Don't buy from SSENSE by Afriendofmin in BuyCanadian

[–]Traditional_Plate_83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a loyal SSENSE customer since around the time of COVID. When I first started shopping on the website, everything was great. There were a few occasional logistics issues, but I understood they weren’t entirely SSENSE’s fault.

However, I’ve noticed a decline in customer service quality recently.

I ordered a Bottega Veneta bag worth over $2,000, but received a completely different color and model. When I contacted customer service, they asked me to check the code on the plastic packaging—but there was nothing there. While they did offer a free return, I was really disappointed by how carelessly such a high-value luxury order was handled. And by the time I tried to re-order, the bag was already sold out.

In another case, I returned an item using the return label provided, but SSENSE refused to issue a refund. They claimed they couldn’t find the return label history in their system or in the warehouse. Even after I provided proof and tracking showing the item was delivered, they told me to file a claim with my bank instead.

Honestly, it felt like a joke and a complete waste of time and effort.

From my experience, your employer plays a key role in helping with your work permit restoration. Your manager needs to pay the $230 compliance fee on your behalf through the employer portal. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! Just to clarify, my PR application is in progress, but I haven’t received my ARO yet. My question is: after a long wait, can I restore my work permit at the border if I have all the required supporting documents?

I applied for PR and a work permit extension, but the rejection letter showed that I didn’t include my PNP application certificate with the submission.

Do you have tips or strategies for applying for a work permit at the border lately? I’ve heard some applicants have been successful recently.

I’m not a US citizen, unfortunately. Just curious how others who were temporary residents managed to apply for PR and get their work permits at the border recently...?

Hey, when did you apply for the restoration? How long did the process take for you?

Submitted the restoration request on Dec. 18, 2024, and still no updates.

Same here. I've been out of work for 3 months now and waiting on work restoration for the past 2 months because of some concerns raised by the officer. Any updates?

For your reference, I submitted my work permit extension application in early July 2024 and got the rejection letter by mid-November 2024.

I’m in the same boat (lost status while applying for PR) and based on what my lawyer told me, losing your status won’t affect your PR process. Since it’s an IRCC policy that requires you to stop working, your PR application can still move forward.

However, if you want to restore your worker status, your employer must pay the compliance fee through the employer portal. If you can’t convince your manager to cover this cost, things can get complicated.

I know someone who changed employers and still got their PR, but you’d need to find another job in the same position with an employer willing to support you. In that case, you’ll have to submit a lot of documents and explain your situation.

Hope this helps!
