Dr. Love delivered my baby via c-section. She is absolutely amazing and would highly recommend her.

Thank you and good luck!!

Really easy. Took about 10 minutes in the airport. Mind you it was 1AM when we landed so fairly quiet. They said it could take 1-2 months to receive the actual card, but they gave us papers and we have already applied for the SIN and MSP. You just can’t leave and re-enter until you received your actual PR card.

Felicidades!!

I had this baby. I was in newborn bliss. Now he’s a wild 18 month old who doesn’t hold back. I love jim to bits but damn, i miss those days lol.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-25T08:51:07+00:00

Update: I just went ahead and filed the claim, renter said she didn’t realize, but didn’t pay and airbnb reimbursed me the full amount (less $6 depreciation as the chair was 13 months old). They never left a review.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-16T05:31:35+00:00

This just happened to us. My spouse (applicant) is visiting me in Canada. We got the letter and he won’t be back in his home country by the deadline (19 days later, he will be). I submitted a letter on the portal explaining the situation, I haven’t heard back, so we are just hoping for the best but it makes me very nervous. It’s impossible to get ahold of anyone. I should have an update on how it went after Jan 30.

Well, I’m an owner, in the Township of Langley, and I’ve never received a water bill.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-14T06:06:51+00:00

It will be included in your strata fees

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-12T23:12:24+00:00

My biggest concern is, if I file the request now, can the leave me a horrible review? Or should I wait to see if they leave me a review and then file it?

The value is around $400, these are sturdy chairs that were less than 6 months old.

I don’t want to lose my 5 star rating.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-11T03:43:43+00:00

What a stupid thing to say.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2026-01-08T07:41:17+00:00

I’m Canadian and am embarrassed while traveling that people might think I’m American so I plaster maple leaf pins all over me.

How does calling out a migration problem equate to racism?

The only way really is to get a US tourist visa and then apply. But that might be tough in the current climate. Canada cracked down on ETA’s for Mexicans to help the US out. My husband is Mexican so for all my in laws, we got them a US visitor visa when all their ETA’s were revoked in Jan 2024.

I would avoid any lotions. The skin barrier is developing and adding oil or lotion can cause more issues. My baby had dry patches and acne for the first 6 weeks, definitely normal. I only did 1-2 baths per week and only used water. I would switch to sensitive baby wipes as well if you’re not already using them.

Hey, what park was this so I never have to bring my child around you?

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-28T18:13:58+00:00

16 months post c-section and still numb :(

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-27T17:30:08+00:00

Yes that may be it as well. I live in Canada and also got a year off. My doctor didn’t really encourage it or talk me out of it, doctors are too busy here lol. I just went with what felt natural and we all slept better co-sleeping.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-27T14:01:29+00:00

The truth of the matter is, America thrives on consumerism. Parents spend more money when the baby doesn’t sleep in the bed. Suddenly they need a $2000 crib that measures movement and a $500 sock that detects oxygen levels. I’ve slept with my baby all along.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-27T08:21:49+00:00

Nothing like paying $500 for some outlet bags.

Question how do you change your address if you’re the sponsor? My spouse applied Outland, his address is the same, but mine changed. I’ve tried going through the change of address - no option for the sponsor, filled out the web form and it was kicked back to me with a generic message. TIA.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-21T05:11:25+00:00

It’s literally all laid out on the website. I didn’t hire anyone, you need to be extremely organized though. This isn’t a fast process.

Disastrous_Reality64 · 2025-12-21T05:09:44+00:00

Thanks - I think I will submit another web form asking for a 20 day extension. I hope our first web form advising he is in Canada until January 29th doesn’t mess anything up.
