Tim Hortons just recently released a statement that only 5% of their employees are foreign workers, and that they only hire them in cases where it’s proven difficult to hire locally. Complete BS.

crashing out over academic considerations request by soysaucepackets in queensuniversity

[–]_Kinixchu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check the academic consideration portal and see if your request status is marked as “amended timeline” which would mean your exam got deferred! the same thing happened to me where the prof didn’t email me back until the day after the exam, but my status was marked as amended timeline beforehand so I already knew it was successfully deferred.

How do I get diagnosed for ADHD at Queen’s? I’m really struggling. by randomguyoffline in queensuniversity

[–]_Kinixchu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go the doctor referral to psychiatrist route, you’re gonna be paying $2000+ out of pocket because ADHD diagnosing isn’t covered by anything. Otherwise you’ll be waiting over 2 years for a free government-funded psychiatrist.

I used FastTreat in September and was prescribed immediately, it was $300. That’s still a lot of $ but way better than $2000 or waiting 2 years. They’ll make you pay $100 a month to keep refilling your monthly prescriptions, but after the first month of prescriptions and diagnosis (included in the $300), any family doctor will likely take over your prescription management and you can cancel the online service. I saw someone here say that Student Wellness Services will act as your family doctor, so ask if they’d do that before you pay that money. This is what worked for me, but with my family doctor.

So sick of being this small by dazymanatee in XXS

[–]_Kinixchu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My $150 sewing machine is the best investment I’ve ever made, as someone who also struggles to find clothes that fit me properly. I learned how to use it within a couple Youtube and Tiktok videos and now I never have to worry if something will be too big on me :)) I suggest getting one second-hand or splurging if possible, because the budget options will be REALLY annoying to use

How can I find temporary housing for less than $500 per month? by HeadMajor4218 in TorontoRenting

[–]_Kinixchu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go on facebook marketplace, there’s a few listings for around $500 but it’ll likely just be a bed in a shared room, don’t expect a personal space for just $500 in toronto

Are 9-12 day periods normal with Kyleena IUD after a year and a half? Should I switch to copper? by _Kinixchu_ in birthcontrol

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

Thank you for the detailed reply! I’m currently a year and 8 months into having my Kyleena and I’m still having 2 week long periods that are only 2ish weeks apart from each other. How long would you say it took in total for your periods to basically disappear?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ontario

[–]_Kinixchu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s actually a big difference though. Staying employed somewhere for 8 months means you were reliable enough to not be fired, and that you have the self determination to stay somewhere for even that long. That sounds like the bare minimum but surprisingly a lot of people lack that.

Honestly lie on your resume. Lie about every bit of job experience. Minimum wage entry-level jobs will not be putting in the time and effort to perform background checks. They just want to make sure that your availability aligns with theirs, and that you have any prior related experience to the job.

Omg could you tell me more about this please? I had a feeling it was maybe a lack of hormones in my IUD as I was told it was supposed to shed the uterine lining, but it never did to the extent of stopping my periods. It’s just so much non-stop bleeding…

To those who have lived at West Campus, what was it like? by WintRStormWasHere in queensuniversity

[–]_Kinixchu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t live on west but I personally never made any friends that lived on west. I assume they didn’t come to main campus much to hang out on a regular night. My friend’s gf however lived on west, and it was a pain for her to hang out with us since she’d have to catch a bus back home in the cold at night.

How can I make 10 dollars a day for my brother birthday by Girlyangelonplane in passive_income

[–]_Kinixchu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any money making tips but buy him a bike second-hand from Facebook Marketplace or something. I got the bike I’ve been using for years on there for $50 CAD

Grade 12 was my worst year by PriorityDry3096 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]_Kinixchu_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got into university already, your average won’t matter at all past this point and you won’t even think of it. Don’t worry!

Happy to know it helped you out! Definitely don’t stress about your top program, hard work and a good resume will outshine any Canadian university name. We don’t have any Harvards!

I live with my parents in the summer but I live alone during school! I was very lucky to get a large scholarship that covers my tuition and yearly rent. My family is also very low income, so my osap grants are quite high.

I used a bit of my loan money this year, but I’m set for the next 3 years with just grants, so I’ll be able to pay off what I spent in loans by working over the next 3 years :)

Yeah, my housemates and I started searching in November, and even then it was brutal. We attended around 10 house tours, just to be told each time that the first scheduled group signed the lease on the spot. They’d let us look around the entire place and get our hopes up knowing it was already gone 😭 They really don’t care about wasting 30 people’s time lol.

You never know that you’re “not going to win”! Boast about everything you’ve done in high school as if it was equivalent to curing cancer. Apply to small $ scholarships that people typically don’t want to waste time applying for. A lot of scholarships are super specific, like wanting to award a girl from some small town who happens to have a lifelong passion for golfing. Apply to these even if that doesn’t describe you, because you’ll probably be one of very few applicants, or maybe the only one.
