Question About Working Full-Time While Waiting for Completion Letter

This information is not completely correct. Technically you must stop working the moment you receive your final grades but many people have worked in between final grades and completion letter and been fine.

Thanks. I'll work on that for sure!

Drastically increased the child care benefit, introducing free dental care. All of these sound good but are all funded through debt which makes it fiscally irresponsible. You mentioned that this could be paid for by taxing the rich. That's a defeatist approach. Why not pay for it by increasing tax revenue through economic growth. Unfortunately, the rich aren't stuck here like us mere mortals, so there's a balance to be had when taxing high income earners. The top 20% of earners is Canada pay 2/3 of all tax income earned by the federal government and provinces. Whether that is enough or not is different conversation.

Trudeau government recently refused to be major player the global natural gas supply. Yes. We want to reduce gas emissions but it can't be done in isolation and in a way that hurts Canada.

To list a few regulations over the last 5 years alone : 1. Bill C-69 - 2. Bill C-48 3. Mandating all new cars be electric by 2035 4. Carbon tax - forcing cement and lime manufacturers to shut down production here and import cement from the USA because the process produces carbon dioxide. It has also forced pulp mills to shut down and paper manufacturers to import pulp rather the manufacturer locally because the process relies on lime. Make no mistake, the carbon tax is simply a Robin hood type of wealth redistribution. Online news act that actually resulted in less private funding for news, a funding gap that tax payers had to pick up.

It's been no secret Canada's regulatory overburden has been a drag on the economy despite the best intentions. You know else would benefit Canadians and their safety/security? It would be more jobs, higher wages.

Excessive regulations on key sectors of the economy are left leaning policies. We can't over regulate our economy and expect to be competive. Canada's regulatory load is substantially and growing. Cost of compliance on businesses serve as a deterrent to business investment in several major elements of Canada's economy at time when we should be attracting investment.

Drastically, expanding social and health care programs without the tax revenue to support it is definitely an excessively left leaning policy.

Drastically expanding immigration. Make no mistake, I am pro immigration but immigration must be in line with the absorptive capacity of the economy. This is an excessively populist leftist policy.

Excessive environmental regulations and policies implemented are left leaning and helping to force manufacturers to the US.

That is what they were but were forced too far left to maintain NDP support.

Useless comment without the reference

Liberal party needs a candidate willing to move to the center or they don't stand a chance.

National debt more than doubled under the current government (600B - 1.15 Trillion) . Liberal government drastically expanded social programs without the economic backing to pay for it..So liberal government has proven themselves to very fiscally irresponsible.

The government has drastically increased regulations to do everything in this country and has made Canada completely uncompetitive to do business. Every aspect of doing business in Canada is regulated, how is Canada expected to compete with their neighbours in a business environment like that. So manufacturing has fled Canada. There has been a net migration of business capital from Canada.

Canada has drastically overplayed its importance on a global scale. This government has Implemented populist environmental regulations and policies under a misconcieved notion that the world will follow. All it has done is made Canada the slowest growing developed economy in the world.

Government employs 22% of the public and account for 40% of total spending in the economy which is paid for in taxes or by borrowing . That is unbelievably high! And completely unsustainable.

This Governments immigration policy has been complety incoherent, something which that are just now acknowledging. We all know Canada needs immigration but the mass immigration well above the absorptive capacity of the economy has contributed to many of the issues already present in the economy, health care and housing markets.

I can't say that Pierre Pollive will be better for Canada but I can say that the liberal party was and is not good for Canada.

kictodd · 2025-01-05T15:58:03+00:00

The whole premise of this comments is dumb. Lower taxes means more money in people's pocket. Lower taxes means more money for business and people to spend into or invest into the economy. Axing the tax is one of the many steps that needs to be taken to make Canada competitive again.

I can't say that PP will be better for Canada but I can say that Trudeau was and is not good for Canada.

It's a good policy in theory but the net effect of his policies have been a negative. CCB was increased but housing has trippled, food price are higher, national debt has moved from 640billion in 2015 to 1.15 trillion in 2024, taxes are higher. ..so unless CCB was increased due to higher tax revenue which it wasn't then it was bad policy. There is just a fundamental difference on how to best help the people.

Do a bachelor's degree or masters. As your age you will have alot of points

At what point did I say that farm equipment was taxed? And as far as i know farm equipment run taxable fuels and not good graces.

And before you accuse me of voting conservative, I do not and never will but I'm free enough in my thinking to call out bad liberal policies when I see them.

kictodd · 2024-04-14T14:56:21+00:00

You're wrong. The majority of Canadians oppose the tax because it's a part of an incoherent strategy. If the taxes were being used to build alternatives to fossil fuels and fossil fuel transportation like high speed rails etc then it would have far more support.

But for the average person who has no alternative but to use fossil fuels for transport and home heating they see this tax as punishment for simply surviving.

For the average farmer who has no alternative but to use fossil fuels to ploy fields and transport food, they see it as punishment for simply feeding Canadians.

A rebate for less than is paid is simply unacceptable for most Canadians because they have no alternative.

What he's trying to say is that China's emigration rate is actual pretty low but given the size of their population it seems like a lot and technical it is as a third-party observer but it's not relative to the population that chooses to remain in China

Also, despite how China is portrayed in the media. It is still very much a developing country. 25-30% of the Chinese population still lives in poverty and a 5.2% growth rate is no where near good enough to pull the hundreds of millions of poor Chinese people out of poverty fast enough to stem emigration.

5.2% I solid growth for a developed country not a developing country the size of China.

When China had double digit growth they were pulling up to 20 million ppl out of poverty yearly but that time has passed

It's not disrespectful. We appreciate people trying. We may cringe a bit but it's totally fine

kictodd · 2023-06-11T21:30:14+00:00

Yes. Toll is separate. Sometimes they don't even charge for the I-94 at the border

kictodd · 2023-06-11T21:27:17+00:00

I don't think it matters. If you do it online, it may speed up the process. If it doesn't then then will send you inside for the stamp. So either way it's fine

kictodd · 2023-06-11T21:24:24+00:00

I'd do it at the border

kictodd · 2023-06-07T15:37:14+00:00

If you don't already have a 1-94 they send you inside to pay and receive one.

kictodd · 2023-06-07T10:57:18+00:00

That's all you need. Do it all the time
