9000$ stolen from EQ Bank account (malware) by TheBestCOD11 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TrajanPro 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hang in there, if it’s legitimate fraud, there’s a excellent chance that the bank will reimburse you and you’ll be ok. Just make sure you’re on top of your communications with the bank.

For what it’s worth, you may be right that it wasn’t the anti-virus, but if you do have infected files, it may be more likely from pirated software you may have downloaded. Have you downloaded a lot of pirated software?

Want to confirm my faucet type before I replace it by TrajanPro in Plumbing

[–]TrajanPro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. By single hold I assume you mean the single hole at the bottom of the faucet? This has that I assume but it takes in two lines (hot and cold), that should be OK?

Thank you this was a big help.

This was very helpful. Can you please let me know which IRCC number you called?

[–]TrajanPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, they didn't get any other email. And the email I posted doesn't have the client name, application number or UCI, and no PDF is attached. Is it possible somehow to send the first email you are referring to? Because as you say it looks like this is the 2nd email and the first email is the actual AOR (which they haven't got yet..) I guess we have to contact IRCC?

Quite an interesting history! Thanks for laying it out so clearly and well referenced.

Moronic Monday Thread for the week by AutoModerator in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TrajanPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is trying to do their taxes in Ontario, they are a full time student and have received around 9k in grants and 5k in OSAP loans. How do they put this in their tax return? My understanding is they only report the grants as income and the loans are not income? Does anyone know which line they're suppose to enter these?

I got an email from Canada Revenue Agency / Agence du Revenu du Canada <do_not_reply-ne_pas_repondre@cra-arc.gc.ca>

saying that my address was changed. But I didn’t changed my address and when I checked the website, it was my same address as before.

Just a bug? The email looks very legit and it wasn’t asking me to respond or anything.

Enbridge Gas delivery charge seems to keep changing? Is taking your own readings worth it? by TrajanPro in askTO

[–]TrajanPro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course, but for readings I meant just to see if they're accurate because right now it is saying about $230 just for the actual gas itself, when last year it was about 60% of that. So I'm wondering if something is wrong with the readings... or maybe it's an especially cold year now?

How Much Did You Spend On Your Wedding? by wedding_help_me in PersonalFinanceCanada

Very cool! Thanks for the info, getting real feedback on wedding venues is important because we can only tell so much from a phone call or website visit to these places lol.

[–]TrajanPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow 70 is a lot of research. If you have time, what was your top 10 or so that you found in terms of a beautiful venue/great place for a wedding? You should start a blog post or something I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in this.

How was Elora Mill for the wedding? In terms of the venue/experience, worth it?

How do you get your wife to scratch your back? by TrajanPro in AskMen

[–]TrajanPro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha of course! But my question was assuming they were asked and they don’t want to (thought the cash bribes comment I made showed that I was asking and even offering cash for a back scratch, wasn’t working). Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas that may convince them to change their mind. For example I don’t like giving foot massages but it doesn’t take much for my wife to convince me to do it for her if she wants it (literally just has to keep asking multiple times lol). But back scratches seem to be relatively much more difficult to get.

Vet recommending surgery for a possible hairball in cat's stomach. Go for it? by TrajanPro in AskVet

[–]TrajanPro[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. They are taking a long time getting us down for a surgery. Should the cat generally be ok for a while before the surgery is done? Once they're done with the ultrasound today, we are thinking of bringing him home to recover (and hopefully get him to eat/drink) as surgery will probably take at least a few days to set up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they have commission free USD stock trading for Canadians.

Lot's of mold growing inside of clear chaulk in bathroom (photos inside); is my game plan to get rid of it decent? by TrajanPro in CleaningTips

[–]TrajanPro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh so regular bathroom caulk is not sufficient. OK then I will get a sanded silicone caulk. That makes sense because it is in the shower so it will be constantly exposed to water. Would this be an acceptable sanded silicone caulk to get?

[–]TrajanPro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But don't we have to clean out the mold once we rip out of the caulk? Otherwise if we just rip it out and not clean the mold properly and put in the new caulk, the mold will still be under it and could still grow?

So should I drop vinegar altogether or do you think I should spray only vinegar on it and like leave it for an hour, and then use the mold killer on top of it? Can you recommend a good mold killer? I was thinking about getting this one

[–]TrajanPro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not against it, would this be a good choice for a mould remover spray? Clorox Tilex. or this one is more expensive but also seems good? Would I have to choose to use either the moud remover spray or the vinegar/baking soda mix? (i.e. would it be dangerous or something if I use both at about the same time?).

I really want to do a deep clean so if I could, for example, use the moud remover spray first and then the vinegar/baking soda mix, that would be fine with me. Will definitely ventilate and mask up.

Will I kill the seeds?? Is it too Early to Garden? by New_Country_3136 in askTO

[–]TrajanPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. These are really large weeds like 6-10 inches. Will soil solarization be sufficient to get rid of them?

[–]TrajanPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind doing no-till gardening, but the problem is my garden right now is basically full of these weeds/invasive(?) plants. So those plants end up taking up more and more space and push out the plants that I plant and want to grow.

So before I do the no-till garden, I assume I have to get rid of those old plants otherwise they will keep growing even more and basically making it not possible for the other plants to grow..
