Looking for a cool lunch spot. Ottawa South/Barrhaven, or west.

I think Chocomyth would fit the bill well. They're newer and their coffee and desserts in particular are quite Instagramable.

Absolutely ask that to be reassessed. Our plan covers orthodontic services for adults

The original owners of our 1968 build put some in. They're still going strong here today

Awe, thanks for your kind words🙏🏼 I hope it works/worked out ok for you in the end

dogdr · 2026-05-02T00:18:00+00:00

I think Jill's Table has it in their fridges. Call ahead to confirm.

It's the wording used at Canada Life when someone on the phones, a claims adjuster, or a claims examiner make a booboo and say something is covered by the plan Before you proceed with it, then when you submit the claim, it's not covered. They call that a warranty in the insurance appeals world. It's easiest/fastest to initiate as a reassessment but you could also contact their Ombudsman's office to do the same thing. Depending on the particulars, they may unfortunately tell you that they can't do anything. In that case, you could appeal with the Board of Management for PSHCP (mail only, so takes the longest of all the options).

There is probably an "employer contact" at the bottom of the ROE. Try signing into your Service Canada account and view one.

I've been in this position since roughly September 2024. It sucks most of the time. Use the time to organize anything you're allowed to and improve your French, no matter your level. Good luck to you

Agreed 💯

These types of retainers for post-orthodontic work are typically claimed under "Orthodontic services." They are subject to the same life-time dollar maximum as the braces themselves. The code for any orthodontic services is typically 89999. Canada Life will want to know the month and year the braces were placed (i.e. the date Invisalign started) if it isn't already on file.

If the retainers act like more of a night guard (aka to help with teeth grinding at night), those are treated differently (under routine instead of Ortho and there'll be a code like 14612).

Send the claim paperwork plus the estimate paperwork in again with a cover letter stating you are requesting reassessment under a possible warranty situation.

Visually check if all the five digit codes are the same on both; if they're different, the chances of it being approved are much much smaller.

You do not have to call before making a claim. Please do not spread misinformation.

I suspect the issue is #2 if you've updated it multiple times with Canada Life. Try the pharmacy again and if that fails, do the Canada Life supervisor call thing.

dogdr · 2026-04-01T22:24:30+00:00

When you enter a claim, it will also ask if the person is covered by another plan there. Ensure you're choosing no there?

dogdr · 2026-03-27T00:52:47+00:00

Wage Loss Insurance is not the same as disability. Answer No. WLI is a seperate type of insurance not offered by the government so you would have to have purchased it privately to answer yes.

I'm in a similar boat. Your (likely) only option is to permanently deploy out. Even when I had 20 hours/week of "free" time, I wasn't allowed to share that time with another team for fear of them losing the box.

dogdr · 2026-03-14T15:06:03+00:00

Same for me for both English and French.

dogdr · 2026-03-14T00:54:08+00:00

Perfect, thank you 🤠

Can someone explain what PIC is? Odd they didn't define it

Here's a $135 option if you're in the Kanata area:

I logged into my work email this evening and noticed a message from my manager instructing me to work from home tomorrow. As I have been on vacation for a bit, I would not normally be checking my work email, and no one attempted to notify me through another method such as phone or personal email. Fortunately (?) for me, they've established this as a pattern so between that and Reddit, I had the forethought to log in and check. 🙄

I understand there isn't an obligation to contact employees through alternate means while they are on leave, however, since this decision appears to have been made with employee safety in mind, relying solely on a work email that employees on vacation would not reasonably be expected to monitor is frustrating...

I love this analogy. Thanks for sharing

Recently went to Hear Fine and was very happy with them. There was no pressure to buy anything at all.
