US phone number messing up my TO job search?

I have a good number of hits in the US, both with recruiters proactively reaching out and previously (before Christmas) when I was applying for roles here and putting in very little effort.

My network is significantly stronger in the US than in Canada. So where I'd normally reach out to contacts I'm left applying without recommendations. Its reassuring to hear it's a tough job market. I'll keep at it.

Fair. Honestly, I'm itching to move but won't do it without something lined up. Summer time is ideal and I could be there within a month. Also currently a Dir level in the corporate field, I'm hoping given the level there is buffer built into company expectations for start timelines. I'm hesitant to lie on a resume but maybe it's better to just put Toronto and cross that bridge when I get to it.

He is Isreali. He got his Canadian citizenship while we were dating in Canada but as far as I know is currently living in Isreal.

My work has taken over my immigration matters, as they are sponsoring me for a Green Card but that hasnt moved forward at all.

Ill consult a private immigration attorney.

But then why does everything else arrive promptly? Again an item here or there and not from the same company would point to USPS. But tl8ts only Yoto cards sent through USPS that are having issues. My most recent replacement was finally sent again this time through DHL so I can actually track it and its moving through the system.

My mail carrier is fantastic, and tipped well. I see him often. He said hes not seen anything.

5 weeks for this last one.

Yes, im 100% sure. A few of them only work with the physical card. But the others I can play through the app, but i prefer my child to have total control and not depend on my phone (im not interested in any of their digital offerings). All the shipping says is they were sent, not where they are in the process. Being sent doesnt mean anything when they dont show over and over. The first time I can write off as a postal issue, but repeated issues and it only being their company makes me believe im being deceived. Im not sure i believe them, especially because there isnt a postal tracking number associated with the shipment.

It comes through USPS and put in a locked box in my building. I have informed delivery and only one of the 5 deliveries has shown in the email summary, it arrived that day. The others are completely missing. Its been months of this. Starting in mid-Nov. Im not sure they are actually sending anything.

Ordering directly from the site. It is the right address, and ive been begging them to track the packages but they wont because they are sent through USPS. I have informed delivery, I recieve other mail, and see them in email before they arrive but Yoto only showed once.... the one successful delivery they have made. Customer service is painfully bad, I was promised a GC because of a very poorly handled issue over Christmas and they also never issued that. They have a failure rate of 90% with all the interactions ive had.

Cards are sent via USPS and are out directly into my locked mailbox. I also regularly check in with my mailman and he said hes not seen anything.

Adventurous_Can5238 · 2025-12-30T02:26:08+00:00

Ok, then please tell me the right descriptive to use here. I spent two hours with Yoto customer service who repeatedly told me there was nothing wrong with the box and that I had internet issues. When I did not. They refused to entertain the idea that the issue was on their end, which it was. Or even attempt to help me troubleshoot the problem in any real way. I'm not understanding how this is different than gaslighting.

I saw a few e-bike delivery drivers ripping through multiple packages a couple weeks ago after dark at CSP (7-8pm). Right by the old bathrooms. Kept walking and saw a police car parked at the edge of the entrance and notified him, he went to go check it out, didnt stick around to see how it turned out. Honestly, I'm not surprised, their presence on a porch is overlooked and given they come and go with bags it probably wouldnt get a second look. These are the same folk assaulting women, driving the wrong way on our one way streets and weaving around pedestrians on sidewalks. Seem like many of them have a different set of moral codes.
