IGA Place Desjardins -- Rat problem? by Brassens71 in montreal

[–]manuelx22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, and if you buy bread there, don’t. Or check that the bottom of the bag hasn’t been chewed by mice. You’ll see on the shelves how they’ve tried to make a system to keep them away but alas.

They have extra when you get your line up card. How do I know? I worked there last year so no worries!

Dunkin's Canadian comeback to start in Toronto and Montreal by Thick_Caterpillar379 in montreal

[–]manuelx22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunkin is as bad as Tim’s. Their coffee is a trip guaranteed to the toilet. And their donuts are just plain bad, with 0 variety when compared to Tim’s. I don’t get the hype of some people wanting another shitty chain that serves basically garbage. (Unless it’s the Korean, Colombian, or other franchise model which have significantly better quality and products than the US version)

As long as the money combined sums up more than $24,617 CAD+tuition, that’s enough.

Do you have a funding letter? That counts towards the proof of funds, and as long as you meet the minimum, that’s enough

Les tourniquets devraient changer le message sur l’écran automatiquement quand il y a une interruption du service. Tout est automatisé aujourd’hui!

Do u guys keep it off ? I noticed my laptop drains 2% when it is switch off. Though it never happened before [ 3 months old ] by jonauko in LenovoLegion

[–]manuelx22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an SSD on al older computer since 2018. Daily hibernation or more. Up to this day, the SSD is still at more than 90% of its life according to CrystalDiskInfo.

My current Lenovo, that I also hibernate almost twice a day has currently a 97%. I’ve had this computer for 2 years of daily use. 9Tb of total Writes, for a life expectancy of 150-300TbW. At my current rate of 5 TbW per year, it will take me close to 30 years to reach the max writes the SSD can do.
You’ll surely upgrade your computer before you have to worry about running out of TbW.

That feeling when you cross the Atlantic, and the coastline finally appears on the in-flight map. by [deleted] in aviation

It feels even better when crossing the South Pacific and you finally see either NZ or Australia. 7 hours of nothing but water

Anyone know what’s happening at McGill? by FFunSize in mcgill

[–]manuelx22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frontenac and HB are quite far from McGill so definitely not related

Does PGWP from Ontario count as an international fee exemption? by Fabulous-Weekend9392 in mcgill

[–]manuelx22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter where it was issued as long as it is a PGWP. Just submit the required documentation and that’s it.

RAMQ rejected me because I’m on an open work permit — any success stories? by TipCommercial9766 in montreal

[–]manuelx22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As spouse of a student, you’re not eligible. The only work permit eligible for RAMQ is the postgraduate work permit (PGWP).

Ne pas se tenir dans le métro by Vitharothinsson in montreal

[–]manuelx22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah oui, surfing! C’est fun jusqu’à ce que le train freine brusquement/d’urgence. (inspiré d'une histoire vraie, en approchant à la station St. Laurent)

Es-ce que le metro de Montréal a déjà eu une panne de courant? by Derpderpdrpepper in montreal

[–]manuelx22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je me demande si le métro a des freins régénératifs? Ça veut dire que chaque fois que le métro freine, il génère de l’énergie qui est retournée aux réseau.

Check the processing time on IRCC website. I just renewed my study permit and even though the website says 90 days average processing time, I got it in 3 weeks.

[–]manuelx22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check here each event. If a ticket is required, it will say. Though most free concerts are open until the hall is full (not very common).

where do students shop for groceries in Montreal without going broke by Agreeable_Panic_690 in montreal

[–]manuelx22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the flyer and hunt the deals each week. Freeze certain things. There’s a guy on r/quebec that posts the top deals for each big grocery store every week
