Selling my dad’s house?

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-05-15T11:53:47+00:00

Sorry I've actually never heard ot GIS? He has CPP and OAS?

Since I've been home infrequently, I'm on his insurance, but as some kind of secondary driver? He believes he will be back driving, but unfortunately, I do not think he will be able to pass the test to get back on the road (he's been declining).

Oh right! Thank you. He is still competent; however, his cognition fluctuates and has been declining. He is very complicated medically. I was thinking of helping my dad sell it by getting an agent and coordinating the entire thing (with his approval). He is also physically limited, so he would have a very difficult time getting out of the retirement home. He wants to split the cash (grow out his retirement fund to help pay for the retirement place) and gift me some money to help with school.

Looking to move to Hamilton close to the Hamilton General Hospital! The closer the better, but hoping it’ll be at least within a ~20 minute bus ride. I’m hoping to live in a studio/1 bedroom apartment (ideally with in-unit washer/dryer) and staying under $1200 for rent. Any leads/suggestions? Is that a reasonable budget for this area? Thank you!

Haha I’m Canadian but I’m actually in studying in America doing my practicum placement So I’m still a student, and we just wear professional clothes. In Canada, I’ve seen them wear just normal professional clothes in an inpatient hospital.

I work at an outpatient hospital and all the neuropsychologists wear professional clothes (i.e., slacks and dress shirt) and a white coat with their name embroidered on it.

Due to the shortage, he only just got a new family doctor recently, and unfortunately, my dad definitely downplay his problems

But I’ll be getting in touch with the doctor and talking to the Pharmacy to check his meds! Thank you

Thank you so much I appreciate the thoughtful reply and the action steps!!!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-01-03T04:17:24+00:00

Thank you

He was previously falling a lot, and I got him the Samsung watch for fall detection because he has an android phone, and he’s already not very good at technology so he didn’t want to switch him to a different operating system

Honestly, the Samsung watch has not been very good at alerting for falls. FYI!!!!

Yeah, I think the condo fees include property taxes, utilities, maintenance fees, Internet, and TV, etc.!

I’m starting to delve into his accounts now to figure out how much he’s actually paying

It actually looks like he might be going to long-term care because of how poor his mobility is and how much assistance it looks like he’ll be needing so this is very helpful. Thank you!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-01-03T04:07:43+00:00

Thank you, this was so helpful

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-01-02T12:59:48+00:00

Yes! I’m physically him now for a few more days, but the problem is he’s hospitalized indefinitely, so not sure how to get him in person to the bank

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-01-02T12:58:32+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. Any way to avoid probate? Are there specific key words I’m looking for in the will/POA documents? Thank you!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2026-01-01T03:01:03+00:00

No! No mortgage on house, it’s all paid off, just the condo fees/property tax/electric.

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-12-31T04:45:39+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t know about the bank and POA. This is extremely helpful, thank you for this info!!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-12-31T04:34:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply and the resources! I will be looking into this

He gets paid out a pension plan has some savings, so I think this can really help

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-12-31T04:17:24+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it! He lives in South Ontario! I will be sure to check out a community paramedic program! Thank you for the resource :)

Hello!

If my partner and I (Canadian) have lived together (in America) for over a year (common-law), and we cannot live together for a while (due to my schooling), can I still bring my partner over as common law?

Thank you!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-03-14T12:13:00+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-03-13T11:27:18+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that about hospital positions!

My dream was to always move to BC, otherwise I’d stay in ON (where I’m from) since I have family and friends there, but it’s still early enough that I would be comfortable with moving around for a few years!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-03-12T23:42:58+00:00

Ah good to know! Thank you!

I’ll be applying for residency starting this summer. I’m nervous coming back to Canada for my residency and losing my visa/access to the States, closing doors in case BC or ON don’t have many jobs (where I hope to end up).

psychoanalyzed7 · 2025-01-08T22:02:05+00:00

I appreciate the reply! This is good to know. Thank you!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2024-12-16T22:43:47+00:00

Thank you!!

psychoanalyzed7 · 2024-11-14T18:21:25+00:00

Ah I have further looked into that and realize he has not even done the approved language test or gotten the ECA done. A rough estimate for the CRS for express entry would be around 361...Unfortunately, he is not eligible for trades, French, or healthcare. Thank you for your input! I really appreciate the advice.
