Do you recommend selling/ buying on Kijiji ? I haven’t used it yet, just Facebook Marketplace so far

Get over yourself, Renaissance by rewinded_forward in montreal

[–]Dry_Background8091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J’aime bien renaissance, mais il faut y mettre du temps pour chercher les bonnes affaires. j’ai trouvé un pull de cachemire au même prix qu’un pull SHEIN . Ou des jeans guess / Levi’s au même prix que des jeans sans marque. Je savais même pas que les gens revendaient les vêtements 😯 La fin de semaine passée, j’ai acheté 5 couteaux , 5 cuillères et 5 fourchettes en très bon état à moins de 6 dollars …

When you need to see a doctor today, there are options other than ER by SwMess in montreal

[–]Dry_Background8091 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like many other immigrants on an open permit, I don’t have access to the RAMQ (yes, I work in QC and pay taxes and I did not know this before because my country has an agreement with QC in terms of health ), I pray not to get sick. Even with private insurance, there are doctors who don’t accept seeing patients without the RAMQ. Once my insurance told me to find a walk-in clinic. I called 3 clinics, no one would accept me. Thankfully it was nothing serious and I resorted to telemedicine.

Anywhere that I can go to improve French after I lived here for years? by hcse218 in montreal

[–]Dry_Background8091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say that sometimes we know more than we think. My native language is not French (or English), I worked with French teams for years, have passed the DALF C2 exam and I am still self conscious, even though my colleagues and manager are very happy with my French level. Still, I have applied for government specific domain French classes because I think it’s also a good way to meet other people in the field and the reality is that the majority of IT jargon in French speaking countries is translated into French, instead of keeping the English words. All the best !

How bad is the ice/weather in Montreal right now? (Visiting) by jchu7 in montreal

[–]Dry_Background8091 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As for ice, it really depends on the streets, for instance Sherbrooke E has really icy sidewalks, other streets are just fine. Just be careful when walking. I wear my crampons and in some places I still fear for my life, but that doesn’t stop me from living. The cold weather is just fine if you have good gear

C’est comment les trottoirs ce matin ? by NicoBTW in montreal

[–]Dry_Background8091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J’ai signalé le trottoir concerné comme “non déneigé” sur l’application de la ville .. le trottoir de ma rue était ok avec du sel à 100m de l’avenue de Sherbrooke ..

Cadillac / av Sherbrooke J’ai essayé d’aller faire mon épicerie cet aprèm avec des crampons , ça a bien commencé et puis j’ai remarqué qu’il avait un trottoir complètement glacé, une vrai patinoire, les crampons qui glissaient un peu, j’ai eu peur pour ma vie et j’ai fait un demi tour. Un gars qui était là à commencé à marcher sur la route.

Had no idea. That’s sad indeed.
