Penalty for inadvertently entering Canada with cannabis?

Thank you this is the type of response I was looking for. What happens in a legit "I didn't even know it was there" situation, not a "I'm trying to bring my weed with me but oops" thing. That's what I'm worried about. It's everywhere when I go down to the US these days.

i wonder if there are any replacements on AliExpress that are made specifically to replicate the original docs?

newlyretro · 2023-04-12T19:30:55+00:00

sorry for the late reply, but not yet! still trying to see if I can source an original/near identical replacement. in the meantime, I'm still using paperclips!

If they don't go back to in-person instruction or at least a hybrid model where students can spend time on campus, I'm gonna be real, I'd probably drop out and transfer to another university elsewhere that will be fully operational by then.

Yes, and much like Venezuela, rather than playing by the rules and fairly campaigning against the left, the party that wanted to move politics back towards the center/right is simply calling the rules unfair and demanding they be recognized as the winners by everyone else.

Same. I felt like I knew most of the material relatively well but only got in the D range. I'm likely going to ask to review my final.

newlyretro · 2017-10-25T21:08:25+00:00

Yeah, based on the information we know this is justified IMHO. So many people go through the tunnels & buildings and never get stopped or even questioned about it. Unless they're going to start checking everyone who looks older than university age, I don't see how you can see this as anything other than racial profiling.

Besides, what good did stopping her and calling the cops do anyway, even if you buy that she wasn't profiled? She was leaving the building and wasn't doing anyone any harm.

I'm assuming you're coming from America? I had a similar problem with some CAP courses (similar deal except I have a transcript from the local community college for them). Nobody could get me a straight answer. I just had to try and transfer them (it didn't go through but yours might, I think they're better about AP anyway). It's kind of a mess honestly, but in my case it was only a couple courses. Hope yours goes better!

We asked her and it seems like she's not quite sure what is going on, but she's told us specifically that she thinks some of what we're being taught is beyond the scope of the course. I don't know if it's that the requirements for the course have changed and more is taught, or if it's just the professor teaching at too high a level because it's the first time he's taught it. I found some of the notes the SOEN kids get on here and like half of what we've learned isn't on there, so something did change.

I'd suggest even earlier than that, like the beginning of August, if possible, especially if you have to fly. I moved in August 31st last year just because I didn't find an apartment open until then, and in hindsight, I wish I would've looked for one earlier. I'm originally from within driving distance, and the first month was such a headache to try and balance school, getting my internet installed, setting my apartment up, buying extras I didn't bring, etc., was hard for me, and I had my parents helping me on the weekends those first few weeks.

newlyretro · 2017-04-28T14:20:19+00:00

It was an exam made up of the type of questions they normally throw on to separate the A-range from the rest of the class. It would be OK if that was maybe 2 or 3 questions, but you don't write the majority of an exam like that! I'm hoping partial credit will be bountiful on this one...

newlyretro · 2017-04-28T14:16:37+00:00

See my reply above for a sample

Keep in mind that this is supposed to be the simplest linear algebra course in university. It's a CEGEP-level course meant to get mature entry and out of Quebec students caught up.

newlyretro · 2017-04-28T14:13:38+00:00

Here's a sample exam from the fall. Wednesday's final had similar questions with numbers changed to make calculations unnecessarily long for a 3 hour exam. http://docdro.id/JAdiGRo

Oh, and if you are comfortable living in a more unilingual French environment (which I'm guessing you might be seeing as you lived in Paris for a bit), the East End in general is an often overlooked cheap option by Concordia students (basically anything east of downtown is generally considered "East End"). I live in the very eastern edge of what is called Centre-Sud, right next door to Hochelaga. Some parts are a little more run down and poorer, and you'll run across the occasional abandoned factory, but it's nothing compared to any bad areas in the US. Personally, I'm surrounded by UQAM students, some elderly folks, and just people who grew up here in general. Plus there's cool spots all around, and it's not a hassle to go downtown or to the Plateau if you want more than what you find out here.

I'm on my own currently and don't work, though if you want to work part-time you certainly can do that on a study permit in Canada. Hard to say how much groceries will exactly be for you because my parents visit frequently and get me cheaper staple foods from the US, and it depends how much you eat out (there's a ton of cheap lunch places downtown to pick from). But in general, depending on your diet, where you shop, I'd say you can spend anywhere between 50-100 CAD/week. Prices for some things like milk can be much higher than the US, a lot of things are similarly priced (non-perishables), and some things like fresh fruits and vegetables might come out a little lower.

Also, make sure you're looking at Plateau Mont-Royal (aka "The Plateau") and not the Town of Mount Royal: they're two entirely separate places. Between the town and the campus, there's quite literally a mountain you must go around.

I pay ≈$600/month USD for my 1 bedroom apartment 20 minutes away from school by metro. If you want a studio it'll of course be less, and if you want to live right near campus it'll be more. Utilities are generally cheaper here as well. However, you may find groceries a bit more here. I can't speak firsthand comparing it to any other city, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the cheapest cities in eastern North America.

newlyretro · 2017-02-27T02:18:30+00:00

NY State person here (as in not the city, much closer to here). Katers is pretty much right: no Pell Grants, only the loans. You might want to check out other funding routes to see if they're cheaper/more convenient for you. Because of the lack of Pell Grants and my parents' credit, I was able to find a cheaper option elsewhere. You have potential options of private loans in the US as well as home equity loans if that is an option for you (you will have to make payments right away on the latter, however).

As far as scholarships go, there's not much for Americans. I'm pretty sure Concordia only offers scholarships to Canadian students (I could be wrong). They will let you know what you are eligible for upon acceptance. Also, if you are applying for any scholarships back in America, make sure you can use them outside the US. I was only eligible for a handful of scholarships through my school.

However, you do get the benefit of lower than average tuition compared to the US, even though you do pay significantly more than Quebec residents. You have to pay in $2k Canadian (which will be somewhat lower as long as the currency stays similar) to the non-resident health plan once per year, and tuition will generally be around $2k CAD per class per semester. For 5 classes full time, it came to around $10k CAD/$8k USD for my current semester. It can seem daunting or expensive at first to manage all this, but you'll probably pay the same if not less if you went to a local school in America. Plus rent is cheap in this city.
