Hello Everyone:
And you think you have problems......
This article shows that the canadian government has lost control. Now canada even pisses off it's visitors to the degree of giving them 8 days to leave or else. All for filling in a few picture frame holes.
Got to love DICTATORS and CONTROL FREEKS!

British man kicked out of Canada for helping girlfriend fix up her apartment

A young British man was given “eight days to leave Canada” for helping his girlfriend fix up her apartment.

Tom Rolfe, 24, is accused of “denying a Canadian person a job” by immigration officials after he was found to have helped his girlfriend, Sam, fill up cracks in her wall, the Mirror reports.

Officials went through Rolfe’s camera, where they found pictures of him working on the walls. The pictures were used to prove that Rolfe, who was in Canada on a tourist visa, was working illegally.

“It is just ridiculous, I was helping Sam tidy up her flat before she sold it so we could get a place together,” he told the news outlet.

“I was treated like a criminal and told I have eight days to get out of the country.”

Rolfe and his girlfriend hoped to open a dog rescue centre in Edmonton, Alta., but he says that this misstep “has wrecked [their] plans.”

He applied for a resident’s permit and as a result, Rolfe had to leave Canada to be processed going back through immigration control.

Rolfe and Sam drove 300 miles to Montana in the United States before immediately returning to Canada to get his new passport stamped.

(Canada Border Services Agency)(Canada Border Services Agency)But when the two arrived, they were locked in separate rooms while officials searched through their car and belongings for hours.

That’s when they found Rolfe’s camera.

“They looked through the photographs on my camera and saw me helping Sam fill cracks in her walls where pictures had been hanging,” he said.

“They said that by doing that I was denying a Canadian person a job.”

When officials told Rolfe that he had eight days to get out of the country, he was “completely staggered.”

Sam appealed the decision to her local MP in Alberta but was told that Rolfe would have to leave the country for 28 months before he could return.

“I’m done with Canada now. I thought they were Commonwealth so I’m surprised to be treated like this,” he said.

“We have had to completely revise our plans because all I did was a little bit of DIY around the house for my girlfriend.”

Sam, along with their two dogs, is planning to follow Rolfe to the U.K. in a few months. He already started looking for a place for them to live.

I'm suspicious of the Canadian government's intentions as well. They seem to be going along with NWO plans with as big of a smile on their face as anyone. As far as the Canadian people themselves, I have never met one that I didn't like. But the government across the border is creeping me out.

I read this in a Belgian newspaper yesterday. And then I jumped to the comments. 10 people thought it was absurd and 7 supported Canada wondering why Belgium doesn't make more efforts to protect "our jobs". Majority wins: it's absurd.

Link to Belgian article: http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/959/Bizar/article/detail/2375066/2015/06/24/Brit-uit-Canada-gezet-omdat-hij-vriendin-hielp-in-het-huishouden.dhtml?show=react

Notice the odd/wrong (?) translation in headline, "fixing up" (apartment): huishouden (household chores).

The only way I can respond to news like this is to laugh at the stupidity of it. It's either that or suicide.

If this had been in India or the Philippines for example, both overcrowded countries, you could almost see their point. And that's a BIG almost. But Canada ? .... With a population density of 3.6 people per square kilometre they can hardly be complaining about (aboot) their citizens being unable to find work.
I hardly think the couple's problems will be resolved by living in Britain though.

This sounds like a sketch from Monty Python, or a satire on red tape - in what sense can using a little spak filler be considered a 'Job' - absurd does not even come near!

Hello Everyone:
A month or so ago there was an article here on Avalon where a great number of grade 8's in the u.s.a. thought that canada was governed by dictators. I can tell you they were spot on! What's always fascinating to me is that the people constantly pay for governments to do what they want and the governments treat us like we are the very slaves to them that we have to be according to "political correctness". It's unfortunate that the majority of the people are in a deep sleep because if they weren't we could actually reign in the dictators and do the will of the people instead of having to be subservient.

PS All this guy did was fill in a few nail holes that pictures were hanging from.
PPS There is NO ONE that would want this job in Canada because the majority don't want to work unless paid 25-80 dollars per hour!
PPS Immigration Canada is worse than a dictator. They are truly out of control. In fact they only use initials when signing documents since they don't want anyone to know who's actually doing the letter(s). DICTATORS by any definition!

our world gets more enslaved everyday , the revolution is brewing . people are beyond upset over the insanity of those in power , common sense isn't so common anymore ... why should someone else make laws/rules telling another person what they can and cannot do ? I don't want to pay someone to make rules over me , if I patch holes in the walls , they should be glad I chipped in to make things better , less trouble for someone else and now they are free to handle other projects ...

I was almost refused entry into Canada because I said the wrong thing to customs; I was amazed at how easy it is to run into a heap of hassle with those guys. I was working for a UK subsidiary of a Canadian company and was going there for a meeting but also to do some technical work for one of our clients while I was there.

Mentioning that was the wrong thing - because they said I needed a different visa for that.

Once I managed to convince them (after having been bumped through two layers of hierarchy) that I was not going to leave the premises of head office for any work related activity they let me through.

This all happened toward the end of the last century, so I can only imagine how much worse it is now.
