When my friends learned I was doing a side trip to Geneva after Madrid, they
all said it would be costly. To my defense, I’d always reply, “Why not?”. The
truth is Geneva has been on my bucket list since high school. Geneva was a
great start to my Switzerland adventure from CERN to the famous Jet d’Eau and
the home of Swiss Knife and Patek Philippe. For four days, I explored Geneva
and the nearby towns around the lake and got enamored by its beauty, grandeur,
and quiet luxury.
Are you considering a long or working stay in Canada? Then check out our list of vital things you’ll need to do before you go.
Get yourself a visa or work permit.
First, you will need a visa or work permit to enter Canada at the border. There are different visas and permits for different purposes, so be sure to get the one for work if you will be working.
These documents can sometimes take months to arrange and require lots of evidence, so it is best to sort these well ahead of time. Remember, if you do not have the correct documents that allow you to stay/work, you risk being denied entry into the country, deportation, and imprisonment.
