CanaDopers -- A Reason to Join the Foreign Service

[Polycarp]

Foreign strippers planning to dance in Canadian clubs must now provide photos of themselves with no clothes on to qualify for a visa for Canada.

The Canadian Embassy in Mexico says "stage photos during performances are required.’’

Immigration officers are having to pore through naked pictures of hundreds of exotic dancers to keep imposters out of Canada.

You know, immigration Canada is just asking for stage photos, without or without clothes. Just seems to be this Mercado guy quoted in all the stories who wants the naked photos

According to this BBC story, Canada has a national stripper shortage. Who knew?

Sounds like these guys are just trying to scare up some stroke material.
