Today, I was volunteering at an Indian hospital through a Canadian volunteer agency after paying $3000. It was my first day, but I got deported for having an incorrect visa. I had a tourist visa when I was supposed to have a "miscellaneous" visa. I got deported for volunteering. FML

Today, I was at work serving customers at the checkout. A girl was brushing the floor behind me. I turned around and whichever way she brushed, the brush hit me twice straight in the balls before she noticed anything. She had to serve the rest of the customers while I recovered. FML

Today, I couldn't prove my son has had chickenpox, so his school gave us the option of getting a potentially dangerous shot he didn't need, pay for an expensive blood test to show that he previously had the virus, or sign a waiver stating I'm a religious nut refusing medical treatment. FML

Today, after spending 5+ hours of my life painting a portrait of someone's cat for them, I finally finished it, perfect condition, no mistakes. I was supposed to be paid 300 bucks for it. Got 50 bucks because it was too "vibrant." FML

Did you, or the agency,check this beforehand? After all, as a volunteer, you're not a tourist...

I'm going with YDI, I've always had to give details about my trip when I apply for a visa. More than once I was reminded that I can't work on tourist visa. The applications also say it.

Many countries separate volunteering from tourism in their visa regimes. YDI for not doing your homework. Your intent is irrelevant.

I mean apart from the general advice to always double check yourself - take this up with the agency. What have they been doing with your money if they can't even get you the correct visa for it?
