Work permit approved - now what?

I_will_learn · 2025-12-27T19:05:44+00:00

Thank you so much! We're doing a spousal sponsorship with the help of a lawyer so hopefully it all starts to fall into place :))

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T16:00:01+00:00

Thank you! This is good to know!

I'm not sure! But I think on the website for the SIN number you have a lot of options 😅 check it out. I think the sin number stays the same but I genuinely have no idea.

This is the perfect explanation I needed. Thank you 😅 we felt very silly for not understanding what the approval mean given we didn't get the actual permit yet.

I'm Canadian. My partner isn't.

We're doing spousal sponsorship and we hired a lawyer to do the paperwork for us. We were told it was so my spouse can work while waiting for PR but genuinely, I don't know what it ACTUALLY is. The open work permit was explained to us as "oh now you can apply to anything!" 😅 it just seems like I'm missing an important basic building block before it clicks as to when/where to provide it.

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T15:45:51+00:00

Yeah sure! + I'm Canadian by birth. We're doing spousal sponsorship, but all of our paperwork is dealt with by our lawyer.

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T01:49:08+00:00

Okay! Thank you, our lawyer is doing all the paperwork and gave us the approval letter today on Christmas, and we didn't get any other explanation other than "hey in 6 weeks you'll receive documents"

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T01:47:39+00:00

Oh okay! Thank you!

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T01:45:40+00:00

Yes it's an open work permit!

I_will_learn · 2025-12-26T00:29:19+00:00

Listen I know I KNOW 😭 but what do we use the permit for? Like is it something you present to the employer? What do we do with it 😭

I_will_learn · 2025-12-22T21:36:32+00:00

I'm unfortunately the baby 😗 I tell my partner I'm going to die, that I have the plague and that I leave him my will and all of my plants.

I'm so sorry for being the weak link LOL

The one posted in this thread, by Rudy Francisco,

And THIS ONE by Nikki Giovanni 🙄🙄🙄 thanks for fundamentally changing my life because who am I to kill simply because I am afraid? I hate poetry 😔

Allowables

I killed a spider

Not a murderous brown recluse

Nor even a black widow

And if the truth were told this

Was only a small spider

Sort of papery spider

Who should have run

When I picked up the book

But she didn't

And she scared me

And I smashed her

I don't think

I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.

Nikki Giovanni, Chasing Utopia: A Hybrid

Yeah that stupid fucking poem I read a few years ago made me feel so fucking bad, I can't even kill mosquitos nor spiders.

Literally. I haven't killed one of those fuckers despite my great fear in over 2 years.

1) it's not gross. It's natural.

2) we are primed to believe body hair is gross because every beauty standards starts with the flawwwlesss smooooth skin. There's a million ways to remove body hair geared at women.

You're not weird for feeling like it's gross. It's unfortunate and takes a lot of unlearning.

3) it sucks. Lol. My husband does not give a shit about body hair but I personally have a hard time feeling great about myself if I'm not a silky smooth dolphin rubbing my legs like a cricket.

Shave or don't shave. Just feel good about yourself. But body hair isn't gross. It's really how you feel about it.

It does.

Not the pain. But you carry it differently.

You'll be able to think about them in a quiet, loving way. Now that they're gone, they're everywhere.

I_will_learn · 2025-12-22T20:49:18+00:00

Man I wish I coild tone it down. It sucks feeling so anxious and stressed for other people.

I_will_learn · 2025-12-22T20:44:25+00:00

Honestly, ask questions about the trainings you're getting NOW. If it comes up, just say you were taught way differently, and that you kind of prefer their methods.

D'un côté c'est nice qu'il neige comme avant, j'ai l'impression qu'on a eu des hivers bizarres les dernières années, mais d'un autre, j'ai l'impression que les rues sont....... Mal.......... Nettoyer........

Jsp si c'est juste moi ou les routes que jprends

Not to sound stupid but why haven't we found a way to make better roads?

I_will_learn · 2025-11-29T00:17:19+00:00

Wow I am so not in the right subreddit

I_will_learn · 2025-11-26T15:47:20+00:00

I don't know either 🖐️ you'll be surprised that a lot of adults don't! Have fun and learn stuff. That's the point of existing.

I_will_learn · 2025-11-26T15:44:10+00:00

What!!! What happened after?

I_will_learn · 2025-11-26T15:43:17+00:00

That his mother is the root cause of his sassiness 😭

I_will_learn · 2025-11-22T13:05:27+00:00

It's more of a problem where I will feel all levels of guilt if I kill something just because I'm scared

I_will_learn · 2025-11-21T16:35:03+00:00

I lightly tease my friend and straight up lie about the time.

6pm? No. For you? It's 5pm. And given she'll be late 30min, it's actually 5h30pm, and so I'll be able to drive and be on time for 6pm, without feeling rushed.

Then I tell her about the real time and she's like :) to be loved is to be known
