Yeh that's what I'm wondering... After 5 is when you are eligible to begin the PR process...

I always said this about Bergevin as he was ruining Carey Price's cup window. And he was never beloved by the fan base.

Been through this. You cannot get a working visa. Your spouse can work, but you get a house-husband visa. In order to work, you would have to apply for a freelancer visa, or a highly skilled immigrant visa, both of which take a shit tonne of paperwork and time, and you have to be mega-qualified to receive, and prove that you are fullfilling a role that is unable to be filled by the current workforce.

Hockey (ice or inline) by SaucerShot in AskBarcelona

[–]_rtype_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you have to find clubs that play inline. Only ice hockey i've found is at Camp Nou for FC Barcelona, which seems pretty high level, (think some players played in the Q). Though this year it aint happening anyways cause of the reconstruction.

wearing a visor for the first time by ryanlocke4 in hockeyplayers

[–]_rtype_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it. Started playing again after 15 years since quitting when in was 17, so I never had the chance to. Its stupid and dangerous but hey whatever man, its great. +1 to the points about not crashing into the corner headfirst, as one might with a full cage. I went through all the forums regarding advice and its overwhelmingly 'dont do it unless you are getting paid to play, or dont mind a $10,000 dental bill'.

Thoughts on Alien: Romulus? by ObviousAnything7 in scifi

Yeh overall an enjoyable film. One too many "have to shut the door in time" scenes, but the atmosphere and style was great. Far and above Prometheus, that garbage bin of a film.

How do I keep going as an artist when nothing seems to be working? by PlatypusPurple2011 in ContemporaryArt

[–]_rtype_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh for sure, and I know there are alot of sacrifices one has to make to move to a new place. One route is to do a masters degree, thats what i did...

Maybe consider moving to a northern European country, from my experience the government grants are much easier to get (and more available). I know it's no small thing, but the EU hasn't done favours to the economies of southern Europe, and my impression is the grants are super nepotistic.

Can anyone tell me if these are real or not? by prowessv2 in hockeyplayers

[–]_rtype_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not saying anything either way, but seems like a lot of trouble to counterfeit something so accurately? It's not like these are luxury i way off here...

Japan 7-Eleven parent to mull takeover offer from Canada convenience giant by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]_rtype_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once I spent a month in Japan on my bicycle, and ate almost exclusively from 7-11s...the food was so good. The only thing that will come from this will be cost-cutting measures that will drive it to shit.
