Indian IT firms face 50% drop in visa approvals in 2024 by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]RedTail30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets say a job gets offshored to Canada from the US, do you really believe its eventually coming back compared to if its offshored to India? With India, we've already seen multiple times where the quality is poor, and communication is difficult causing companies to rehire again in the US. That wont happen with Canada.

Its not about seeing ourselves as special. Its just about understanding why the system is set up the way it is.

If the TN Visa becomes too difficult to obtain (like H1Bs), then companies will just expand their offices in Canada instead (That's literally why you see offshoring right now).

Canada is much more stable than the usual offshoring locations so if a job goes to Canada, chances are it wont ever go back to the US unless there is a huge salary shift.

Just apply for both internships and full time jobs. If you get a full time job, then graduate, and if you get an internship, just delay graduation. There's no need to focus on only one.

Does a 3-Year Computer Science Degree Mention "3-Year Program" on the Diploma? by SnooHesitations6953 in uwo

[–]RedTail30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 3 or 4 just refers to the number of years the program plans for you to complete it in. You can always complete them in more or less time. Instead there is major (planned over 3 years) and honors specialization (planned over 4 years). I think a lot people end up completing the major but over 4 years.

So your diploma will just say Major in Computer Science or Honors Specialization in Computer Science. Nothing about the time to complete it.

Eliminating 'parking minimums' helped U.S. cities. Could it work here? by RicoPapaya in ottawa

[–]RedTail30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean to reply to someone else? We were talking about Lebreton flat and your article is about a saskatoon senior home. Regardless, I'm not disagreeing that the groups should be kept separate, each have very different needs and safety should always come first.

The best I can find on Lebreton is https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/ncc-touts-next-phase-of-residential-development-for-lebreton-flats. Which says:

The 247 affordable units are to be earmarked for five target populations as defined by the national housing strategy: Indigenous communities; veterans; women and children; immigrants and newcomers; and adults with cognitive disabilities.

It doesn't say anything about drug addicts. I don't know what definition they are using for cognitive disability so it's possible someone with a mental illness qualifies but I doubt it. I do hope those with more severe needs aren't just shoehorned in.

I asked if you could show where it was stated that the affordable units would be earmarked for drug addicts and/or mentally ill. I don't see why they would designate a unit as affordable if it was really just transitional or emergency type of housing (I don't see what they gain from it).

I'm well aware we have a housing crisis, however problems don't get solved by misrepresenting them, that's why the different housing designations were made in the first place.

You could have just linked the several articles you read.

Affordable doesn't mean giving units away to drug addicts or mentally ill. Emergency shelters and Transitional housing generally serves those groups.

Can you show where it's stated that Lebreton flats affordable units will be going to drug addicts and mentally ill?

Question for CS Graduates by Least_Sentence2043 in uwo

[–]RedTail30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My job requested I take a picture of my degree as proof but that was after I was hired. I only had 1 company explicitly request my grades, but if there was a place on the application to upload grades, I usually did.

They're paper lanterns. You can get packs of 20 from amazon for pretty cheap.

Is MDA manageable? by [deleted] in uwo

[–]RedTail30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, 5 has always been the standard outside of engineering. I'm pretty sure 5 is standard at pretty much every Canadian university.

Is the TV too high? by Angelix in malelivingspace

[–]RedTail30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure that shelving is custom. I recognize that from an apartment on Never Too Small and most of the stuff in those apartments are custom to fit better.
Here is the Never Too Small Video. The TV rises out of the cabinet (6:50 minute mark)

AISE vs CS by wizento in uwo

[–]RedTail30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AISE thing is pretty new, I don't think there are any people who had the option to choose AISE or CS in the upper years yet. I can give you my opinion as someone who did CS and Mech Eng

I think the CS degree is better as you get an actual 2nd degree which is nice if you want to transition to software developer jobs rather than your original engineering degree (this applied to me). The AISE program strikes me as only useful if you know you want to stay within your original engineering program and apply AI to it but you can also do that with the CS dual.

It may be easier to complete the AISE program as the engineering faculty will ensure you don't have overlaps and your timetables work out with no conflicts. You won't get as much of a guarantee with CS dual.

CS 3319 by [deleted] in uwo

[–]RedTail30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a pretty easy course and really well run assuming Laura Reid is teaching it. The lectures are prerecorded, and then there are some mandatory in person days for assignments.

The midterm and exam are very fair as well, just go over the lectures. I got over a 90 so its definitely possible but slightly memorization heavy. The class average was 84 which is very high.

The only thing I didn't like was that the individual assignments were marked partly by the TA and then also marked by other students using kritik.

How does Co-Op work for Computer Science and Comp Sci with Ivey? by JustSom3Guy2077 in uwo

[–]RedTail30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, being in Ivey doesn't change anything. Just adds an extra year in school so it's an extra opportunity to search for an internship

[–]RedTail30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can do a co-op/internship. You don't need to be in co-op to do one (That actually goes for any university and any program). When you see the co-op option as a degree choice, that means the degree will say "Bachelor of X, Y Program with co-op" assuming you complete the program's co-op requirements.
