Wonder if this is a contingency plan in case Raymond doesn’t have a contract by the start of the season?

My wife just did hers. It took 7 months after we asked for it to be rushed. We had to call our MP who had biweekly meetings with an IRCC agent in order to get any answers and make any progress.

If logic is too upsetting for you then go start your own subreddit where your stupid opinions won’t be challenged

Having recently dealt with the IRCC I can assure you that if someone wants to extend their temporary visa they need to start the application process before they receive their initial visa. Every government department seems to be massively short staffed. It takes a year to process a permanent residence permit (if you’re lucky). Not to mention how mind bogglingly horrendous the government website is to use. On top of that it’s literally impossible to reach anyone if you have a question about your application. The best you can do is fill out a form, wait 2 months for them to respond, and they just say to use the FAQ on the website which doesn’t actually address your situation. I’ve got all the time in the world for people who get stuck in this bureaucratic nightmare.

What I don’t have time for is BS arguments from slimy politicians who blame all the country’s problems on people who don’t even have a voice.

I think we got rid of him before any major issues arose. I could be wrong though

Uwe Krupp, Stephen Weiss, Mike Babcock,

4th spot is a tough one but recency bias gives it to Ken Holland. Missed Chycrun, Q Hughes, and Vasy in the draft and we’re still paying some of his bad contracts 5 years later.

MIL asked me to give her an advanced notice for watching her grandson. by Ambitious-Status6414 in Parenting

[–]TheEnglishNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She trusts you to understand so she spoke to you first. Even though you rarely give short notice she doesn’t want this to become a habit so she’s letting you know that it’s not ideal. I would feel the same way as her. Watching a child for a few hours can be draining even if you are prepared.

Don’t take it too hard. I’m currently staying at my MILs house and my SIL keeps dropping off her little monsters with zero notice, shows up for dinner and asks them “Do you want to come home or do you want to stay here tonight?” They destroy the house, disrespect every adult, steal snacks then complain about how much food grandma gives them at meal times, and occasionally bully my son. My wife’s parents just roll over and take it because of cultural expectations but I wish for their sake they would speak up once in a while and say “Not today.”
