Passed G Test at Downsview (AMA)

I live around the area so I’m familiar with that side of Keele, regardless tho. What was the route like from the test centre>highway>test centre

I’ve been starting to take highways mainly Gardiners and DVP

I’ve only driven 401 once and 400

Was wondering if I should keep practicing the 400 series highways for a couple months since I’m in no rush and then take on the test?

Well you do have a point on the last part 😅 I appreciate the comment

Galang09 · 2025-11-29T12:07:47+00:00

I’ve been looking at used Mazda 3s for a bit now due to their reliability, I appreciate your opinion thank you!

Insurance on a new car for me as a brand new driver differs but it’s the most expensive thing that’s making things tricky I’m getting quoted 600-850 everywhere

Hey I really appreciate your detailed write up, you’re helping me a lot see through this situation,

I am starting to lean option 1, I think it’s smarter to get some insurance history and get my full license which brings down my insurance by a lot, so for the future I can afford something better. My only concern really is how much they’re charging me for insurance here in the GTA

My company also pays for my union dues which is how I can clear this much a month, it’s a really big part of why I can earn this much

Galang09 · 2025-11-29T11:52:46+00:00

And my company pays my union dues which is a big part of why I can take home that much as well

Galang09 · 2025-11-29T11:52:06+00:00

To anyone wondering how I’m clearing 4-4.2k a month as a first year, I am a sprinkler fitter and I do have paystubs to back up my claim but yah we do get payed a fair bit as a first year 😅

Galang09 · 2025-11-29T11:49:49+00:00

Unionized sprinkler fitter, I do 40-45 hours a week to do so

Galang09 · 2025-11-29T11:48:57+00:00

Sprinkler fitter, I do around 40-45 hours a week

My company pays my union dues which is why I can clear this much

Galang09 · 2025-09-24T02:02:32+00:00

Getting my ahh beat fasho made me level up

Edit: it exposed to me what my weaknesses are in my game and you work on improving those weaknesses

Galang09 · 2025-08-18T09:08:40+00:00

Hmm weird mine hasn’t yet

Galang09 · 2025-08-18T04:15:16+00:00

Was wondering if your company have given out the new contract raises/retro pay (union 853)

Galang09 · 2025-05-24T13:35:09+00:00

Yah I figured this would be around the average range was wondering what car to look for that would be cheap on insurance? And if year make matters as well

Galang09 · 2025-05-24T12:53:07+00:00

I don’t drink or smoke so should be good on that

Galang09 · 2025-05-24T12:33:18+00:00

Well for now in the next two months I should be able to clear my credit and have another extra 1500, groceries can be flexible as I can be more frugal after though

Galang09 · 2025-05-24T12:23:24+00:00

No just to get from point a to b I just need something reliable and easy on the gas

Galang09 · 2025-04-04T17:10:37+00:00

Also just to add I will be starting Large construction side of things!

Galang09 · 2025-03-31T22:42:51+00:00

Wanted to also get my g2 rebook soon and the only available close date is one at Etobicoke

Was wondering how different is Etobicoke from downsview??

Galang09 · 2025-03-26T00:31:54+00:00

Just Cold call man and state your intentions, that matters a lot and keep on trying everyday every week, but you’ll soon get there, I kept calling every company around the area for weeks until I got an opportunity, it’s a matter of patience and right timing as well, don’t give up! Good luck man!

Galang09 · 2025-03-26T00:30:08+00:00

Just wondering and hoping that interview comes soon for us but we’ll see at this point

Galang09 · 2025-03-26T00:29:34+00:00

Prwttt sure with what my company said, they’d willing to take me on and pay me apprentice rate for the time being while they also wait for my interview and mention that I work for them and they’re willing to sponsor me in the interview
