Well this 21 year old is enjoying a long 'vacation'. I'm immigrating to Canada so I left working as an electrician in the UK and am currently using the free time as I wait for all the papers to go through to concentrate on my writing. I currently have no financial concerns even though I haven't done a days work in over half a year, because between 17 and 20 I made so much money doing electrics that I didn't have to worry about anything. With a guaranteed job offer here in Canada I'm actually looking forward to being able to work, not for the money but to give me something to occupy the day.
My 24 year old brother just recently quit his job and is currently riding out the crisis in the UK programming for some of the community projects he likes online.
- cperciva 18y agoI'm immigrating to Canada Welcome! I hope all the paperwork goes smoothly and you get settled well.
- electromagnetic 18y agoThank you. We've got a family friend in immigration, so he's helped a lot as the information given is really contradictory. It's not always clear with him either because he can't tell anyone how to get into the country easier, so he's kind of stuck just giving answers... but it's still better than the website. We're hoping I don't need a police check in Canada as it can take up to 120 days, but another family friend can get them rushed and complete in 3 days. So I guess I'm kind of lucky my wife's family is so connected.
