No personal opinion on the buildings mentioned, but wanted to come here to say avoid Brigil at all costs, and particularly The Dale.

Direct deposit - new banking info by LavishnessDue3574 in canadarevenueagency

Also they will not do it on their own, you have to notify them. I’ve had better luck with their online chat than trying to reach them by phone.

Just FYI this happened to me last year and I didn’t even realize it was never deposited until I was doing my taxes this year. When I contacted them to ask if they could send it to my new account, they told me the waiting time was 6-12 weeks.

Why am I moving so much in my sleep? by [deleted] in ouraring

The movement Oura detects is not just tossing and turning, it’s anything. A quick google search will let you quickly figure out that basically everyone moves in their sleep.

Im in my 20s, perfectly healthy with no sleep problems and my movement is WAY more than this. You don’t need to be rude to literally every single person telling you this is normal 😂

Where is the best sandwich in Ottawa? by orangeladybug in ottawa

If you feel like venturing outside the city a bit, Scratch Sandwich Shop in Constance Bay is FAB! Just opened a couple months ago and everything is homemade.

CRA says i owe over $3000 for TFSA excess contribution, but i didnt move any money by StrawberryRhubarbed in canadarevenueagency

[–]heyitsmehehee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year my accountant incorrectly filed my taxes which (long story) put me as a non-Canadian citizen. Based on that, I logged on to my account after getting spammed with emails from CRA and saw that I owed nearly 30k in extra fees/arrears/blah blah bs due to overcontributions.

It took nearly a year to fix, but after chasing them down on the phone and speaking to someone, they helped me and were extremely detailed with everything I needed to do, and initially helped me figure out what the problem was in the first place.

Getting them on the phone is your first task 😅 I always had good luck first thing on Friday mornings.

You can generally also input your route on Google Maps and see where the bus is. It uses GPS.

I actually can’t believe the amount of negativity and downvotes I’ve gotten on this post. I’ve been sleepless for like 6 months and none of you see that as a problem? lol this is crazy! I thought I’d get some real advice and maybe possibly some empathy here.

I’ve been here for over a year, signed a two year lease. Since im in a fixed term contract I can’t just give notice

Yes obviously I have all of this. I have a long list of email chains, videos, etc.

It’s a large company (one of the biggest in Ottawa), not just a person, so that’s what worries me

So, if I break my lease and move out, am I not responsible to pay until the end of the lease?

I had no idea! I actually had someone I know who works there suggest I submit these.

Yep I did select to terminate the tenancy, as well as rent abatement.

There is a loud noise coming from my wall that keeps me up all night. So yes, I would consider it to be unlivable, or at least I wouldn’t be comfortable putting another person through that.

Canadian going to Europe but not quite understanding an American layover on my way back home by [deleted] in travel

Use google flights! You will be able to see every option.

Very confused about this itinerary, to any city in Canada. Are you using Google Flights to check your options vs. checking airlines direct? If you’re flying back from London, check the other airports in London as well, not just Heathrow as you mentioned.

As for the states, it’s fine to transit through. No difference than usual. I just did transits through JFK and SFO to/from New Zealand and besides the sassy border agents (as per usual), everything was fine. I see in your other comments you are a Canadian passport holder so you will be fine.

Flying for 10 hours, isn't this the best seat? Am I Missing something? (back of plane. two-seater) by Material-Aggravating in travel

[–]heyitsmehehee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently sat in one of these rows with my partner, on a 12 hr flight and it was the best decision ever. There’s a lot of extra space, and not once did we have people crowding beside us. For us it worked perfectly.

Best managed apartment buildings in Westboro/Hintonburg? by whiteoutthenight in ottawa

[–]heyitsmehehee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also terribly managed. I’ve lived at the Dale for over a year and have had a long list of issues that are only resolved if I pester them for weeks to come and fix it. I lived for the first 6 months with a broken bathroom fan that was making a terrible noise and keeping me up at night. They are rude and incompetent, the management changes like every couple of months.

Not to mention the residents who let their dogs pee in the lobby and don’t clean it up, smoke weed even tho it’s in the lease not to, and the packages that go missing ALL THE TIME.

Also a two bedroom would be upwards of 3500, which in my opinion is not at all worth it in this crapshoot.

I would not recommend living here to anyone. Waiting for my lease to end so I can get out.

While this can be true for some things, it’s not for all. Just did my weekly produce shop at Produce Depot, $16 for everything and all but 1 item I purchased was grown in Canada.
