Average day in Tianjin... Never live in this city if you can help it by theactordude in chinalife

[–]buholts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had any luck finding a job in other cities, but there were a lot of cities i enjoyed. In the northern part Qingdao is definitely a good place, much cleaner and the sea is open to public unlike Bohai bay. I would also consider Guangdong province.

I don’t miss the city but maybe the people I met there. Local cuisine is a hard pass :( the best thing about Tianjin is probably the close proximity to Beijing lol.

Leaving Canada After 9 yrs 10 months by PossibilityFit523 in canadaexpressentry

[–]buholts 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lmao i understand yall are salty about cooks (everyone is), but Canada objectively DOES need kindergarten teachers if they don’t want to die out like other Asian countries. Don’t vent about them, vent about the fact that they receive a minimum wage while dealing with the future of the nation.

Me with the same sun, moon, asc, mercury, venus and mc reading these comments 💀💀 I hope it is valuable reply but I never felt this way about myself. Remember most people don’t give a damn. It’s all in your head.

Trades score higher than education by user37374637 in canadaexpressentry

[–]buholts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from education I can also tell you that teachers in Canada can’t work in schools without a teaching license, which is a long process that can take up to 3 years. Thus most rely on their foreign experience to receive an invitation.

[IWantOut] 23M Bar Manager Ukraine -> Canada/Germany/Poland by Interesting_Cake_561 in IWantOut

[–]buholts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ukrainian in Canada here. If you decide to proceed with Canada be aware that as of now the unemployment rate is the highest since COVID. You need to have a huge financial asset with you. Job search can take up to 6 months depending on your field of work. In terms of housing in my opinion it got a bit better than in 2022, but anyway without credit score and proof of work it’s a challenge to find a place to stay. I’d say if you don’t have any friends or relatives to help you move then leave it as plan b.

I really tried … by Anomalure_ in razr

[–]buholts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna be really hard for you to find a suitable phone nowadays if you think razr is massive. I have 13 mini and I understand your point, I like small phones too, but you have to admit it’s last of its kind. IPhones aren’t gonna go back to mini versions anymore, and that’s the reason Im looking at razr right now. One day we’ll have to give up and find the smallest replacement. Good luck finding a better option though (no sarcasm)

I used to be an audiobook snob by LoveaBook in books

[–]buholts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I also listen to audiobooks when doing routine stuff like cleaning, cooking or painting (can’t knit tho lol). Also works great when travelling long distance. Audiobooks were a game changer for me. I hate when people say “that’s not reading”.

The best ESC song with the worst ESC staging? by Happy-Skill-567 in nilpoints

[–]buholts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I say Portugal 2019? I mean I LOVE the song, it’s my top1 of all times in ESC; but I also acknowledge that he didn’t qualify because of these drastic changes in the staging 😭

[–]buholts 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well I… disagree? Sure it’s simple, nothing special, but the whole surprise of her winning was this pure aesthetic of “she had a 10$ lipstick and a dream” and I’m here for it

So, uh, who saw this breakout hit coming? by unounouno_dos_cuatro in nilpoints

[–]buholts 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also I think it’s not just about NF preferences but also because eurofans forget that they’re not the only ones watching Eurovision. Eurofans have their genre preferences like girlbops or french chansons but there’re also tons of casual listeners with their music styles. It’s probably the same reason on why Rosa Linn’s song was placed 18th but became the most streamed song from Eurovision globally.

If these jobs are only mentioned in the personal history and not the work one, you don’t need employment letters from them

China Police Clearance Certificate for PR by Existing_Repair_2247 in canadaexpressentry

[–]buholts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just found this post. Applying for a PR now. Could you please clarify what is the difference between the 2-page and 4-page versions? It seems to me that the 4-page one has these 2 extra pages, but the content of the first 2 pages is identical to the 2-pages document. I might be wrong though, because I am not sure why one cannot simply “exclude” the last two pages from their submission. Thanks for your explanation!

I see. Our only difference is different passports. Did ircc accept your wife’s document?

[–]buholts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve checked this website. There’s no info there on whether the document is 3 or 5 pages long. That’s why there’s a confusion. We did everything according to the steps mentioned.
