LostOneHelpMe

JustRoss23

LostOneHelpMe

Does a hostel need booked, or just walk in and demand a room job ?? haha

JustRoss23

book it bud just pay a bit of a deposit like 20euro for 10 nights i think it works out at 682 for the flight 2 years insurance and the 10% payment on the hostel.:D i see the 16th is a tuesday how ledgend will it be to go in and get the dole and then go to sign off and they say why.' oh i am flying to calgary in 5 hours haha:D

LostOneHelpMe

Bahahahahaha that would be fookin excellent to do that, I get my dole of a friday Fml. I might have to get insurance elsewhere that backpackers crowd only allow a two week holiday on theirs i plan to be home few times a year to see the child

JustRoss23

yea mate that sucks i i am going with blue insurance.ie not much better for your situation but it allows 2 2 week return trips to Ireland where as backpacker only allows 1

yo..............quick questions lads...............is it alright to book a one way or do I need to show proof I'm returning. I know one of my friends had to do this when he applied for the U.S. 12 months visa............. are we different i.e. one way is grand? cheers in advance.......waiting for loi ( only updated my application number tonight after 2 weeks of ignorant bliss.....has probably set me back in the pecking order ! )

LostOneHelpMe

Well 2 2 weeks return isnt bad ye know , i'll have a look around to see other ones now at the weekend , 2wks back at xmas will defo be one anyway,

JustRoss23

one ways fine mate:D

LostOneHelpMe

Its a two year visa so i'd imagine one way is fine i hope:)

JustRoss23

sure is insurance is costing us enough i cant even worry about buying a return

oreilly09

sweet as lads..........paranoid enough ill be sent packing ... i assumed as much ( based on the responses given on the thread - cheers! ) wish i came on this site while doing the application- now that was some pain in the stones !

JustRoss23

it sure was wen n where ya headinf for?

LostOneHelpMe

Ive never left Ireland im screwed lol

oreilly09

not heading til the start of june- managed to get 8 weeks work @ decent pay from a family friend so hopefully ill get some mula together from that.............heading to toronto but opened to cities like london and waterloo-kitchener............... fully aware that alberta and places probably offer better opportunities at the moment but i like the proximity of it to north east america ( 2 brothers living in NYC )..........if it doesn't work out Ill head west ! Where are you heading and when ? exciting stuff.........its only til you decide to go there than you realise canada's a pretty savage country !

JustRoss23

i think myself wasterex and lostonehelpme are all gonna tag and head together were all aiming for Calgary round the 16th april be good to travel with a few peeps makes the whole process a lot easier who noes we might hate each but at least it will be good to be able to split the taxi fee with 2 others:p

oreilly09

nice.........read and have seen plenty of youtube clips of calgary.............looks amazing. best of luck with the move lad. hope it all goes well for you- night and cheers for replying to my q!

JustRoss23

yeah no kidding donegal people at least getting a taxi beats getting public transport

was it the 13.05 BA flight

JustRoss23

yea mate that one or the 2.40 not sure yet:D and the Calgary flames are playing that night at home so Calgarys public transport will be packed with young-ens out on the liquor going in to the pubs to watch the matchs. and we will all be well ****ed from the flight so taxi be the safest bet:D
