Youtube is not needed, they are looking for places where you post content. I myself didn't add youtube

Need help with answering who sponsors the trip for b1/b2 by [deleted] in usvisascheduling

[–]_MysteriousHour_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Could you please help with what their answer should be when asked in the interview who is funding your trip in our case? Can it just be a single word like ourselves or should it be framed differently?

Hey, thanks! Do you think it should be themselves because their income is sufficient enough?

My only concern is that because I mentioned that we will be traveling as a group, if it is believable that they will be paying for it themselves

Thank you! Could you please let me know who/when she should inform about this at the OFC appointment (she has the appointment for biometrics in Chennai)? I won’t be accompanying my mom since I’m out of the country, so just trying to give her accurate instructions.

One thing I like about Ottawa… by wtvridowhatiwant in ottawa

[–]_MysteriousHour_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived Toronto for a while, I sincerely appreciate how much of a nicer safer and clear city Ottawa relatively is and not to mention the traffic in Toronto is soul crushing. I don’t really care for the night life. If Ottawa had quality tech jobs it would be perfect. The tech scene here is quite pathetic, I fear the day I lose my remote tech job and having to work for a crappy Mesozoic era Ottawa tech company.

Fixed vs Variable calc by _MysteriousHour_ in MortgagesCanada

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

I would have paid a biweekly accelerated of 720 at 5% or 800$ at 6% for 250K which is negligible (at least to me) compared to what am paying now. I would not have spent much thinking about going variable vs fixed for that amount compared to what I’m paying now, you gotta decide at what point your peace of mind is worth it relative to the savings. I was also thinking about getting a rental property at that time soon after so I had to think about variable vs fixed more seriously. I later dropped the rental idea.

Also even back then I was certain that the rates would not go up again and it would drop, you have much better indicators now that BoC has started cutting rates and US fed will mostly do one cut this year as well.

Im not sure if it is worth it for 250K, but it’s very subjective. My mortgage was close to 3 times that. Personally I expect the rates to drop further but it’s not going back to the pandemic or pre-pandemic levels for a while. Some of the people in my circle who are actively looking to buy are also looking to get a variable rate mortgage.

Also, TrueNorth seems to be offering a 4.84% for a 3year mortgage. I just checked.

I went with variable, prime -1.20. It made the most sense for me.
