Oh my gosh I remember reading that too!

Try the Come to Canada tool (Google it). It's fairly useful, and Canada's immigration website is actually pretty informative and easy to understand:)

Aren't you supposed to have holes and/or some type of airflow beverage the mattress? Like I would never place solid wood without drilling in some air/ventilation holes. I've heard it also helps avoid mold and other nastys

A few years ago there was a popular 'loophole' where IEC visa holders would apply for express entry before their visa expired and then they were granted implied status (like a bridging status) until the decision was made. This allowed people to keep working and stay in Canada after their original IEC permit expired, until GC came back and either approved or denied the express entry application. There was a huge backlog so in some cases it could be an extra 3-4 months, especially if you lodged your application by mail. After they denied it they gave you some time (I think 90 days?) to then leave the country, but you had to stop working when the decision came back because your implied status was no longer valid. My question is, if someone who did this process was to return to Canada now, either as a tourist or with an actual work or study permit etc, will that flag any issues for them at the border?

Ocean. True, it is nice, but really not so much made for humans to live there.
