    Default Canadian working in UK

    So I have been considering doing the Work Holiday Visa in the UK. This entitles me to work up to half of my time there for up to 2 years.
    Now I was thinking I could strip there but if I wanted to strip more than half the time would it be hard to hide that? with the visa I would legally be able to work there but I suppose they would keep track of how many hours I worked. Would it be better to get dancing work in the UK through an agency beforehand? Because I wanted a lot of freedom in where I stay during those 2 years so I hoped I could just get the work holiday visa and just look for good clubs on my own. I know it's really expensive to live in the UK so if I could afford it working part time dancing then it would be fine but I worry that it may bot be enough??
    Any body done something like this?

    I've done it, though I didn't work over the 2 years. I subsequently went back and worked illegally (using my old visa #), which taught me that they really don't keep track of that stuff.

    Esp being self employed, you wont be applying for your tax back or anything, so I see zero probs, as that's basically the only way it can be tracked.

    You don't need a job before you go over- in fact, I'd advise against even mentionng job porspects, as it's unnecessarily confusing tot the people processing your visa, who are used to the Student Work Abroad protocol. (check travel cuts SWAP website for a bunch of info)

    have fun!
