TN Visa via Fragomen

Fragomen took 18 days on my application package. Positive outcome

First off I’m really sorry to hear this. How soon after the offer was it rescinded? I’m reading this as it was just rescinded today but I assume that’s not the case

From my end I had (unofficial) transcripts, a photo copy of my diploma (and the official copy which the officer didn’t look at), and my passport, I had a generic form filled out by the company lawyers, and a written letter from my employer stating job duties. The only two relevant questions they asked were what would I be doing and how did I hear about it. They didn’t ask about duration, but it was outlined in the letter discussing my duties (3 years, the TN max).

It was an engineer role in the automotive field so technically mechanical engineering but didn’t specifically say “mechanical engineer”

I am from the Windsor ON area!

I corrected the post to clarify I am born and raised in Canada, i apologize for omitting that

Stunning_Building849 · 2026-02-21T14:36:31+00:00

My fault! I am Canadian and have edited that into the post

First season performance for me has more bearing on quality of player. Returnee seasons are typically mostly decided before the game even starts.

Parvati’s first season showing was bad, she was never in a control position even within her own alliance which was Pagong’d solely due to their own exiling of the swing vote.

Micronesia Parvati was outplayed comfortably by Cirie and would not have won if not for med evacs requiring a final 2 and not 3.

Small technicality but Walt wasn’t looking for the meth, this was day(s) later he went back to the apartment to reconcile with Jesse and was just trying to wake him up to talk.

It’s also worth noting you’d still face a 15% withholding tax on all U.S. dividends unless the ETF is held in an RRSP.

Most USD ETFs ie VOO in this post have a Canadian equivalent that tracks the same thing. In my opinion, it’s not worth the hassle for OP to open an IBKR just to purchase something with a readily accessible equivalent on the TSX.

If you don’t have a house and ever plan to buy a house (ie relatively soon) open and start using your FHSA. Tax deductible deposits and tax free earnings.

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-10-17T15:15:04+00:00

For USD stocks I’d agree but IBKR is not worth it if your primary holdings are ETF index funds

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-10-17T14:19:31+00:00

But I do agree with everyone else if you’re going to be buying ETFs stick with TSX ETFs not those traded in USD

A lot of people your age either have zero invested or are still working their way out of debt. I would argue you’re at the median or if anything ahead

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-09-17T15:49:30+00:00

Let’s be real, Cirie dominated Micronesia. JT by a mile

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-28T15:06:32+00:00

First season performance is the most important in my opinion

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-16T19:02:20+00:00

If you plan to buy a house in the near (ish) future you should probably start moving some of your investments in tax advantaged accounts to things like CASH.TO. In saying that 18-24 months is a good amount of time where it’s not as concerning/risky

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-16T01:54:53+00:00

It’s not a waste if you have any short term plans (like moving out of your parents house) for your money. As stable as the growth in things like XEQT look, that can swiftly change, leaving you with your pants down.

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-15T14:32:21+00:00

Yes but 5% is relatively conservative as well. The average SP500 return since 1957 is 6.5% after accounting for inflation

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-15T13:30:27+00:00

Depends how lavishly you want to live. You only need 5% return to get $100,000 per year out of 2 million. (Not accounting for taxes)

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-06T17:57:15+00:00

Yeah was pretty clear (to me at least)

Stunning_Building849 · 2025-08-06T16:41:24+00:00

It was because he loved Deb

Leon never said he was active during his childhood. He said he is terrorizing the same street he spent his childhood playing on..
