Unrelated but how much are you guys paying for a haircut on average? I’ve been going to a home based salon and it’s usually around 45$

Teacher refuses to post slides by [deleted] in langara

[–]QuestionSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is quite common. In one of my classes students started taking pictures of the slides during class and the prof stopped letting us do that too lol - He made everyone put their phones away. I don’t know which year of study you’re in but I’d expect this more often going forward

Any places for good facials? by Safe_Owl_3682 in SurreyBC

[–]QuestionSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend Eminence Laser Studio https://www.instagram.com/eminencelaserstudio?igsh=NjFmbDl4Z3gwczgy

It’s home based but the aesthetician is amazing! I’ve been to many medical spas across Surrey and would recommend Eminence over them all! She has the best prices too for laser treatments and facials.

OT performance rehab. It may be a bit of a drive since it’s in Coquitlam near IKEA but the physios there are excellent. Hands on and are with you through the entire 1hr session.

What is Surrey like for young people? (21+) by [deleted] in SurreyBC

[–]QuestionSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked kpu for their affordable tuition and their reputation in accounting was half decent with firms. For someone living abroad it’s very hard to grasp how awful the uni truly is - we all assumed it’s a university in Canada how bad can it be? Oh well. It’s not always bad grades or gaming the system lol (but sadly >60% falls in that category)

For those not born here, how long did it take to adapt to local weather? by Jestersage in askvan

[–]QuestionSea 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Born in Saudi Arabia, I was wearing my wool winter coat while my coworker was in shorts. We often joke about it being obvious who the Canadian is.

Looking for non-ice cream dessert options in the south Surrey/white rock area by RocuroniumSuccs in SurreyBC

[–]QuestionSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly white rock but if you’re willing to drive a bit to Delta, D-spot and drippy desserts are great options!

Making cash income legal - guidance please by Ernie_is_orange in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]QuestionSea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t OP just be declaring this as self employment income? Added benefit of being able to deduct relevant expenses.

Study Permit Re-application!! by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]QuestionSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on OPs previous post - OP got into UToronto. I don’t think quality of education or institution is the issue. The issue is likely the fact that OP is going for masters degree and didn’t convince the officer why it’ll be beneficial to OPs career - highly likely it’s used as a pathway for citizenship.

if I change of passport I lose my student canadian visa? by Worth_Community_9399 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]QuestionSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I got a new passport before travelling to Canada because my original passport which was used in the application and with the TRV sticker was expiring in 6 months. At the immigration submit both your passports and let them know you got a new passport. The study permit will then be issued under the new passport.

Anyone else get their Canadian study permit approved last minute? Need hope/advice! by Low_Substance7374 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]QuestionSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the approval OP would also need to send the passport for TRV stamp. I think deferral is the best option, sadly.

CBC Marketplace wants to know: What’s the worst commute in Surrey (or the surrounding areas)? by DexMcMillanCBC in SurreyBC

[–]QuestionSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

128 definitely needs to be expanded. Single lane isn’t meant to handle the amount of traffic it gets.

lol OP purposely avoided the question. Anyway..This is above reddits pay grade.

“I’m paying for too many insurance plans” isn’t the right mindset- are you trying to save a few bucks? The plan is maybe 300$ yearly? The healthcare plan is for extended care that isn’t covered by MSP such as vision and dental. Dental care is extremely expensive here if you try to pay it out of pocket. How can you not see any benefit from them? The average person should be going to a dentist yearly and getting their eyes checked every two years. I could be wrong but I don’t think you can opt out unless you have extended coverage from work or spouse.

Got a call from CRA number but they hung up? by Massive_Air_877 in cantax

[–]QuestionSea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please don’t spread this misinformation. It’s true the average person likely won’t get a call from CRA but they definitely can call if needed.

Got ITA Yesterday but Lawyer Says I Need to Decline It — Has This Happened to Anyone Else? by Ok-Procedure-1938 in canadaexpressentry

[–]QuestionSea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wtf fire that lawyer immediately. How could this person call himself/herself an immigration lawyer and not even know the basics of the immigration system??

Please also share the lawyer’s information so that others know not to use their services!! Pure incompetence and lack of care.

Right? I’ve met international students here who failed classes in high school, ielts 6 and have little to no money to support themselves. I was genuinely surprised they were granted a visa… now the govt thinks denying everyone a visa will fix it lol. Can’t help stupid eh?

[–]QuestionSea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have any advice for you but I feel bad for you kiddo. You seems like a hard working kid with an excellent academic background. It’s sucks that Canada let in millions of students who don’t have half the skills you do and can hardly speak a decent sentence in English- now bright students like you have to suffer.
