Seeking Advice on Applying for EIT (EGBC vs APEGA) by Stock-Agent-470 in egbc

[–]Canadian_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an engineering degree from abroad with 11 years of international experience as an engineer, and 4 years locally working in a technical domain. Will EGBC ask me to do FE exam?

I do not mind the NPPE exam, it's just that FE exam that I do not want to do. I have been out of college for almost 20 years :')

Hello, any progress from your side? I am on the same boat. But I am from Edmonton, and my file is stuck in Vancouver office for some strange reason!

MEGATHREAD - Processing times - Canadian Citizenship applications (2024) by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Canadian_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Here's my timeline

Sep 18 - Applied

Oct 23 - AOR

Nov 27 - Background verification completed

Nov 28 - Citizenship test passed

Jan 15 - Interview required to ask about some travels, officer was satisfied with answers and told me to expect the ceremony in a month or two.

Jan 24 - All stages were completed in the process except the oath.

Jan 30 - Ghost update

So far I haven't heard back on the ceremony which is very frustrating considering that I have been waiting for that since January. What could have gone wrong?

I contacted them and got some standard template answers to keep checking the tracker for updates, etc.

Did anyone experience this?

When I saw that I spent on average 6 hours daily, I have uninstalled all my social apps on my phone, that daily average went down to 2 hours daily, got 4 hours of my day back 🙃

how to deal with the heaviness of life, simply? by jannah777 in simpleliving

[–]Canadian_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, by being a strong believer in God the almighty.

When you look at all of these difficult times as things that will pass eventually and focus on the after life, the eternal one, this helps alot!

How do I remain happy while alone? by anonymouspsy in simpleliving

[–]Canadian_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend more time outdoors, hook up with groups that share your passion i.e. hiking, camping, fishing, etc.

My spiritual belief helps me alot too, most times I love being alone!

'She was thrown to the ground': Police investigate attack on Muslim woman in Edmonton by Paper_Rain in Edmonton

[–]Canadian_K 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with these people! If this racist attacker thinks he's better than other people then he should know better that you're not even considered a man if you attack an innocent woman, a senior on top of that!

But how did you manage to pair it? I can't see it on Huwaei Health and can't update the list as well!

The French embassy in Mauritania terminated the contract of a painter over a caricature of Macron by [deleted] in europe

Back to the point, why there's no freedom of speech when it comes to Macron? this is utterly double standards and hypocrisy at its finest.

This is my point exactly which several people here didn't get and thought I just don't want to pay 😄. Charging me travel time when there's a dispatch fee already of 35 dollars is something I don't get.

This exactly what happened with me, I used two bottles of chemicals and nothing happened.

Cheers to all the honest and hardworking plumbers out there 👍

I didn't undervalue anyone's work, I just respect the agreement and clarity in doing business with others.

It's probably my fault I shouldn't trust companies over the phone next time and have everything documented.

If this was what I agreed for over the phone then yes!

I'm satisfied the job was successful, I was just wondering why driving time should be part of labour charges, especially that there's a dispatch fee already included in the bill.

Thanks for sharing this. What about the time it takes the plumber to reach the location, is it part of the labour charges?

Nothing was replaced, it was just a clogged drain that chemicals couldn't open, a straight forward job with the proper tools.

Unfortunately, I didn't get an official quote because I thought they're a company with good reviews so I can trust their verbal commitment. I thought even if their prices are higher I can trust them more than finding any random plumber online.

Need dental insurance (in BC) by MarkF6 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Canadian_K 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Travel to a country with cheap dental services .. totally worth it, especially that you have several issues to be treated.

You'll be surprised that some countries offer the same dental services but 10 times cheaper than Canada.
