(Friday) Whats a day it has been, me and jim were checking are visa's on thursday night while we were watching a film and it was a good job we did because I discovered that mine had 3 mistakes on it (sods law it would have to be mine) now the first one which was the employment location which was down as Toronto is a biggy because I have the visa acceptence letter which tells employers that i'm free to work anywhere. The other two mistakes were big ones it was down in two place on the visa that I had to leave the country by the 8th April and the first words to come out of my mouth when I saw that was "oh shit". luckly the SWAP office that helps BUNAC students was open in the morning but it did stop me from worrying about it all night thinking will they change it won't they etc etc.
Friday morning time to find the SWAP office now on the map in the hostel it has it as been next to the Holiday Inn (Which has a striking similarity to the MI6 building in London) which is far from the truth its about 5 blocks down the road and we only found that out after walking up and down the road for about 10 mins going past these girls who were working for greenpeace. Well anyway we find the swap office any i tell the woman in the office my problem and she says "You will have to go back to the airport to get it sorted out" and i was like great this is going to cost me a fortune in bus fare but she said to me I will give you directions for the public transport to get to the airport for $2.75 which is dirt cheap because a TAXI will set you back $50 (thats how me and jim got to the hostel when we arrived we were just so knackered) and the airport shuttle is $18.50. So I start off on my journey back to the airport The toronto subway looks like its seen better days but its clean and you don't have to wait long for a train to arrive after the subway it's was just a 20 minute bus ride to the airport. Again when I arrived at the airport it was like a ghost town if it was manchester or any british airport come to think of it would be busy. Anyway after 15 mins wandering up and down the airport trying to find someone that could help me i find the map of the terminal only to find out that i have walked past the door i needed to go through about several times. anyway to cut a long story short 30 minutes in immergration and thank god they changed it for me so i can now stay in Canada till the 9th Decemeber.
