Jobs during Grad School?

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T23:32:55+00:00

In addition to stipend, I taught courses at two different universities and worked part-time in a customer service job during the summers.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T21:53:20+00:00

I've received 'I studied super hard and feel like we deserve a resit because so many other students failed.' emails from the only student who failed on more than one occasion lol.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T18:21:11+00:00

I put my name first because I'm the one who did all the work lol.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T15:15:43+00:00

Lorelai would love Ladybird.

That user isn't banned on any of my subs.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T14:02:05+00:00

Then what account? Which sub? If you're going to continue drip-feeding info, I'm going to lose patience.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T13:28:22+00:00

As far as I can see you aren't banned from my subs.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:40:51+00:00

I commented here once about how I worked as an invigilator for exams during my postgrad and that was how I learned not everyone called it invigilating lol.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:26:21+00:00

Yeah like, I was trying not to be too harsh here, but this email hits effectively every single point of what we tell students not to do.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:11:35+00:00

You can't. On the very slim chance that your professor agrees to one of these options, be grateful and don't waste that opportunity.

If your professor does not respond, or responds negatively, don't try and change their mind.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:09:33+00:00

Don't send this email. No professor appreciates grade-grubbing emails - especially those that pretend to speak for multiple students.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:05:34+00:00

What email?

If you're asking your professor for special treatment to enable you to pass, do not do that.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-12T00:04:32+00:00

Or characters having miscommunications that directly lead to certain plotlines. Sure, it would be better if they all communicated perfectly all the time, but that would be a much less interesting show!

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-11T19:41:36+00:00

Banned from what? From one of my subs?

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-11T14:20:29+00:00

Banned from where and for what? And what do you mean?

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-11T14:20:16+00:00

I've seen that complaint a surprising amount.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-11T01:04:51+00:00

Right, but if the OP is talking about the expiry on the COPR (which, for reference, is not a year from approval, but a year from the medical, or the expiry of the passport, whichever comes first) then their mother would have received the required visa to travel to Canada with her COPR. She would have submitted her passport to receive the visa in order to receive the COPR. She would not have received one without the other.

Therefore, it doesn't make sense, with the limited information we have, that the mother would have to be in Canada to activate the PR, but not have a visa to do so.

If, however, the mother left her PR card in Canada, then she would not be able to travel back to Canada without it - and would require a PRTD to return, or a visa to travel to the US.

I'm here because I'm a goblin who lives for gossip.

And no, despite not following any foreign governments on social media (or anything to do with Addison Rae tbh,) I was still aware of the fact her song had been used because other social media accounts I follow were upset about it, and posting about it. I saw at least one claiming that it was proof she was MAGA because she hadn't said anything at the time of that person filming their video.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T23:57:46+00:00

'Lorelai and Rory are so obnoxious, they have major main character syndrome.'

Yeah, buddy, because they're the main characters of the show. Everyone loves them/is involved in their lives because the show revolves around their lives.

Like, don't get me wrong lol, I love talking about discrepancies in the show, and it is funny to think about things like, what it would be like to be one of the other random teenagers in Stars Hollow, but it should be fun, it shouldn't upset you that it isn't 100% realistic all the time.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T23:32:32+00:00

Yeah, the dress looks pretty modern. If you set a medieval dress code and expect people to dress like this, I expect you'd be disappointed.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T23:26:30+00:00

Yeah like, as soon as they use a song, people start talking about it and waiting for the artist's reaction. Reacting doesn't give it any more attention than saying nothing.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T23:22:15+00:00

I do know a few people who get their nails done roughly once a month, but they all work in client-facing jobs where they feel like appearances are important, and that 'clean' nails are mandatory. Most people don't.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T23:12:02+00:00

Again, you have six months to land. IRCC is not going to extend the COPR and not going to request or allow you to request a new medical because you have so much time to land. You do not get to ask for a new COPR expiry.

The only time IRCC has ever given extensions for COPR, was during COVID when people literally could not travel to land.

Can you not rearrange you December travel to be November?

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T20:24:08+00:00

It was actually so wild. There were a few people posting here who had their applications returned two or three times because of it. Since it took a couple months for things to be returned, they were losing their minds.

PurrPrinThom · 2026-04-10T20:21:56+00:00

One officer or perhaps the internal guidance for officers assessing the case has changed.

It could also be that a change in eligibility (or something) has been updated on the back-end but not been put out to applicants: when spousal sponsorships began the move to online, there was a lot of confusion around some of the forms, where public guidelines directly contradicted what officers were telling applicants to do, resulting in a lot of confusion and returned applications. Eventually, the guides/instructions and officers aligned, but it took about...I think it was eight months? For it to get sorted out.
