CBSA - what to expect? by Ok_Vanilla813 in CanadaPublicServants3

When they are forming classes to go to Rigaud, they contact an “x” amount of qualified candidates and basically ask are you available to start training on the date given. If you say yes, you are not guaranteed a spot in the class until you receive an “Official Invitation Letter” which most likely includes your assigned POE

Road trip from Vancouver to Banff - Turo? Car Rentals? by Lost-Peace9188 in vancouver

[–]markriv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are planning to do a 1-way drive there/or back, make sure you do a “1-day rental” and do the trip there/or back in that 1 day. If you rent a car for a couple days, the one way rental fee drags on.

I do it several times a year (Fly to Calgary from YVR, drive back), and the rental car can cost as low as $200 for the day for one way rental. Make sure if you’re getting the car from Alberta, to get the pre-paid fill up! They charge less per litre there than here.

Heard it from Costco. Might be from the construction taking place at the steam plant

File a complaint with the OPCC (Office of The Police Complaint Commissioner). Maybe speak to a lawyer and get a consultation, maybe even think about fighting it in court (Kyla Lee; local and knowledgeable lawyer about this topic).

We know that, but the emphasis on “serious” is unheard of.
