Canada Mega Thread - Information and Advice
question: does anyone have a good snow/weather/forecast app they use for the west coast?
I always used http://www.snow-forecast.com/ whilst I was in Whistler
I’m at the Samsun hostel at the moment, met loads of awesome people, nobody going to sun peaks since everyone is working holiday club people lol.
Bank accounts are still annoying me but are getting closer to being done. I had $4 this morning since the bank had a hold on my account. I did fix that up though so it’s all good now 
Hopefully commonwealth bank can pull their finger out and not charge me 100 in fees to transfer money :(
If any one has any questions, hit me up and I’ll help out. Would have been nice to have some of the info I know now when I arrived lol
P.S. my bank card is going to have a Bruins logo on it

also TJ if your looking to transfer a decent amount of money its always better to use websites like Ausforex.

They dont have an app I dont think. I just added them to my homepage. The Whistler app weather/snow report was mostly the same. I cant remember if you are in Whistler or elsewhere tho…
I’ve got the Oakley Snow APP, that’s got cams/forecasts, etc!!!!!
But I do use it in conjunction with other sites to get a better picture!!!!!

Haha with you guys worrying… I handed over my passport and she gave it back 5 minutes later with a work visa in it. Most people here had a very similar experience

Simple answer = NO (I’m speaking from 3 visas experience and everyone else I’ve ever met whilst living in Canada.
