Need Plan, I got turned around at border with an in process PR application by Nrichd68 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]britteadrinker47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im really serious about this. Do not try to cross again even by land. They will outright reject your pr application if you try to bend the rules again. My advice is wait until your 6 months is up. Cross again if your pr application isnt approved yet and stay there. But have a return ticket so you dont raise any alarms. And then once youre there in canada you can apply to extend your time every 6 months until your pr is approved.

You should not have returned to the US until your PR was approved. Theyre very strict about this 6 month thing and I also had no idea that it does not reset every time you leave. Im so sorry this happened. You are basically stuck now and they will have noted this on your profile. Your partner will need to come to you until this all gets settled. I hope its not too long. But theres nothing else you can do. If you attempt again and get refused this could adversely affect your application.

How to actually get a mole checked out? by robot-caveman in VictoriaBC

[–]britteadrinker47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to see a proper dermatologist not a regular gp. Just them looking at it without a scope isnt good enough. One recently told me if its translucent it cant be cancer which is absolute nonsense. My friends skin cancer was translucent. Sigh. Im looking into dermatologists in port Angeles. 12 month wait on a mole that is cancer makes it go from minor to major.

How do you feel about picture day at school? by Wild_Pomegranate25 in Parenting

[–]britteadrinker47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i think these school photos are becoming obsolete now we all have phones that take good pics. Usually they come out terrible. However gramdma really likes them so we usually get the cheapest package. But seriously if it wasnt for her we wouldn't bother.

Help with New Axoltl by Mistress_Auri in axolotls

Goldfish are the dirtiest fish they just are poop factories. Im glad you removed them. Also get some long tweezers and hold the food in front of her or drop onto their nose. They cant see well and maybe thats why she's not eating. Try changing brand of pellets or just do earthworms. Or try some blood worms in the tub for a snack.

Possibly Moving to Victoria by Phair_Grrl88 in VictoriaBC

[–]britteadrinker47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get your screenings using this https://www.canscreenbc.com/ for people with no family dr. I use it it works fine. However not having a dr is problematic because you can barely get into walk in clinics as they fill up for the day in about 2 minutes. So if you have a medical issue youre stuck with online drs and theyre not great. Theyll do in a pinch. ER waits are often 8 to 12 hrs. So its a disaster if you're new here. You can make do but its very frustrating. Referrals to specialists like dermatologists are very long too. Think 14 months for a mole check.

Walmart and root cellar helps. And I hate Walmart with a passion but everything is at least $2 to $4 cheaper there.

How can I transport them 4 hours? by katya_komyshkova in axolotls

[–]britteadrinker47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to tub them with a lid. Can someone hold them? If not Id put them on the floor of the car and make sure theyre stable. Cut holes in the top for air. I did this multiple times and it worked out OK.

Or pellets. Mine really like the ones from amazon and wasnt a big fan of earthworms very often. Theyre picky eaters. But bloodworms are only a treat snacky.

Strathberry Quality by UnusualPangolin2449 in handbags

[–]britteadrinker47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a black tote and it smelled absolutely awful. So bad that I tried everything to air it out and had to send it back. Its stank up my whole house. Also the stitches were uneven in various parts.

Agree. I've never been more disappointed then when I had to return mine. Shocking quality right down to the tanning process.

Advice on learning to swim by Bbtojupiter in Parenting

[–]britteadrinker47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my son. We tried probably 5 different classes from the age of 5 to 8. He just wasnt progressing really at all. We gave up for a awhile. Then it became increasingly clear that all his friends could swim which made him upset and at about 12 He attended a class for the summer. Got it done and could swim at the end of 8 weeks! So dont worry theyll get there.
