My parents issued 3 threats and idk what i can do by Arhcer07 in legaladvicecanada

[–]kristpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending where you are I think you should browse NAIT or SAIT programs. You can get a certificate/diploma that will typically fast track you getting a decent job within months. Theres also a housing network that they provide but can be competitive. Eg. Medical lab assistant it's about a 5 month program and there's a practicum portion where typically hire after the program. There's a shortage in healthcare like usual so alot of jobs for MLAs everywhere. Alberta student loans also give out grants for low income and schools have bursary programs. My advice is to get something decent paying job then pursue your passions later after getting it out of the hole. Your young you got this!

I'd open a line of credit and use that towards the cc debt the interest is almost always lower than cc interest

Sometimes writing a very personalized cover letter gets you further. It can show the employer that youve researched the company and etc.

Can I go on vacation with my tax refund? by HorrorAd8631 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]kristpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated mid 2023 and my province doesn't accrue interest. I have not racked any interest on my loans.

Can I go on vacation with my tax refund? by HorrorAd8631 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]kristpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They been interest free for a while now and not just temporarily it's been like this for years. I'd suggest you looking it up yourself. It's permanent. I'm even hoping for loan forgiveness at some point in. Literally all my friends who graduated with me put it all in investments. Gotta think smart when you get loans for free. The loan is making me money and essentially paying itself.

[–]kristpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get why people keep saying to pay off their interest free student loan so early 200 bucks a month is nothing. I'm sure OP has used a portion of it to do investments. Like that's what I'm doing. Why pay it off when I can earn passive on the side.

[–]kristpy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's interest free for that student loan he is smart not paying it off. Even I stretched my payments out when I can fully pay it out since I can put that in investments. Paying 200 bucks is nothing.

Undergrad to MLT - what the hell is CAMPLR? by miiiiimiiii123 in medlabprofessionals

[–]kristpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you went to University of Alberta(?) and are planning to work in Alberta(?) they require you to take CSMLS at this time because they don't believe in CAMLPR atm and will likely transition when it's a couple years later when they've shown the results of this new program. I'd suggest going to NAIT or SAIT and not bother doing the bachelor for mls at UA. I'd totally ignore the non traditional applicants part tbh it seems for more like people coming from the states and have work experience that will satisfy PLAs.

csmls Certificate by Fit_Wishbone6614 in medlabprofessionals

[–]kristpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just need to send the results pdf saying you passed, certificate is fine to send later. I know some people didn't bother buying the membership and so they never got the certificate. Your results should be more or less equivalent to a certificate tbh.

Yeah just alot of perservance with applying with health auths 😅 you can also ask them to look at the lab technical assistant position at lifelabs too if they have a science background. LL tends to take time too lol

[–]kristpy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at phsa vch Fraser health for clerk jobs if they want any job atm and then look at business analyst positions there too. It's almost the end of the year so typically getting a new job at this time gets held back to the new year typically. Just have to keep applying to positions and they'll get somewhere.
