In the real world, for such a remark against labor educators you would be sued for slander.

Whatever you do though, do not apply for Interac!

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my original post, but I live far from the interview sites of all the major eikaiwas here. If I lived in/near California or New York, this would not be an issue. I estimate I could end up spending $400 to $2000 applying at eikaiwas here (plane flights+hotel stays). The low end is if I apply in New York, am lucky, and get the first one, the $2000 is if I have to apply at 4 different ones. The only place ECC is hiring in North America now is Toronto. If one of them does hire me, I then have to spend the same amount of money getting there, paying for my apartment, food, etc. I'll have a pay check much sooner, so perhaps it works out about equal?
You'll make back the $400 in your first month if you are frugal and have no bills to pay back home. Making the $2000 back will take a wee bit longer, but if you are serious about this, it'll happen relatively painlessly, especially if you get supplemental work.

Come here, and you should expect to fork out about US$5000 for the first two months, and just under half of that for the third month (if you don't get hired until 2 months are up, and you have to wait 4 more weeks for that first paycheck). Are you prepared to pay THAT much money up front?
