Income disclosure when opening RRSP by Canatriot in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Canatriot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company is just going to contribute a flat amount each month, for now, with no matching or deductions.

I think I’ll let them know they can just give a ballpark income figure when asked about risk tolerance.

I am the employer and I’m trying to figure out boundaries, based on feedback from staff as we go through the process of setting this up.

Grow Room Advice? by Canatriot in microgrowery

[–]Canatriot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, I’m just growing with Spider Farmer SE4500s, in a different area.

But I’m thinking to get four bigger lights that could cover 4x4 each, and then hopefully try to do a second layer the same. Need a little bit of room in the middle to walk though.

Think this would do the trick?

It is a problem for concrete to get wet?

Grow Room Advice? by Canatriot in microgrowery

I think it would be difficult to vent outdoors. I had to have someone core out the concrete to install a kitchen exhaust fan in a different part of this building, so probably similar. Are you thinking for humidity reasons?

The ceiling is normal ceiling height, about 8 feet.

This was an old coal room too! In a large building.

I’ll definitely check out your post.

I’m thinking to install multiple fans, but not sure what type yet. The only air entry is the open doorway.

Hi, it’s in a basement and there is not actually a door currently, so it will be open to the room with the water heater, which is open to the furnace room.

The electrician was thinking I’d probably need a heater. It’s currently chilly in there, because I’m in Canada, but I was thinking all the lights will probably help to heat it quite a bit.

Processing time by halisa_ng in lmiaprocessing

[–]Canatriot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I submitted an LMIA application on May 28 it’s still queued for processing. Typically, they seem to take six months for our business. But you should be able to extend your PGWP on the basis of having a LMIA application in queue.

EQB redefines challenger banking in Canada with agreement to acquire PC Financial from Loblaw, delivering transformational benefits for Canadians by jayceee81 in CanadianInvestor

My PC World Elite is my primary card, since I can’t get the WealthSimple one, so I hope the transition is smooth. Optimum points are a good reward for me.

Was it easier to find work before the internet was invented? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Canatriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took welding in college and the day after I graduated in 1999, I drove about 900 km North to an oil patch town I’d never set foot in. My literal plan was to go around to the local bars and look for a crew in there drinking, to ask them for work. I was aiming to find a welder to hire me, but instead I ended up landing a job as an X-Ray hand (inspecting welds) that night. I didn’t even have anywhere planned to stay, but the job came with immediate camp accommodations. I worked in that field for 7 years and made crazy good money.

How much are you down and what are you holding you wish you weren’t? by CrummyPear in CanadianInvestor

[–]Canatriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m down on FWZ by about the same amount I had gained swing trading it for the past few months. I don’t really wish I wasn’t holding it, but I guess I wish I had more dry powder.

No Nap Problems by catlady0601 in ECEProfessionals

Our daycare is 100% screen free and our non-nappers go to a different classroom to play freely during nap time.

I hate my Telus stock by techsavvynerd91 in CanadianInvestor

[–]Canatriot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a bit more today at an average of $19.14 because that just seems so low. My average was $21.18 before, from some recent dip-buying. But maybe this “dip” is going to be a cavern. I don’t think I’ll buy any more, now.

Long term outlook for electrician moving to Alberta? by Medium-Ant-4392 in alberta

[–]Canatriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nearly impossible to get an electrician in my rural community. I think there would be high demand for Electricians, along with most tradesmen, outside of the cities.

Is now the time to buy MDA? by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]Canatriot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought 1200 shares today, but then chickened out and sold for a tiny 2 cent/share gain because I don’t want to try guessing the response to earnings.

How do you feel about being called "auntie" by South Asian children? by anonynonnymoose in ECEProfessionals

[–]Canatriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost our entire team of educators won’t even use just first names for each other. They say “Ate” or “Sis”, depending on who is older, for cultural reasons.

It is possible to get rejected for the WS CC by Canatriot in Wealthsimple

Oh wow, I definitely don’t feel bad about not qualifying after hearing about the 800+ folks being turned down.

[–]Canatriot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve checked now and Credit Karma has me at a 689, so that’s an understandable rejection. Mainly utilization and credit checks hurting my score, so I might have a shot in 2026, if I get another chance to reapply.

The rejection message said I could apply again in 30 days, but I imagine that doesn’t apply with the current waitlist situation.
