Replying to Reaching out for help.

JmckR:
I'm fed up and tired of living here in the UK, it fucking sucks.

I got my ass into gear and decided to spend last season in Canada on a ski instructor course, thankfully I passed my exams and I've actually been offered a job out there for this winter. However the Canadian embassy is yet to offer me a working holiday visa, despite me applying November last year, and by now I assume the jobs will have understandably been offered elsewhere.

I had a chance to actually do something with my life and it's been taken away from me. It's luck of the draw who gets a work visa each year and even though I applied all the way back in November somehow I never got selected. Also I've not had a chance to earn enough money this summer to spend a season abroad without work, so that's out of the window. So basically fuck Canada, it's not going to happen without a visa. This whole situ has pissed me off so much.

I'm not asking for money! I'm asking if anyone has any tips or ideas for me... I'm desperate. Or if anyone out on NS has any names/contacts for me in the US that could assist with a work visa? It's worth asking, where better to ask than a ski-community. I've sent out countless emails to US ski resorts asking if they can help me but barely half of them could even be bothered to reply.

Sorry for the essay, cheers to whoever has bothered to read this far.... I know skiing is where my heart is right now...Wtf should I do???
