Here’s an update; I still have no Internet, this is equally frustrating and crippling as I’m sure you can imagine. I’ve been turned down for a credit card by two institutions but that search continues, this is also quite crippling. Apart from those stumbling blocks, living and working are going well.
Bought my first pair of ice skates at the weekend, or if referring to ice hockey as anything other than “hockey” is a faux pas, perhaps they should simply be called “skates”. Went skating at the square in front of Town Hall . There were fireworks later which I got to almost see between two tall buildings from a far-away roof-top, it was still kinda cool.

Why not use your Irish credit card, you could pay the bill relatively speedily via Paypal perhaps?
Don’t they have Visa debit cards in Canada?
I still have my Irish credit card but getting money from one country to another is both difficult and very costly.
The best option I have right now is PayPal funded from my Canadian bank account.
You know my experiences and s0’s on the credit card front. Secured or debit are probably your only real options without a credit rating.
My cousin wants to go skating at Nathan Phillips Square this week - would you go again so soon?
try mbna.ca
Both of the cards I was turned down for were secured.
Yes to the skating, was planning on going again during the week.
Did you try MBNA? Seriously, they’ll give anyone a card!
ANYONE.
