cc you are feisty today aren't you?
However you do make a very valid point...
I wonder if any of the people within immigration take that into account when you apply for work visa / temporary work permit... hmmmm... I know they've overlooked it for the past 40 odd years, but if they wanted to be harsh, they might be able to reject based upon that...
However, when I went, I went with the purpose of having a nice vacation, and if, by chance I were to be offered a job, then I would consider it and go through the process to receive the correct validations and permit. (at least, that's what I told myself when the immigration official asked me why I was entering the country)
as to carrying resumes (cvs), why bother, there are internet cafes everywhere, you can print any number of copies at any time, and it's not expensive to do so. But what about the other documents, diplomas, degrees, licenses, etc. You have to carry them, and if you get searched and they ask, what are you going to tell them (by the way, I was searched twice while transiting between countries, so don't carry any contraband of any kind - including pornography).
I'm just wondering though, since the companies have started documenting 1000 hours minimum on their web sites, if this requirement has been established for this year (both in Nam and Bots), due to the discussions that have been going on in both governments since last year.
