Role description

Early 20s, veiled, Jana is a Sudanese international student, an introvert-extrovert, fiercely independent to a fault. Currently studying at a University in Toronto, she came to Canada alone to pursue her dream .. of something. She is obsessed with three things: film, shisha and crochet. She can spend hours and hours watching, smoking and crocheting. She’s a combination of an old Arab man and a babushka at heart. With the end of the academic year, comes the end of her study permit, but Jana is strangely not anxious about what comes next. She is not much of a planner, she’s all about living in the moment and enjoying this day/this minute. She’s generous and quick to help, but does not accept it as easily. She keeps people at an arm’s length, not because she’s a loner, but because she’s selective and when she lets someone in, it’s usually for life. She doesn’t quite know what she wants to do with her life, but what’s exciting her is finding it out. Required: Must be a fluent Arabic speaker Special skills: crocheting Must be ok with: shisha smoking

A wise cracking Wikipedia wannabe with an opinion on everything, he thinks he’s got life figured out. Well, almost everything. He’s still searching for something. Something elusive. He’s not even sure what it is, maybe a higher power of sorts. In the meantime, his dream is to tour the world as a musician. And he’s got the plan to make it happen. Work for a few months, tour for a few months, no strings attached, except the ones on his guitar of course. He is soft launching this plan in Canada, first stop, Edmonton, where he heard it’s easy to find jobs that pay well. Special skills: guitar playing Must be ok with: shisha smoking
