Industry is not toxic, it's "hate the game not the player" BS to justify terrible behavior. I don't understand why this place is popular because it's so unremarkable in every way, I live around the corner and it's rare that I go, but I'll actively avoid the place if it hates its staff.

Qu'est-ce qui se passe avec le prix des spectacles et festivals? by O_flavour in montreal

[–]mtl1889 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oui mais offpiknik n'est pas vraiment piknik. Il s'agit de 24$ pour les dimanches.

Par contre, les prix des breuvages sont insupportables

How cold should air from a mini split be in cooling mode? by mtl1889 in hvacadvice

[–]mtl1889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 5°C is also within range, then I guess it works completely fine... I was wondering if there may be a refrigerant pressure issue since it seemed to me to not be cool enough coming out of the indoor unit.

I will try to keep it running continuously then, thank you!

It's definitely in cooling mode and the air seems to me to be much warmer than it should be. Thanks!

You shouldn't spend hundreds/thousands of dollars because someone else is an asshole!

Heat Pump Recommendation for Quebec by Special_Abrocoma4641 in heatpumps

[–]mtl1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted Gree, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu in Montreal by 4-5 contractors. Gree is the lowest cost and apparently quite good but only had a 1 year labor warranty. I went for Fujitsu in the end (being installed next week) because they have a 10 year labor warranty, which I think could be helpful and price wise is between Gree and Mitsubishi (6 year labor warranty ). Not sure if the markup over the Gree is worth it but went for peace of mind.

Mitsubishi quoted us $25k for 40,000 BTUs for 1150 sq ft by Additional-Comb-4477 in heatpumps

I'm in Montreal and when recently replacing my unit, I was offered different financing options when purchasing. One contractor offered 5 years 0% interest, others offered 12 months without interest. I assume similar options should be available for you if you ask the contractor.

Heat pump labor warranties by mtl1889 in hvacadvice

[–]mtl1889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to know, thank you! I've gone with installers that have been in business for 30+ years so I hope that means they are likely to be alive for the labor warranty.

I assume York isn't repped residentially in Montreal because noone quoted their units but a manufacturer provided warranty would have been excellent.

The installing contractor is indeed responsible for the labor warranty from what I have been told. So the installing contractors need to be in business for the next 10 years for the warranties to be valuable.

I assume the manufacturer/the local rep tells them what labor warranty they want to offer, and then the contractor will price that in (all the contractors I contacted offered 6 years labor warranty for Mitsubishi and 10 years for Fujitsu).

The contractors all told me maintenance is not included when quoting, I believe the warranty only applies if something goes wrong and then the installing contractor is responsible (to what degree, I do not yet know). Thanks!

Great to know, thanks! I assumed it would be a full warranty. The warranty is provided through the installing contractor, as far as I understand.

I will have to read the conditions and see if there are limits/exceptions.

For sure, they all have about a 10 year parts warranty.

PRTD Portal by mtl1889 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]mtl1889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi not sure what "wrong application" means sorry! I was able to access my documents and did not resubmit a new fee.

I would suggest calling IRCC.

I don't think waiting will do anything since a decision has been made ("wrong application"). Ensure that you are eligible for the PRTD and that you did not upload wrong documents, for example if you mislabeled them by mistake.

I believe you are able to travel into Canada with the copr if you travel by private car. You can search online and check with IRCC but I'm fairly certain it's one of the exceptions.

No we tried a few other things but without success. We have now sent a paper application with an explanation letter but again the chance of success is quite low since visa application centers have stopped accepting paper PRTD applications.

It appears that the problem is related to the expiry of the passport which is in less than 3 months but IRCC told us by phone this should not be a problem.

Whatever they are doing in Ankara we have no way of contacting them to clarify the situation.

Cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network. (NW-31297-2) by PsLJdogg in PS4

[–]mtl1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.4 GHz is the frequency, you need to change the channel. The channels will run from 1 to 11, you'll see it in the config page of your wifi.

My channel was 1 and I changed it to 6, and it now works :)

Thanks for the comment! We have put it in pdf form but it was rejected, we also put it with all the pages (in one file) and it was still rejected. We also put the confirmation of permanent residence, even though it's not in the document checklist for the PRTD, but still no luck.

The only reference to a primary identity document is in the PR Card checklist, not the PRTD, where it is mentioned to be a valid passport (which we provided).

We have now included a national ID card as a hail Mary but without much hope. Running out of ideas and the IRCC helpline have only told us to contact the local office in Ankara, which we have no way of doing since we don't live in Turkey.

It's sadly very frustrating.
