I was born in the 3rd world and moved to Canada. Getting a visitor’s visa for Europe: excruciating, and they’re extremely stingy with how long it’s valid for.

I was born in the 3rd world and moved to Canada. Getting a visitor’s visa for Europe: excruciating, and they’re extremely stingy with how long it’s valid for. Lots of my friends & colleagues got rejected outright. UK: excruciating as well, and made me feel like a piece of shit in the airport. Canada: very hard, very detailed, but valid for ten years. Very nice when you get there. USA: one minute interview, three day wait, no problems. To be fair, the US had reams of info on me at this point.
