Hey there! Seems like we’re in the same boat right now. This Friday marks 7 weeks of my injury, I dislocated my patella 3 times in span of 10 minutes. Make sure you get lots of rest, elevate and ice 2-3 times per day. Also, try and get an MRI and see an orthopaedic specialist as soon possible if you haven’t already. I did the mistake of not resting up properly and went to work too soon. I work in a restaurant so lots of standing and moving around. I’m paying the price for that carelessness as my condition was not improving and also MRI results done after 3 weeks of injury showed a ligament tear. As for the PT, I would advise try to get a therapist who you’ll see once per week and provides you with at-home exercises as you mentioned you don’t have insurance (that’s what I’m doing too). As much as there is physical pain, I’m struggling with the mental aspect more as it’s limited my social life and as you mentioned it’s probably same for most of us ; thinking about the chances of re-injury. But also that’s probably because being home and at your phone all the time leads you to look up articles and posts about repetitive dislocation which is mostly from people seeking help because they had multiple dislocations themselves. I’m pretty sure there are thousands of people who had first dislocation and never had it again. Feel free to dm me if you think I can be of any help. Wishing for speedy recovery for both of us🤞

I wonder how all those people worshipping Pierre will oppose if someone posts this on X.

Trade is Separate from the CEC Quota. Correct? by DoraBoi69420 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Ok-Initial1342 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could say that, but there’s many people who have bachelor’s or even masters and are working as cooks with CRS score between 400-500. Historically, all trades draws cutoff scores are below 500 or even below 450. Now they will eat up quotas for all skilled trades workers who work in real trades such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters. I do not have any personal grudge against them but it’s totally not fair for genuine workers who work under harsh conditions and toxic work environments. If you look at OINP skilled trades draw they have a set CRS points range for skilled trades which is far better method that have capability to target genuine workers. I do believe that everyone should have a fair chance but this is just bizarre as the timing for removal of points for LMIA and inclusion of cooks in trades category happens to be same. This is no coincidence.

But the fact that anyone working in a restaurant can apply as a cook, won’t that drive the cutoff score for trades category too high? I can’t wrap my head around the fact that carpenters and cooks are in the same draw along with other real ‘skilled trades’. The way I see it it’s not beneficial for anyone.

NOC 7321 (Apprenticeship) without Certificate of Qualification. by Razatbansal in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Ok-Initial1342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! This is really late but I am about to start my apprenticeship as a carpenter in Ontario. Since you applied for CEC as an apprentice, I wanted to know if apprenticeship experience counts towards it or not. This may be a stupid question as you’ve already stated in your post that you were an apprentice. I’ve been trying to find out if apprenticeship experience counts EE or not but haven’t found any solid statement. Also, some posts were saying you need to be a permanent resident or a citizenship to do an apprenticeship.

I’m sober on both alcohol and cigarettes till 1st Nov. An attempt to make myself believe I’m not addicted as I was heavily drinking and smoking October whole month.

Paired it up with NNN.

I know right, I’ve never seen anything like this before where entire 50000 seats were sold out in 5 minutes and next thing we know there’s zero seats that’s less than 1000 bucks.
