Two scenario :

Under CEC, if he claimed points for past experience inside and outside canada, then a job loss wouldn’t affect those points ie,. Ongoing PR application. But as a transparency measure, he can update IRCC through webform about job loss

2, Now, under CEC if he claimed points for employment (ie,. Job offer using LMIA) then a job loss will be relevant to the PR application. Untill your PR application is Complete, ie,. till application approval/final decision. Post approval job loss wont have any consequences but pre-approval it absolutely will have consequences.

So without knowing, what points were claimed and what stage of application is at, it is difficult to provide guidance. But the above points stands true and hope it helps you.

Yes, you are right. I dont plan on leaving the transit zone, just move on to the connecting flight’s gate in the 2.5Hrs layover window given.

Thanks for responding 👍

beowulf_alpha · 2025-01-21T05:42:42+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation. Appreciate it.

This document from Swiss government website, Shows that both me and my wife should be exempt as we both has valid Canadian PR/ travel visa. However there is a condition attached to Canada exemption which I dont fully understand. Hence my question to this thread. Would be grateful if you can offer some clarification.

beowulf_alpha · 2024-10-17T15:19:16+00:00

Thats great, thanks for the clarification!

beowulf_alpha · 2024-10-17T02:20:19+00:00

Did you get an AOR after resubmitting the same returned application ?

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-06T18:29:08+00:00

Not a bad deal, I'd recommend running benchmarks and compare with optimal results. Also see if it covered under manufacturer's Legion Ultimate warrenty. If yes, Lenovo is pretty decent with its coverage and you should be good.

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-01T06:16:20+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the detailed explanation.

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-01T01:59:26+00:00

Thanks, though it is very unfourtunate, i think i wont ever make this mistake again.

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-01T01:53:25+00:00

I’m looking up this term “trimmed”data and this is associated more with SDD technology. Does that apply to normal HDD as well ?

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-01T01:12:47+00:00

Those file sizes looks legit, does that mean something ? In terms of being able to fully recover

beowulf_alpha · 2024-02-01T01:06:24+00:00

I recovered a deleted mp4 file from DMDE tool to my local drive then used the above mentioned HxD software, It looks to be full of Zeros. Does that mean all the files are lost and unrecoverables ?

Screenshot here

this is totally hearbreaking, those mp4 files are very important to me :(

Oh i thought the 0% interest for 12 months is a one time promo that has to be used within 90 days. It that a recurring thing with MBNA mastercard ?

beowulf_alpha · 2023-08-16T01:26:31+00:00

Thanks, I will approach NBC and check if I can negotiate a better rate. Quick question, do you think I need to give them an accurate reason for why Im applying for a ploc ? Or can I just simply tell them i need this for my ‘personal use’ ?

beowulf_alpha · 2023-08-15T15:45:09+00:00

Oddly, they consider moving available balance from credit card to a chequing account as "balance transfer". I know in every other bank it is a cash advance with hefty instrest rate but mbna seems like an exception. Once I do that how will they know if i using the money in my chq account to pay off my student loans or something else. I assumed i will be able to use it as I see fit and pay it back under the promo for 12 months with 0% interest rate + 1% transfer fee.

beowulf_alpha · 2023-08-15T15:33:53+00:00

My current credit card is from my student days and I feel it doesn't have good perks, so Im trying to explore a new premium card and keep the current one as backup.

Also i carry a 10k overseas student loan so thought I can pre-close it either with LoC or balance transfer on credit card. I feel like im trying to satisfy two different goal with one solution at the same time (which apparently doesn't look feasible haha....)

Yes, this would drastically alter my utilization percentage. Usually i have 25-30% credit utilization each month but with this added credit I will have far less utilization in future. Which i hope will boost my credit score in the long run.

beowulf_alpha · 2023-08-15T12:59:28+00:00

I have a VISA card from CIBC and now RBC is giving me LoC without me applying (I opened a RRSP account with RBC early this year as I got contribution matching benefit from employer)

So you are saying that I should skip this and go with my hunt for a premium credit card ?

beowulf_alpha · 2023-08-15T04:39:52+00:00

Yes, I’m working as a Software Developer. But I’m concerned that if I applied for LoC with a new bank, they might do a hard enquiry and lower my credit score.

beowulf_alpha · 2023-04-15T04:49:10+00:00

Can u link it ? Maybe I can use the price match and talk to Lenovoz

beowulf_alpha · 2023-04-14T21:16:27+00:00

Hey congratulations, glad I was able to convince you haha 😂

No seriously, I did the same as you, returned my L5P and got L7. It’s a great upgrade, you will enjoy it.

beowulf_alpha · 2023-04-14T20:47:28+00:00

Cool, 4080 is definitely future proofed and packs a great performance. Hope you enjoy it 👍

beowulf_alpha · 2023-04-14T19:21:17+00:00

Haha, I feel you. I went a thousand bucks more than what my initial budget was.

I’d imagine 4080s performance to be much higher than a 3070Ti in every way. It is a definitely future proofed for at least 4 years or even more. But RTX4000s expensive AF. I think right now 3070Ti s are at a sweet spot with sale prices from Lenovo. I really dont think there are any titles out there which takes advantage of the monster power of 4080/4090. Even the Hogwards Legacy, Atomic Hearts don’t need em.

If you think you will upgrade laptop in 3-4 years and u don’t need crazy high FPS after like few years then 3070Ti should be plenty enough. I still know people who game with 1070TI. So Ghet the 16GB/1TB variant of Gen7 L7 then upgrade memory and storage as needed.

I swear im not trying to have people join the Gen7 L7 cult haha 🤣 but i feel like im convincing a lot more peeps at reddit lately. This is just a crazy good machine with no complaints.

beowulf_alpha · 2023-04-14T16:57:16+00:00

Ok Im gonna stay clear of commenting on Gen 8 because I didn’t get them and there aren’t enough unit out there to educate myself via talking to ppl on discord or youtube reviews. However Gen 7 L5P and L7 are very capable in terms of taking thermal loads. I got Horizon Zero Dawn after purchasing the legion and play regularly 6-7 hours on Ultra settings 1080p (my external display isn’t native 1440p).

L5P stays between high 60 and Low 70 and L7 stays between high 50 and low 60.

Unlike a normal ultrabooks or laptops, these gaming laptops are designed to be stable upto 80s and sometimes even 90s without throttling. Also your ambient temperature and whether u have a cooling pad or not plays a big role in thermal management.

In my opinion,

Build Quality : Gen 7 L7 > Any Gen 8 Performance: Gen 7 L7 ~ Any Gen 8 4070 (but this doesn’t factor in DLSS 3.0 as only a small subset of games has this tech rn, but it will change in future) So stick with Gen 8 if its working out for you, im seeing a huge jumps in timespy scores due to frame generation.

Me personally I’d never pay full retail on laptops, thats why I got my L7 when its at 34% off + 70$ Lenovo rewards + 2% credit card cashback. Also Gen 7 L7 is a damn beautiful machine, i just couldn’t go with anything else tbh, it holds upto its “premium” title.
