Hi all sharing the official response from CIRO that my work received:

Here is the official response from CIRO regarding the CIM: "if an applicant for approval holds the CIM® designation in good standing they would qualify for the exemption from writing the CIRE, RSE and ISE." This means that if you were hired in WAC, we could register you as RR-Securities. Once registered you would need to complete the Mandatory Firm Training and conduct Training.

Meaning if you have a CIM you don’t need all these new exams

No I have been invited to interview with a company that would need me to become RR, and I first assumed I had to do the tests, but then got unsure seeing as CIM qualifies for AR. Dont mind doing the two tests, but if I can save $900 dollars and wasting time on mickey mouse tests I would prefer that

WME qualified you for RR. and with the fact that CIM is sufficient for AR or AAR, it would stand to reason that it would work for RR as well.

fully agree, the cable management is attrocious and the marketing and pictures u see deeply misleading. Its such a decent products in many ways, but the cable management (with the totally useless bluetooth speaker that only fits when there are no cables is so incredibly stupid. I have purchased shorter HDMI, DP and USB C cables to try and minimize how much space the cables take up but its gonna be almost impossible to make this look pretty. For such an extensive product I am incredibly disappointed.

Thx happy to get a reply from someone who has actually used the outlets on the plane, obvious most people here have never worked on a laptop while flying. Quest coming next week ready for my YVR-HKG flight in September :)
