While Canadians are using “elbows up” diplomacy with the white house, they are welcoming U.S. tourists with open arms.

    What generally happens to one who enters Canada on a tourist visa, and overstays? Are they generally on top of that shit and will find you and give you the boot? Or is it like a “lay low, don’t draw attention to yourself, and you can fly under the radar” type thing?

    Asking for a friend.

        Do “under the table” jobs exist in Canada? And if so, how widespread are they?

      We don’t have an ICE equivalent hunting down and kidnapping people on the streets if that’s what you’re worried about.

      Mainly it’ll be very difficult to get work, you’ll probably be homeless (which really really sucks in the snow…), and whenever the cops do catch up with you, you will be deported when they realize your status.
