That's well @Spotted! ;)

In another life, I would be the person who writes captions at museums for paintings and objects, you know the kind of captions that are there just to f*** with people, haha. I thought of an example: To appreciate the work of Derrida, one has to evoke a primordial, pre-liminal state where valorizing originality is second to the performative force of the auteur. Derrida challenges the long-held assumptions about what defines a work of art by using nature as a trope, which is at once modern yet prototypical, seasonal yet relentless, untrammelled yet defined. The effect is to draw the viewer into a maze of not uncritical self-examination: Do I look beyond this space? Do I respond to this space? Do I correspond to this space? (Blah, blah, blah...)


I also think I would thrive at writing those mind-numbing reading comprehension sections of the GRE and GMAT. To answer your question, I have published some satire before but not for money. I continue to write short stories (fiction and non-), which I haven't published or attempted to turn into a source of income. Maybe that needs to change at some point. We'll see! You got any side hustles there? I sense a bit of wit and wickedness in you.

:) Your NOC is Financial and Investment Analyst, and I have no doubt that you are exceptional at it, but it does seem like your creative, literary and linguistic skills may be undeserved by your profession. Is it? Unless you are writing the Great Derkdsou Opus as your side-hustle?

I think you might speak/write English better than me. Maybe call and get IELTS to re-mark your test.

Ha, don't make me choke on my ramen! Texas and India are far enough away for you to be pulling my leg.
Your museum plaque writing puts my creative writing to shame.

My photos were rejected. Not sure why but I took them again with same walgreens store.I have submitted them and they reached Ottawa on April 4th. Waiting to see if they will reject again or approve my COPR.

@USProgrammer looks like your case is very similar to mine

I wonder why they are doing this. And by not giving any useful feedback, how the hell are we supposed to have an acceptable photo?

Exactly. Me and my wife were very irritated about not given proper reason for the rejection. Did you cut the photos or the store cut it for you? Walgreens near me said they do not cut Canada visa photos because they do not have the cutter.
