Sounds like everybody is against you, Duane. Even the airline, which has been in business for quite a long time now.

Say, did you take any pictures of the nasty apartment before you cleaned it? Do you have copies of written grievances you made to your employer about the conditions? Did anybody else see it, or just you? And why are you waiting till you get to LA to go to the Canadian consulate? Probably all they will do is maybe give a call to the consulate in Guangzhou.

Too bad that degree from Berkeley didn't do you more good.
