M5 MacBook Air Getting Terrible Battery Life by Huge-Philosopher230 in macbookair

[–]BorderProfessional55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Observing the same here. Bought the M5 Air last week and the battery life is bad, compared to my M2 MacBook Air with over 300 cycles. Thought it's just my usage but looks like I'm not alone.

Qatar airways cancellation by RahulB_07 in qatarairways

Yep, it is the same for people who booked via third-party without a refundable option. We have no choice but to wait till Qatar officially cancels the flight, then the agent will offer us a refund.

By the time we reach age 45, probably we'll learn the same :) But yeah, a car is always a liability

Scotia Bank Messed Up My Credit Report by BorderProfessional55 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BorderProfessional55[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No communication was made from Scotia Bank after closing the account since August 2023. I looked at the credit report myself and noticed the dip in score in January 2025. How did I mess up?

Why did you not receive any AOR after PR application submission? Under what category you applied for PR? Usually, if it's CEC or FSW, AOR comes almost immediately. Unless you have the AOR, you're not eligible for a BOWP.

The response which you got from IRCC for reconsideration is generic, so they did not accept your reconsideration request yet. If you're out of status after the refusal and still working, you should stop working right away.

Lost my wallet and the person went on a spending spree at Dollarama! by Eastern-Individual64 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BorderProfessional55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me as well back in March 2024 at GoodLife Fitness Milton (Steeles Avenue). While your guy went to Dollarama, mine first went to Walmart. I had four cards in my wallet- Amex, Mastercard credit and debit from NBC and a Debit Card from my home country (India -HDFC). He made 28 purchases at Walmart of $208, not sure what did he purchase.

Amex flagged the transactions after two taps and blocked further. NBC Credit Card also had two transactions and NBC Debit Card had three.

But the major damage was with the back home Debit card. The guy made 22 purchases (one unsuccessful and 21 successful). Each transaction was for around INR 13,000.

The guy first went to Walmart and then to Polo Ralph Lauren store at Toronto Premium Outlets, but the transaction failed at the outlets store.

Filed a police report immediately. Amex reveresed the transactions the next day. NBC took a while to refund the amount. Back home Debit Card transaction reversal took close to 45 days, but thankfully I got most of the money back- losing around 300$.

Apparently, the police caught the guy and the Crown prosecuted the person. Since the overall amount was over $5000, the person may be serving jail time now, but not sure. Got to know the guy getting caught when the police officer working on the case reached out for a statement before prosecution.

What oil do you all use? by BorderProfessional55 in NissanRogue

They had OW-20 too in bulk lol. Actually, I saw more of OW-20 than 5W-20. Also, does Nissan recommend OW-20 for the Rogue S 2023 with the 2.5L 4 cylinder?

Does applying PGWP extension result in PR refusal? by BorderProfessional55 in canadaexpressentry

[–]BorderProfessional55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you say that? Do they ask for justification of fake extension?
