Yep it must be "this place" that's to blame.

Cause Canadian Immigration never makes any mstakes either.
Other than letting in Asian Criminals, ones who they know have records, into the country to start gangs, but other than that we have everything perfect.

Your confusing bashing with being critical in an effort to effect positive change that will be beneficial to the party being criticized.

This is the definition of an apologist by the way for anyone new to Korea.

It's amazing that the first post of this thread bashes Canadians. And then hamlet712 references, "Asian Gangs." Please try to stick to the topic. Unless you have experience working with Canadian Immigration, be quiet.

Good job, Brian D.

Now you need to translate it into Korean and have it printed in a Korean language paper.

Yo, Hamlet...read paragraphs 2 and 3. Umm, pretty straight forward with no mention of Asian criminals.
I'm referring to the Korean 'government' not informing one of the countries where they get teachers from of changes to their wonderful policies.
It would make life easier for all parties to be a bit more co-operative with the countries that this country is getting teachers from in the multi-million dollar industry of teachee Englishee.

Well, in Korea I find that so many people first try to be overambitious about then things, and if it doesn't work, they scale things back instead of looking at everything that could go wrong and working accordingly. I don't know about Japanese culture. Are the Japanese known for their planning or do they do things on the fly like so many in Korea do? I am not saying I am mr. organization, but I work really hard at planning especially when it affects other people. The immigration officials could have consulted the Canadian Embassy to see what's doable and what's not doable. It's not rocket science. I guess it's the idea of having too much pride to consult others.
