CANADA SIGNS CITIZEN DEBT INFORMATION SHARING AGREEMENT WITH KOREA

SEOUL, March 31 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Canada signed a wage garnishing and debt collection agreement on Tuesday. As a part of the agreement, any Korean who moves to Canada may be contacted there by debt collectors, and in extreme cases, find reported income garnished in order to cover any outstanding debts due to purchases or loans. Likewise, any Canadian working in Korea who owes debt due to purchases or loans will also be subject to similar measures. The two countries agreed to share debtor information from national debt collection databases.

Wow, if true it would mean an exodus of Canadian student-loan-dodging english teachers (pretty much everyone, no?) Smile

Hey, it's serious... why doesn't the link work?

They're setting up special offices for Canadian debt enforcement officials, RCMP officers, and bill collectors in a special room at the Blue House in Gwanghwhamun. They plan to share everyone's ARC and E-2 details, along with phone numbers.

They're coming... OMG, they're coming! Happy AF!

You bastard you - you made that with me in mind, didn't you?

YBS, you'd be about the last person I'd think would fall for a joke like that. Wink

Sorry I missed you last weekend!
