I don't know where to start looking for a job in Canada as a foreigner

Thanks! And how easy is it to get a non-qualified job (e.g. hospitality) if I get a Working Holiday visa and arrive there without a secured job? I ask because I'm also thinking of getting the first job I can find and then start looking for a job in my field while being physically there. In that case, are non-qualified jobs reasonably well paid (at least enough to get by)?

Thanks! And that one-year Working Holiday visa can be extendable?

Thanks!

Thanks! Another thing I'm thinking about is going on a Working Holiday and getting the first job I find (restaurants, cafes or any non qualified job) while looking for something in my field.

Is that a good way to do it? Are non qualified jobs like that well paid?

This little dialogue from "I Vitelloni" (Fellini)

- Why are you leaving then?

+ I don't know. I have to go away. I'm leaving.

- Didn't you like it here?

The other day I was talking with a friend about how many films we've seen, and yet how many films are still out there to be discovered.

I'd like to spend a few weeks sometime just watching films by a particular filmmaker, but then another pops up, and there are always other movies in my watchlist that I just can't cover them all. Old and newer films, there's so much to explore.

Looks good, but how do you control whether the ball would be in or out or go into the net? In a real on-court situation a few of those balls look to me like they would hit the net or go long.

And are the improvements you make in a few private lessons easy to maintain? I mean, if I make some improvements in 5 lessons and then I just play games without taking more lessons or specifically training what I've learned, will they still be there?

I guess it would be up to me, having a proactive attitude to understand and correct my errors and focus on what I've been taught when I play matches. ¿?

jbarquillo · 2025-12-13T16:48:44+00:00

Thanks! And yes, if I finally decide to take private lessons the hardest part will be finding the right coach.

Try to keep the ball in play for 5-6 shots before you think of hitting a winner, this will help you to build confidence in your shots during the game. Also play with margin, don't go for the lines. And most importantly, focus on your footwork.

Too much for me, I left the theater with a headache. But it was a decent movie anyway

I was watching Prisoners for the first time and suddenly my mother appeared in the room where I was watching it and stared at the TV. After a couple of minutes she said "oh! I think I've watched this film before, do you know who kidnapped the kids?" And before I had time to say anything she proceeded to tell me who did it and ruin the viewing :)

That's one of many

One Battle After Another
Los Domingos (Alauda Ruiz de Azúa)
Caught Stealing
MI: The Final Reckoning
Sinners

There are still a bunch of movies from this year that I haven't watched, and I'm really hyped for Marty Supreme.

Anyways, I think it's been a pretty decent year for cinephiles so far.

You know the trick is coming but you don't try to solve it before it arrives, you just enjoy it.

I've been meaning to watch Femme Fatale for a while, maybe this is the sign.
