot quicker than going to Seattle or Portland.  You get the Canada line to Bridgeport and get the 601 bus to South Delta and get off at the second last stop. You just go threw the park and turn right onto 1st ave and just walk along and you will see it. Once there you have to go to the building furthest away as you arrive. It's the white building and you have to stand on the pavement next to the queuing cars. Eventually someone in the window will call you forward. Tell them you have to leave and re-enter Canada in order to claim a Canadian work permit.

They will give you a piece of paper and send you to the Canada building. Once there, there are footprints on the floor for people walking up, again you'll be standing next to queuing cars. Eventually one of the Canadian border people will call you forward. Tell them your there to claim your new work permit and they will send you to the main building.

Once there the border official will take your passport and letter of acceptance and they other documents that they want to see and ask you to take a seat. All being well you should get your new permit within about 20 minutes.

I went on a tuesday around 1pm so it was fairly quiet so it is best to go around midday during the week so you can get done quickly.

Hope this was helpful

Such a bad blogger

Things have been so crazy this year with starting a new job with the Vancouver Whitecaps and moving to a new place and many many nights out.

I will start with my new place.  I didn't get on with my room mates so i was looking for a new place and my mate Cheryl had told me that there is a room in her place available so i took that.  The room is so much bigger than the one i had before and the room mates are so much nicer.  I only moved like two blocks so i was still in the West end and living on Robson which is known as Vancouver's runway.

Now onto my awesome job.

I managed to land myself many peoples dream job - working for the Whitecaps.  This job is by far the best job i have had like ever.  I pretty much get paid to watch the game which is awesome since i love football or soccer as it is known here.  I had only been with them for a few weeks when i got promoted and now i am getting even more responsibility.

The past few months i have been to so many nights out it has hard to keep track of them all but i have met so many amazing people who i will definitely be keeping in my life when and if i return home.

Vegas

The day before i left for Vegas i had planned to have a quiet night and also an early night. Well that didnt happen i ended up meeting the girls i went with for a drink and several drinks later we strolled home got our suitcases and headed to the airport still drunk - start as you mean to go on i say.

The girls were on a flight 30 minutes before mine as i only booked the week before and their flight was full, anyhow the snow decided that at the very moment my flight was due to leave it wanted to snow really heavily which meant my flight was then delayed lucky me.

I was staying at the Planet Hollywood which is right in the middle of the strip which was perfect for us.  We had just dumped our stuff and headed straight to the bar.

First night there we got so drunk and ended up showing the entire bar how to do the time warp dance was the best experience ever.  Our entire trip was just a blur as we drank so much.
