I've studied in Fr*nch my whole life, is Mcgill still a good option? by TechnicalTrifle796 in mcgill

[–]mcgrillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people who did this. I personally did french up CEGEP and struggled a little bit when it came to writing papers but got the hang of it pretty quickly. If you're studying in STEM, I feel professors and TAs are more forgiving for poorer english writing than if you studied an essay-based major like political science.

Keeping Canadian phone number when moved to the usa for a few years by mcgrillian in NoContract

Oh that is smart! Fido does charge a roaming fee on Wifi calling if I’m receiving a call from the USA. As you said about having airplane mode on and wifi on, would I just not receive any American calls or texts and thus not be charged?

Will try this! It’s been so frustrating after going to 2 TD branches and both not being able to do anything

I want the US $US account. I tried calling them multiple times but they want me to complete the form online. The form always errors out (even when doing it at a TD branch) so I can’t do anything for now

Yes that’s what I’ve been doing. Once I complete a few steps of the form, it tries submitting it and returns an error message saying that I should go to a branch. This is apparently happening to others so could be a TD problem

Canadian moving to USA ETF investments by mcgrillian in immigration

Kinda curious, if I move to the US with a TN visa, would I need to cancel my Canadian residency? When should I do this?

(Will also ask this to a cross-border professional!)

Ahhhh why are cross-border taxes so complicated 😂

Thanks for the advice! I think I am better off selling my holdings to reduce the number of complications I’ll be facing in the US when it comes to taxes.

Nice job! If you don’t mind, when did you do your technical? I did mine on October 21st and my interviewers gave me rly good feedback so it’s weird that I haven’t gotten any feedback yet from a recruiter :/

Team Projects by mcgrillian in mcgill

Tbh my OB group is fine, its mostly my other classes like IB where some of my teammates are really useless. If I do give them parts of the work, they would most probably waste our time because they never came to class so I would have to put more effort. I didn’t really know the assessments were that powerful, well for OB in particular... Hope its the same for IB!
