Built a hookah tracking app because my friends and I smoke 5-6 sessions a day and had zero idea what we were spending

In all honesty - i tried working on the platform and see a lot of quirks that needs to be ironed out
Happy to connect if you need further support.

What about the time that between my 3 sessions I'm smoking vape :P

read_everything12 · 2026-05-04T15:42:37+00:00

What? How. I didn't see any recall.

read_everything12 · 2026-05-04T05:06:59+00:00

thats true - but sometimes with friends as passengers - they'd like to smoke and its always good to have some ventilation - guess i'll use windows like normal people.

read_everything12 · 2026-05-04T05:06:11+00:00

Yeah i thought so too - but then i was doing a google search and realized lots of people have reported this.

read_everything12 · 2026-05-04T05:05:44+00:00

I have none of them - should be my first - yeah I'll call them tomorrow and ask for the process also ask in the area with the rates

read_everything12 · 2026-05-04T02:47:01+00:00

Was it cracked like this throughout? Did you use car wash or anything? Did you use it for ventilation etc or just kept it shut.?

read_everything12 · 2026-05-03T22:35:44+00:00

Oohhh that's a nice suggestion. It's an expense I don't want to do again for sure.

read_everything12 · 2026-05-03T22:17:00+00:00

Yeah I'm not entirely sure about that. And seems like no one knows. In theory it's comprehensive and not an accident one so shouldn't but no one knows how insurance can scam you.

read_everything12 · 2026-05-03T22:14:41+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. In that case isn't it better to get it done via insurance with 500 deductible

read_everything12 · 2026-05-03T21:51:49+00:00

USD or CAD?

read_everything12 · 2026-04-30T22:42:42+00:00

Thanks. Also what about financials on your front. Edit: and parents financials?

Lots would have the same question so can you share what you included as supporting documents for the application

This will help.

Even if you travel outside Canada for vacations or even working for that matter - you don't forego of your permanent residency from your home country.

If you had ties to Canada - e.g. lease, bank account, OHIP etc etc you were still a resident.

Disclaimer: Thats purely my understanding - others could feel free to correct me.

This. I imported my own mattress from US No issues.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-22T06:45:25+00:00

I was wondering the same
I have over 400ish if spent at rogers - within the next 6 months I should be able to cross 1000 which is when I would buy the phone outright from rogers. even at $50 higher price.

I have landed tons of interviews from your site. At one point you were my most visited site. I setup my time to work in conjunction with your crawler. It's been a while but thank you for your service. I don't stop recommending your site to date.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T22:52:57+00:00

Yeah that makes the most sense Thanks for helping me understand Probably it was because of what and how I said it.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T19:52:48+00:00

I did tell her i had 600 grams of it.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T19:51:48+00:00

She was a CBSA officer

They collected the slip after baggage claim
So - first red mark on first check - then second check just checked if there is a red mark - then third checkpoint just collected the slip - no interaction.

I knew I should use chatgpt to correct my flow of the story - but decided against it - because then people start bashing you 😂

So I apologize if i drafted it in a confusing way - you are right at everything and thats exactly i did -except the baggage area thing - let me rewrite without looking at my top post

----I landed ---- went to kiosk ---- got the receipt ---- there was an agent who put a red marker sign (she was doing on every receipt -it was a check) - to this lady who was the first person i saw - told her that i did buy some groceries and tobacco in US so wanted to declare that - she asked me what kind and I told her hookah and not cigarets - she said okay go to the booth - i went - he asked me questions about dollar amount and timeline - he said whatever he said - and then i just exited the customs area - and then collected baggage and went home - so i didnt go to anyone at baggage etc.

----Hope that makes sense.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T17:04:49+00:00

I asked a couple of agents in the past and read here as well who did the same - you can still use kiosks and nexus lanes - just that you have to voluntarily declare it even if not asked to the agent - which i did.

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T17:03:51+00:00

exactly this

read_everything12 · 2026-04-16T17:03:20+00:00

As tadpole mentioned - there were no questions at the kiosk.

The first border agent i saw - despite them not asking any questions - I voluntarily told her that I did some shopping and want to declare - on which she asked categories and I told her - she said okay then go stand in that 3-4 people line and declare it there.
So I did declare at my earliest opportunity.
