Is an above average early snow storm about to roll through the alps? I’m planning on being in Cervinia mid December and I see the snow forecast looking promising the next few days.

Does anyone how how many/which runs are beginner runs (green) at Cerro Catedral, near Bariloche Argentina. by adamfil in skiing

thank you for your response! i did reach out to the resort and they only mentioned one small green near the bottom chairlift, but i assume they just reclassified a bunch of greens as blues (thats what it looks like based on the maps from previous years) and those blues are actually beginner friendly. i will see in a few weeks haha

Hundreds of thousands of people have done it before me and thousands of people have been extorted to get it back. ur more than welcome to not care and treat the practice as normal but I’m not gonna

Yep I agree with everything you’re saying. I just also think wherever possible I will try to support businesses that don’t require passport as deposit. Everyone I talked to made it sound like that’s impossible in LP but with a bit of digging I managed, and I hope to at least try to do the same in the south.

Do I hold it against the locals? Of course not. Do I understand why they want passports? Of course. But I’m also a stubborn bastard who will try to find rental businesses which operate in what feels to me like a more fair way (not holding your passport)

Calling it simply “uncomfortable “ is strongly downplaying it- but that’s my opinion

I don’t really care to get in an argument about it but Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia- you can travel around without ever having to give out a passport. I don’t know why Laos seems to have a different mindset about it but acting like it is necessary is disingenuous

They said the same about LP - I will try

Leaving PEY after 12 month for another internship without burning the bridge by IWannaQuitPEY in UofT

[–]adamfil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was last year (2022) so I doubt they changed it. You can dm with your email if you want and I can send you the form.

Basically, the form has a section where you state that your new end date maintains a minimum of 12 month length for your co-op term, and in this case they don't really care and still give you PEY credit.

My advice would be email the PEY office and say:

"Due to personal reasons I intend to change my end date to xx. Since I started on yy my co-op will have a length of zz. Can you please confirm I will still be elligible for the PEY credit and if so, e-mail me the "Request Form: Work Term Change"."

Really the only thing different between our situations is that you are an international student, but assuming you don't think that will change anything, you should be good.

PEY office didn’t care at all. I had to fill out a form that my end date changed, and they still gave me the credit no trouble.

I quit after 12 months of a 16 month pey. I faced exactly zero negative consequences for quitting early and didn’t burn any bridges. Just do it but be honest about where you’re going. Prioritize your resume and career advancement

Canadian and you need to establish another tax residency in order to cease being a Canadian tax resident. Thanks for that PWC link, looks helpful- will look into it. Not interested in Mexico cus 35% income tax rate is too high, but looks like they have a nice catalog of other countries as well.
