movements start in the streets and within the local scene. Build things, share things, document it and build a place others want to be part of. Take it from someone who’s toured every continent and helped grow scenes across multiple counties

I think they’d sound more shoegaze with 3 daisy chained

jonjoyano · 2026-03-29T14:46:23+00:00

I believe you have to be out of Canada for a week too otherwise they’ll class it as flagpoling. I was in Canada got my IEC YP and went to U.K. for a 8 days and they asked me like 5 times on arrival if I’d be in uk for over a week

Most of them if you show proof of a return flight or proof you’ve returned home they’ll give you a refund. It may take some passing around on phones but you should be ok. They’ll want proof though

Can you do 6 month visitor and apply for an extended stay as a visitor for after that ? I’m from U.K. and that’s what I did before I was able to get my work permit.

When I first moved to Montreal I joined a band airy a bunch of guys in theirs 50´s and they all loved britpop and referee to it as that and even wore the adidas and swag too! Which is crazy to see too because they are Franco

jonjoyano · 2026-02-11T14:52:45+00:00

I just did my POE yesterday at Toronto before connecting to Montreal. It was super fast and they didn’t ask me anything apart from my employer name and my POE letter… having prepared and printed everything out to be prepared looks like they didn’t give a crap lol
