I have to write a resume to get a VISA for a show I'm doing in Canada. Anyone else apply for a Vias?

Just seems a little odd.

 

 

It's not a problem, just seems odd.... Is this a sign of the new times?

You were too honest. Are you being paid by a different company to the one you actually work for? If not, then you are just visiting.

I'm, being paid by the company that is sending me in. I have to document everything for the last decade in this resume. They want job specifics, etc. I can't remember what all I did 10 years back. Hell, I barely remembey last month.

 

I gotta write this thing in the next 3 days. damn

 

 

 

 

 

On another note,

Looks like I'm a senior enthusiast now. Where's the fanfare

thank you, thank you

It's been a great 5 years

 

 

No mining or tv. I am, however, a production electrician. So I've been on a few video, tv shoots, etc. I mostly do corporate, industrial lighting events. Like CES, E3, and there's been a lot of Boeing events lately.

 

Done my fair share of rock n roll also.

 

I stick with the corporate. That's where the money is at for us lighing folk.

I wouldn't sweat it too hard, Canada has a much more generous stance on immigration then the USA. Just fill out the paperwork honestly, answer a few ? S and your in. Unlike the USA we invite everyone in, none of te hassle to prove I'm not taking away an Americans job. When we go across we must say that we are observing or training in e USA or else wel get stopped at the border if they think it's short term work

Apparently the resume is to prove that I'm need for my job and that a local cannot be hired to replace me.... I guess I had to prove that my skill set is not easily replaced.

 

Thtat's how I understand it anyway.

 

So I'll be in Toronto for about a month. 1 week in the shop prepping the show and 3 weeks in the Air Canada Center. I hope to get some sight seeing in if there's time.

 

Last time I was in Toronto was during the riots... so no downtown for me. I didn't think I was goinig to get into the country. I got pulled into the side room... lame.

Not true at all. I go into Canada fairly often on business and it's a massive pain every time. Last fall I was denied entry because the job I was doing (relocating a piece of equipment I had previously installed for a customer) was not covered under NAFTA. To do that job my employer needs to submit a "labor market review" or something to prove that there is not an indivdual/organization in Canada that can do what we/I do. There isn't. My company is the North American division of a global company so any sales/service to Canadian customers goes through us. And ever since last September every time I've gone in I've been put through additional hassles because that red flag of denied entry shows up on my passport.

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
