Unpaid internship is illegal in countries which have a minimum wage which is most Western countries. There may be cases of people being exploited illegally but I don't think this is common for legal migrants.

I still do lol..COVID has delayed my departure. The renewal is just in case I need to go back into Canada beyond my current validity period.

I have a job offer elsewhere. Just waiting on the contract and visa to get sorted at the moment.

I see migration is still a hot topic, despite the pandemic...albeit less than before....

And the usual suspects still around.... Feynman, Kenji etc....

Specific to Australia, migration is almost at a standstill for most of this year....those granted visas cannot enter anyway....

take beer

I heard similar things for Canada tbh, I've gotta take a closer look at it over the weekend...

And lol I did get a permanent job back in Taipei, I also had a Taiwanese girlfriend, but man oh man it just wasn't the place for me. I don't regret any of it though. Because Taiwan is way too controlled; the people there are fake as hell; the news is a joke; the political environment is hyper unsteady with the threats of China becoming ever present; Taiwanese companies not growing much anymore aside from the financial services sector; etc.

Yes, there are a lot of things to be loved, but it's really not that great. Same goes to a lot of places I guess, just that specifically, that country ain't for me.
