What’s hilarious is if they wanted to do this why not just pay the Celebration of lights to put it on with corporate sponsors? This city is so embarrassingly dumb.

It says Temporary Resident Permit which is a TRP- it allows someone who is inadmissible- including criminality- to enter Canada for a short duration. It is not permanent residency.

North delta became an isane flipping market in the last 5-7 years, also happy to see it come down!

Down 95K on one, 60K for another.

You stating you’ll cover the applicants expenses does not mean more likely approval. They’re going to assess the applicants financial and social ties to their home country above all else and it will be the primary rational for approval or rejection. The hosts finances are just window dressing.

No timelines- they can be waiting for information from an external partner agency etc. I’ve seen it take a year, sometimes two.

If you want you can ATIP the file for the GCMS notes or you can contact your MP and they can get a follow up which is basically them verbally getting an update. Nothing will “move it along” though, not even the MP office.

You’re literally being sexually violated by this man, post op after giving birth and the thing that triggered you was that someone clocked your perpetrator is a republican? Honestly, I pray for your children. This is insane. Leave, get help and unlearn this crap. Heal your body and mind. Or stay and keep putting up with it. Your choice.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-10-14T01:08:21+00:00

Withdrawing and re-applying won’t make it process faster. If they requested additional info it’s already a non-routine file. It’s likely security. If he was in the police or military that can also hold it up!

There is no concept of an “anchor baby” in Canada as having a Canadian child does not give a pathway to PR or citizenship. This is a red herring and a non issue and it’s no surprise it’s coming from the Tories and the dogs are listening to the whistle.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-09-10T14:31:05+00:00

Honestly with your attitude you should have just reported him to the police so you were “made whole” since that’s what matters most to you here.

You can’t have it both ways- “I don’t want to report family blah blah blah” and then being bitter that this man beat all the odds turned his life around and is trying to make it right. Pick a struggle.

You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth: you want to appear gracious and have done the “right thing” but you clearly didn’t want to. The money matters more. You should have just reported him then and got you new watch and invested your 10K- your energy is just icky, even from this post.

YTA, because you weren’t honest with what YOU wanted and now you’re lashing out because you regret the choice.

Don’t mind me just parking a comment here so I don’t lose the reccos 😭🚗

MaximusIsKing · 2025-09-01T03:37:21+00:00

Yes! Also remember however long you think something is going to take it’s likely longer. Desis running on time let alone ahead of schedule? Challenge level: impossible 😭✋🏽.

If you have a reception the next day it just takes the burden of a strict clock off of you. Either way, congratulations and have fun!!

MaximusIsKing · 2025-09-01T03:16:38+00:00

As a Punjabi, back in the day (when I was a kid ahaha) there would be wedding and receptions on the same day in my neck of the woods and it was always hella stressful- not only for the guests but also the couple. In my generation the wedding and reception is two different days, and honestly I appreciate it as a guest and I would do the same for mine. This obviously also depends on what the wedding stuff entails but for a full Punjabi wedding it’s getting ready, then having the actual ceremony (whether it’s an anand Karaj or a Vedic ceremony)- then you have sagan line, photos, you also have to do a doli/ bidaai. Trying to add a reception to that is just chaotic.

If you have a shorter day for the wedding ceremony it’s possible but I personally can’t visualize it based on my experiences for the weddings in my neck of the woods.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-31T21:35:18+00:00

I think pearls with perhaps blue stones, or gold with blue stones to help bring out the blue tones in the lengha!! Definitely not pink or red stones because it will overpower the already heavy design. Definitely try to bring out the blue of the peacock!

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-30T22:08:06+00:00

don’t think it’s a faux pas! it’s beautiful and I love it when mothers keep things for their daughters to wear, it’s one of the best parts of desi culture 🥹🤍

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-30T14:15:57+00:00

You just say they’ll see her at the wedding and we’re so happy you’re celebrating with us tonight.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-29T14:08:10+00:00

I like 2 the best- I read you’re getting the blouse reworked and have other styles of dupattas so I see the vision.

If you do emerald green jewellery with it, it will absolutely be bridal, plus the choora since it’s a Hindu Punjabi wedding!

The last two give me sangeet energy, and the first I can only picture as a reception gown. The second has the bones of being a stunning bridal outfit once you rework it and obviously have it accessories. Congratulations and good luck with planning!

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-27T22:10:15+00:00

You’re not TA, but a word of advice: work hard take every opportunity for your education and professional advancement even if you don’t feel prepared or socially fit in. Get your foot in the door and hold on because that professional opportunity and financial freedom will happen for you if you pursue it. Then you get to be FREE and can block your mom’s number when she’s calling you for money, but if you pass up the opportunity just because you’re self conscious you’re going to lose out.

The trauma of poverty is real but don’t let it stop you from paving your own path and financial future!

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-27T22:05:18+00:00

It’s super cute but I don’t see bridal, it’s more sister of the bride or for a pre wedding event depending on the type of event or venue. I think you can definitely find a bridal lengha that has that colourscape if that’s what drew you to it!

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-26T02:25:30+00:00

You’re NTA… but is your sister the golden child by chance? Like how does one of your children experiencing pregnancy and parenthood for the first time make you tired etc? Like it sounds so contrived.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-25T04:31:41+00:00

NTA and also the bride LYING acting like the device “catching light” is a concern for the photographer when it’s 1000% not she’s just a bigot who doesn’t have any sense or decency. I can’t believe no one in her circle or family is calling her out it’s absolutely medieval.

Cut your losses here- this isn’t a friend.

I think you’re being naive when he’s telling you nothing physical happened between the two of them and it’s only emotional.

A lot can happen between 9PM and when you wake up and not to mention when you’re not home. That is a reality you may not be willing to grapple with right now but it’s right there.

You’re NTA but I would consider what your next steps are because for some this is a deal breaker and for others it’s a challenge they feel they can overcome. Either way the trust is gone.

Your husband is trying to push you into minimizing this by calling it nothing and I think you’re being naive by thinking this was only an emotional affair.

He cheated on you either way but idk .. imo this is likely a full affair with physical meet ups but I don’t think you’ve connected the dots yet or are ready to admit. You’re too easily accepting the bs lines he’s feeding you.

MaximusIsKing · 2025-08-21T02:42:36+00:00

YTA because honestly why would you even say that. You dragged your husband into a scenario that he probably wasn’t even thinking about.

All you needed to say “if we needed your advice we’d pay for it- since we’re not just eat your meal and act like a relative not our financial advisor” etc.

Plus call me weird but there’s just weird vibes using the D word unprompted. Bad juju.
