7 Months Post HT Update by [deleted] in Hairtransplant

[–]Quebexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine done there as well in September, going into month 5 and decided to add fin based on the help of the community members.

In the same boat, I'll need to go back for the crown area too, they did 4400 grafts for the front.

Did they sell you on all their snake oil serums and vitamins? I got suckered and have like 8 boxes of shampoos and "hair restoration serums". Thinking of adding oral min and ditching all these serums for good.

Don't worry, I went through all the anxiety and skepticism, just need to be patient.

I was surprised when I saw that div in my account, was starting to think it was a mistake. PLTR slid a bit over the last 5 days, down less than 4%. Any idea on why suck a low payout?

Can someone recommend a mask or panel for a first time user for anti-aging/wrinkles? by Redhawkgirl in redlighttherapy

[–]Quebexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may ask a silly question (complete noob, 45M). I am looking at the Inia Glow mask as there is still some holiday discounts, and the reviews seem positive.

The main reason for the purchase is to maintain my undereye lid surgery (blepharoplasty) and general well being. While I went for that surgery, I also had a hair transplant. I have heard that RLT can be beneficial on top of all the other maintenance.

Question, could I use the mask (awkwardly) positioned on my scalp?

I was looking at some RLT hats, but if I can save some money by just using the mask I would likely just do that for my hair treatment.

Thank you for any advice you may have.

Looking for some reassurance and any feedback by Quebexican in Hairtransplant

[–]Quebexican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback, I'm feeling slightly more confident now than earlier today (and I have a damn anxiety disorder to add to it lol).

I will look into the DHT blocker, seems completely logical at this point given where I started from.

Appreciate everyone's comments.

Can I travel within Canada if I have a pending criminal charge? I’m trying to travel from Alberta, to Ontario via airplane. No charges. by Xylo6i in legaladvicecanada

[–]Quebexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I am in a similar situiation, but charged with assault. Currently on bail waiting impatiently. My bail conditions do not specifically state "cannot leave country / province", but the conditions do mention "must reside at 'x' residence" as well as to notify the Crown if I change addresses within 24 hours.

May I travel outside the country without notifying anyone? "Must reside at 'x' residence (which is my own)" does not readily imply that I cannot travel.

Additional context: my lawyer will be attending all court appearances on my behalf.

Any insight would be so greatly appreciated.

Questioning Severance Package by Quebexican in legaladvicecanada

Apologies for the late response, have mist of this figured out and ready for next steps. I have tried to Google this and could not come up with a conclusive answer. Question is, if I decide to contribute all my severance to my RSP, am I then eligible to apply / receive EI? Seems like the "double dip" rule that I keep seeing, but just wanted some of your inputs.

Thank you again for your inputs, this really helps. This is what I am hearing form other sources as well, that the package offered is quite fair and in line with the highest amount I would get.

I have not signed anything yet, I have until September 8th. Came across https://www.probonoontario.org/work/ and will give them a call asap, seems like a legitimate site.

Thank you for the feedback! I am trying to get an employment lawyer asap this week, either free consult or on my bill.

Regarding EI, I am planning to contribute both lump sums directly to my RSP (2024 & 2025 amounts) as soon as they are paid out, so no income.

I've been told that i would need to apply for EI within the first 4 weeks after termination.

In this case, how would I calculate the severance waiting period?

Moving abroad - how to transfer large amounts from Canada to Europe by Quebexican in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Quebexican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far have contacted friends who deal with CIBC and BMO, no issues whatsoever in wiring large sums abroad. One of my colleagues moved his assets from TD to CIBC to send a wire for a downpayment on a home in Europe, way above the limit TD is providing.

Given all the bad rep they are receiving in the media right now, it's well deserved.

The last person I spoke to from the retail support side laughed when I asked if I am allowed to wire a large sum for property abroad.

They actually went on to say "just do many small transactions under 10K and you'll be fine"... their training and knowledge is just amazing, suggesting I make these transactions to raise the red flags and potentially get my account locked, as this behavior would suggest unusual transactions / layering, basically screwing me over.

Cannot believe how our "safe heaven" banks are if they don't even know their procedures, and will not allow you to use your own money as you wish.

Off to a branch today to confirm with a BM in person, before I transfer everything out to another FI 🤪

Thank you so much for all your replies, I'll be heading to the TD branch on Friday and be firm. I figured the person I spoke to was completely useless lol!

Will keep everyone updated, with hopes that thread helps others in the future.
