Toronto Accommodation - summer '13

dean.kiely

hey

moving to toronto for the summer at the start of may until the end of august and wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction for accommodation. have initially been looking at university campuses that rent out for the summer but unsure if this is most appropriate.

where is the best place to settle for a few 23 year olds? any info is much appreciated!

Jesus I hope to god you're going on a holiday and you haven't wasted a 2 year IEC that could've gone to someone who'd ACTUALLY have stayed in the country for the maximum amount of time...:mad:

Of course he can, but

a) he's throwing away any future opportunity to go back to canada for the sake of a 3 month holiday

b) he's preventing one of the many thousands who couldn't get an IEC this year from being able to go and spend two years in the country

It's absolutely ridiculous (if he does have an IEC) that someone would be so shortsighted and selfish really. That's all.

And dean kiely will feel like a right pleb in a couple of years when he's all grown up and wants to actually go to Canada for more than a holiday and realises he'll never be able to get another IEC permit again

I agree with your first point (a) but not (b) or the last comment. its first come first serve people should have been quicker off the mark it had been predicated for weeks when it was going to open and that they would be gone in a matter of days at which people laughed at and said they were still some till may last year. suppose look who has the last laugh now:pac::pac:

I wouldn't class the lad wasting a potential 2 years in canada for the sake of a 3 month holiday (given he wouldn't have need an IEC visa to come over for 3 months to begin with) as having any kind of laugh at all to be honest

He'll rightly regret his stupidity in the future, and good enough for him tbh. Chance of a lifetime and he's throwing it away
