chickenlips Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Maybe Howard could address this. We have to travel to Guad to renew passports so we would welcome the same service as the Americans have at the LCS. I understand that there is a a sizable number of Canadians residing at Lakeside as well as members of the LCS. Just wondering. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 We agree.............you know there are a good number of Canadians here, could LCS not invite our consulate out.......even once every 3 months or so.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosalamx Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I think it is more likely that the Canadian Consulate has been invited and has declined, than that the LCS has not invited them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobyjug Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 The state departments of all the countries represented in MX are cutting back to cope with their various level of debt reduction etc..do not look for improved local representation...but more transaction's etc by electronic mail..whilst we may think Lakesiders need more help, statics show that transits in places like PV and Cancun need more help and get into more trouble!!

I understand that there is a a sizable number of Canadians residing at Lakeside as well as members of the LCS. Just wondering. Thanks I'm not Canadian---but the former Canadian Counsel General Kathryn Aleong is my friend and (neighbor- until 2 weeks ago)This is basically what she told me- The Amercian Consulate has approx 150 staff here in Guadalajara to handle these issues. The Canadian Counsel Generals office here in Guadalajara in the World Trade Center is not large enough (maybe 20 staff)and is basically a Trade Commission office. The Government of Canada consolidates Visa and Passport services in Mexico City where they have the staff trained to provide this service for reasons as posted in Tobyjug's comment above.

Mike Riley Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 You are right: member names in gibberish indicate forum spam. ('Bots scour the Web looking for sign-up pages, enter a garbage name and password, and start posting ads.) I was astounded at the number of spam applications received on a daily basis last time I ran a webboard. I had to institute an "approval policy" for applications, so each night I could go through the list of applicants and decline the spammers. It got to be a far bigger job than running the board. Eventually I had to just stop accepting memberships, and that was the end of that board. I'm guessing that there is software for this board to ease the situation.
