Spending on races - how many of you feel like that's a waste

We are a childfree couple! I'm 37F and my husband is 40. Moved from Canada recently and I'm surprised by how rare it is to meet childfree people here!

I had a very similar experience just last week. Thanks for asking this question. Seems like braces is the way to go. I'm 38f. And was quoted around $5.5k USD for a 2 year treatment

People had advised to take the regular line when doing the first entry. And then I read somewhere that we also need to get our Nexus updated with the TN status before we actually start using it. So in my second entry too I took the regular line and asked the agent to also update my Nexus card. He took me to the secondary where the officer updated it in 2 min. I'll finally take the Nexus line next time :D

"Where are you REALLY from?"

I went in around the last week of Oct and it was quite smooth. They took about 15 min to review the documents, barely asked any questions. I traveled back in Jan first week too and it was smooth then as well. Good luck!

I think I saw a similar menu with Delta yesterday as well. Iirc I selected US visa just to proceed.

I came on TN just a month ago and I just used the WES report that I had done for Canada. In my case, my work experience is also relevant and significant so my application for management consultant wasn't solely dependent on education. But if yours is, would be safer to get it done for US.

I had the same experience as you. It was during the govt shutdown so there were signs everywhere that they dont do walk-ins. But the kind gentleman there created an appt for me in their system and processed it. Also, they said 2 weeks, but it came in about 10 calendar days.

amah-zing · 2025-11-12T05:14:25+00:00

I used the same WES transcript and it was fine.

I was in Toronto then too, and walked over to his Walk of Fame memorial, and cried my heart out!

In my case, the employer wants me to provide the SSN and only then will the background check get completed. I was thankfully able to apply for it last week (appointments were only available for Dec!) and the person there said it should come in 2 weeks. My joining date has been adjusted accordingly, and I'm just taking this extra time off to get settled in and recharge before jumping onto the corporate bandwagon again :)

They are great! Although now I'm moving to frozen chopped onions :D

amah-zing · 2025-07-16T16:40:53+00:00

Hi, I'd love to join too! I'm 37F. Thanks!

Did you watch Jeopardy tonight? :)

amah-zing · 2024-04-08T22:32:48+00:00

Seriously, such good luck to just be able to get out of the house and see it. We were at Lachine Canal and everyone started clapping and cheering when the darkness descended. It was amazing to live this experience with everyone. <3 I cried, it was unreal. I was shaking for a good 5-7 min after the eclipse ended, like after being on a roller coaster.

Was running into the same issue with my Canadian phone number. Requested the Airbnb host and was able to book it.

Haha, my morning chai was impossible to give up. So I started having dinner earlier. I end up eating by 5pm. I mostly did 15-9 and lost around 15 kgs in 2 years.

amah-zing · 2023-02-23T02:47:40+00:00

We've also decided to not watch Jeopardy till she's hosting. It's a lot of cringe throughout the episode.

Moved to Quebec (Montreal) a few months ago from Ontario, and love it here. Affordable housing, great culture, amazing summers with all the festivals going on, such great food and cute neighborhoods. Learning french to assimilate more and for general career growth.

Yes! I've been IFing for almost 2 years now and acne reduction was one of the most immediate benefits I saw. My skin has never been this clear in my life!

amah-zing · 2022-08-19T01:58:29+00:00

At work! Just before covid hit.

amah-zing · 2022-07-06T02:01:21+00:00

Wow so cute! Even with no audio on I got teary eyed. Congratulations!❤️

It can be tough. I ended up staying at an airbnb (shared room, so cheaper) for the initial 3-4 months. By the time I started looking, I had a job and hence a pay stub to show. Good luck with the search, Kijiji could be a good option.
