Canadian Customs Officials Want To See the Bare Facts
Baring all for Canada
FOREIGN STRIPPERS MUST SUPPLY NUDE STAGE PHOTOS TO OFFICIALS
By TOM GODFREY, TORONTO SUN
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS are having to pore through naked pictures of hundreds of exotic dancers to keep impostors out of Canada. Foreign strippers planning to table dance in clubs here must now provide photos of themselves with no clothes on to qualify for a visa for Canada, immigration officials say. | Ok, so where do you apply for a job as a Titty Inspector? |
"Stage photos during performances are required," said Sergio Mercado, of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico. | DVDs optional, but preferred. |
MEMO TO VISA OFFICERS In a memo to fellow visa officers around the world, Mercado said if a dancer passes the no-clothes test, they may then require a police certificate or medical examination. | Or a performance at the next Immigration staff meeting. |
The memo was obtained from access to information documents obtained by the Sun. The potential dancers have to prove they can dance in the nude, immigration lawyer Mendel Green said yesterday. "They can't be partially nude," he said. "If they don't have pictures in the nude, they are not going to wiggle their bottoms in Canada." | If you don't have a valid passport, no problem. Come from a terrorist supporting country, no problem. No nude photos, now we have a problem! |
Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said the women have to show nude pictures to ensure they're not abusing the system. | There's something deeply wrong with that sentence. |
When it comes to Russia, the visa officers are looking for "headline performers" who can be paid up to $5,000 weekly and are often featured in ads of which they are expected to have copies. | Looking for girls with "really big headlines". |
PHOTO SPREADS Officers at the Canadian Embassy in Moscow said most headliners have been subject of photo spreads after vying for "Miss Nude North America or Miss Nude Europe" contests. | I guess "Miss Nude Saudi Arabia" didn't make the cut.... oops, poor choice of words. |
Immigration officer Dorothy Christie said once dancers arrive here they are usually placed in strip club lodgings and paid $60 every time they're on stage, $10 for a lapdance and $20 for a VIP room lapdance. | Then there are the optional performances.... |
Each week the women must pay $100 to an pimp agent and $50 for a off-duty vice cop driver as well as $10 nightly to a pimp DJ, the officer said.
We now know why the war on terror is such an enigma to Canada.
