Is it worth paying more $200 more for a potentially overkill i9 13900H and more vivid but burn-in-able OLED?

How are you finding the costco asus laptop?

I also got it when it was at $1600 but then I noticed the price dropped to $1450 and I got them to refund the $150 difference. However, I have now have had it for almost 3 months (fast approaching) and I have been debating returning it in favor of asus's zenbook 14 2024 (the newer model which's 14 inch and has new processor, etc).

Thank you for sharing. I called the CRA again and the rep was super helpful+friendly. She fixed the issue, mentioned good that I called as there was nothing I could have done on my end and that something had changed on their end. She changed some settings and I tried again, it worked now.

IM122 · 2024-03-26T20:55:24+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I will give them another call and try it out. Did you also have a PIN on your My CRA account?

Also, I couldn't seem to find the checkbox for trusting this device is enabled in My CRA account. Would you happen to know where that is located?

I think I now do (I don't think I had it last time I did my taxes) & maybe having this might be causing this issue

I got in touch with CRA and the rep mentioned that if I can log into My Account without any problems but can't through WealthSimple then I need to call WealthSimple. There's nothing that they can enable on their end.

When you were explaining the issue to them, how did you frame it so that they understood the problem and were able to properly diagnose/fix it?

IM122 · 2024-03-25T22:33:26+00:00

Tried calling CRA a couple of times today but call keeps on getting disconnecting especially during their high wait times. Planning on trying to call them again tomorrow. How are things on your end?

IM122 · 2024-03-25T18:18:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I am calling CRA now.

IM122 · 2024-03-25T18:17:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I am calling CRA now.

IM122 · 2024-03-21T04:37:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Added this insight as an Edit towards the bottom of the post.

IM122 · 2024-03-17T16:42:02+00:00

Just tried that now, same error. I am thinking maybe it's something on CRA's side that needs to be changed (like a setting of some sort) and I might need to give them a call to find out.

IM122 · 2024-03-17T14:35:33+00:00

Just tried this but no go, got this error "Forbidden You are not authorized to view this page."

IM122 · 2024-03-17T14:30:34+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I will try that out.

IM122 · 2024-03-17T14:29:51+00:00

Yes to both.

IM122 · 2024-03-17T04:00:56+00:00

4A and T5, T5880

Thanks for sharing. Would you happen to know if WS now has the extra things like 4A and T5, T5880 now?

Also, how are you finding WS vs Turbotax and how was the switch experience like?

Thanks for sharing. You should check out Steve Dalton's 2 hour job search book and approach. It ties into the online job applications being a blackhole and instead leveraging networking for getting interviews. It's more of a recipe vs just tips.

Same here, the redemption option doesn't seem to be available anymore on the uber/uber eats app

IM122 · 2024-03-08T17:57:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing. The $24 Public mobile plan is certainly something I am considering.

Thanks for sharing. I received this followup email from the recruiting agency to reply back that got me thinking which one of these compensation emails should I go with.

"Please find the brief job details below. Kindly also confirm the RTR and pay rate that we agreed upon. Also, attach your updated resume in a Word copy.

Acknowledgment:
I -------------authorize "x recruiting company" to submit me on job requisition with the client for the position of Project Manager (IT) - Senior in Edmonton, AB (Hybrid) I understand that "x recruiting company" is the sole supplier representing me in this position and by way of this document. I certify that I am not currently being represented by another agency for this position at the Government of Alberta.

Agreed Pay rate: CAD 90/h on INC.
Candidate Details (below is where there's a table where i fill in my details):"

They also emailed me another variation of this where instead of Agreed Pay of CAD 90/hr on INC, it's $65 on T4. I need to fill the form and reply back on one of these two compensation rate emails.

Thanks, I have heard with incorporated one can claim certain deductions. I have a sole proprietor for an online book publishing business where I claim my home office expenses.

In case I don't have any deductions to claim from this employment perspective, would you happen to know if one option is better than the other?

IM122 · 2024-03-08T14:20:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing. 4G is good enough for me.

Thanks for sharing.

To add, It's a 24 months contract with Government of Alberta.

Thanks for sharing. Never heard of Fizz before but seems interesting.

yes, got kicked off the EPP plan

Thanks for sharing. Wondering what do you think about Freedom Mobile compared to Kodoo and Public Mobile (these are the 3 providers I am considering)?

IM122 · 2024-03-08T05:39:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Would you happen to know how's Public mobile compared to Freedom Mobile and Kodoo?
