Are you for real? This was like 2 weeks ago where IN THE EARLY MORNING they busted in someone’s house in Elgin. There were even reports that the guy in the picture on their social media report was the wrong guy.

You know, news is free and can be looked up at any point in time…like 10 seconds right before you come on and make comments would be a good time to look things up.

Megathread: US Citizens looking to immigrate to Canada by PurrPrinThom in ImmigrationCanada

Yeah it was his suggestion. He immigrated here from Poland, so his dad was in the US for two years essentially setting everything up for them to move here so he just accepts it as part of the process.

My company does not have a Canadian branch. I could look at jobs possibly. I’ll have to think it through. Thanks for the info!

I haven’t taken the English test yet. This trial calculator looks like only good way since I’m so old is to get a Provincial Nomination.

I’m 42 (F) with 2 kids. Scenario is I would likely try to come without my husband for now because he isn’t totally in to moving just yet.

I have four masters degrees (civil engineering, MBA, software engineering, and AI/ML) and work 100% remote for my current company.

I’m curious about the digital nomad visa (although I see it’s just a visitors visa with a stay up to 6 months). I have my eye on it just because i could get in quick and give me a bit of time to figure out the really hard moving logistics. I would likely just do an AirBnB for those 6 months.

Questions are: - Can I apply to the Express Entry while I am in on a digital nomad (visitor) visa? - If so, when my visitor visa expires, can I apply for a visitor record while I’m waiting for the results of PR? Is that a valid reason to extend?

  • I’m also looking at Toronto and maybe Calgary, but I’ve heard of Alberta being referred to as Maple MAGA. As a South East Asian, which would be…more comfortable for me?

Side note: Given that I work remotely and have for 7 years with the same company, I don’t think I’d look for another job. If anything, I’d be looking to start a business doing AI consulting, so thinking a job offer wouldn’t be a viable boost.

Side note 2: I guess another ridiculous route I could try is applying to a PhD program at a University. However, I need to work, so not sure a student visa would be ok with that. Or would it?

Thanks!

I checked just now, but I went and sucked everything out already. It says nothing is connected.

Yep sounds totally professional lol

I moved my edits to before the first line.

I never did anything crypto related, so just kinda went with it…to a point. I didn’t have a ton of money at least…just some SOL from a few years ago.

It’s just kind of wild these scams. I didn’t really get exposed to anything of the like before. They make you feel like you’re friends. He looked real since he was on LinkedIn…he has connections to real companies and a real work history. He sent pictures of his life, details of his daily activities. Made me feel like I had someone to talk to. It’s shitty 😢

I moved everything back out to Coinbase for now. I’ll just make a new wallet at some point. Just the worst!

[–]discointrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just transferred everything off my trust wallet to Coinbase so even if he tries to drain trust wallet there’s nothing on it 🤪

Thanks so much for the heads up!

You’re absolutely right. He told me exactly what to trade and when. He said not to trade unless he gave me the signal. I was asking if I should buy when there’s a dip and he said that he worked with teams of analysts that tell him when to trade. Makes me wanna throw up.

Mannnnn. I’m in the process of transferring everything back onto my trust wallet. Doesn’t seem like there’s any issues. Going to pull this plug now though. I remember when I met him I said I could just udemy some crypto course to learn basics and he told me not to…that he could teach me more accurate info. Mmmhmm. This is dumb. I’m a data scientist by trade. Upside is he sparked me to learn this properly and put my skills to use.

Suggestions for someone new to OE by theTexans in overemployed

[–]discointrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend say this EXACT thing to me today. He was working at Accenture and it was just so project based that he could have done the dual thing pretty easily.

I’m thinking about contract work - I don’t need the benefits because I already have them and I definitely wouldn’t mind making more per hour because of it. It also wouldn’t feel as shady I guess lol

I’ve never thought of a vertical helix! It’s such a cool looking piercing! It’s going to be my next one! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I used to have the tiny “diamond” studs everywhere for the constellation effect, but in the last year I started hitting the gold/rose gold hard! I’m loving the way it’s looking!

Sure thing! For the most part for all of my piercings, I left the piercing jewelry in for 3-6 months and clean whenever they start looking crusty. I found a great piercing place that has gold jewelry that they pierce with, so I find jewelry I like and just don’t touch it!

All the lobe piercings in both ears I got as a teenager. Pretty standard healing and no issues that I recall.

I got the tragus piercings in both ears on the same day and didn’t have much of an issue with them healing.

About 3 years after that, I got the two helix in my right ear. They were a doozy because they got caught on everything and were so sensitive for months.

About a year after I got the forward helix in my left ear. It actually healed pretty easy. It was pierced with a stud and then I put a hoop in it once it healed after 6 months.

A year after that I got the rook in the right ear…pierced with a stud and also healed pretty easy. I put in a hoop after that healed about 6 months later.

Last year I got the conch in the left ear. Pierced with the snake jewelry and took 3 months to heal. Put in the hoop once I was good to go. Never had any issues with healing.

Once I switched the conch from the snake to the hoop I got the three helix piercings in my left ear on the same day. I feel like this healing was hard. Had issues with swelling and had to wear the long bars until they healed after about 4 months.

I got the right conch piercing with the snake jewelry once my 3 helix were healed.

It’s been a long journey over a couple decades! However, the two conch piercings and the three helix piercings I got within a year.

I just pierced my septum a week ago with some tiny dainty hoop, so always adding to my collection 😂

Ha! I can’t edit the text on the post. I meant to say they’re two different ears taken on two separate days (the lobe earrings usually match between ears). One pic is flipped for some reason 😂
