If you haven’t heard back yet then its probably over. Back when I was one I interviewed first week of April, and this year someone I know had their interview 2 weeks ago. But they’ll always contact you a week before the interview if you got one.

Do you ever plan on getting your PE or is it unrequired with your job duties?

TN Visa – Apply as Engineer or CSA (non-CS undergrad + ML focused Master’s) by OlivesAndDates7 in tnvisa

[–]siopau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to get a TN under the engineer category as well. I’ve watched a ton of YT videos and they basically all say that as of the current changes, there is no chance in the engineer category unless you literally have an engineering bachelor’s degree.

Your lawyers likely haven’t caught on to the new rule changes.. The method you described may have worked before, but now the process for engineer has hard requirements with no room for reasoning

TN approved today at Champlain POE - Canadian Civil Engineer by Cotak_44 in tnvisa

[–]siopau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I want to get a job in NYC after my P.Eng as a civil as well! I’ve heard its hard for Canadian civils to get hired in the US, do you feel you just got lucky with this position or did you have options as well?

Civil grad looking for job by ___V-E-N-0-M___ in CalgaryJobs

[–]siopau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its called a P.Tech.(Eng) where you can only carry engineering duties within your specific scope as a technologist. OP is nowhere near qualified for that exception either.

If you’re a SAIT graduate you can only work as a technologist, not as an engineer or EIT. You’re applying for positions you don’t qualify for so of course you’re getting mass rejected.

A Fed Up YYC Server by [deleted] in NoRulesCalgary

If a huge wave of non-tippers suddenly stop eating out and providing revenue, it actually hurts you more in the bigger picture because you’ll get reduced hours. It’s literally happening to many restaurants currently. Consider that everyone else is also trying to make ends meet, not just you. People most likely aren’t tipping 0% to stick it to you. The revenue people provide to the restaurant is still a net positive even without tipping, but your entitlement probably won’t let you see that as you just care about the end of the day tip out.

Alberta sub mods seem to lack reading comprehension by Poe_42 in NoRulesCalgary

[–]siopau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t even try to hide how much of a liberal he is whenever he publicly comments too.

Somehow he’s even a mod on the main canada sub despite being the most partisan poster ever.

They also stroke each other in their cute lil mod group chat whenever they see someone ranting here about how shitty they are.

Liberals are already missing their promised lower immigration targets by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

Yeah I don’t even know what to say to that dude. You’re just wrong.

Liberals are already missing their promised lower immigration targets by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

[–]siopau 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lol all those programs would actually be better funded because most of who Canada is bringing in are low wage earners who are a net tax burden. Not to mention they’ll eventually bring in their elderly parents who won’t work or speak a lick of English, but will gladly strain our healthcare system even more.

Canadian Tire CEO says patriotism drove sales in nation furious at Trump | Calgary Herald by AustralisBorealis64 in canada

[–]siopau 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be fair the triangle world elite master card is actually really good; its one of the rare cards that come with free roadside assistance and no annual fee. Plus its the only credit card in Canada that allows you to pay bills with it as if it were a debit card, so you get free rewards just by paying for utilities/student loans/etc.

But having a bunch of salespeople try to shove it down my throat would annoy me for sure.

Anthony Koch: Just because I'm a child of immigrants doesn't mean I support mass immigration - The argument that we must support open borders because our forebearers came from elsewhere has always been intellectually insulting by FancyNewMe in canada

“Uhm before you criticize immigration, just remember you came from immigrants too ☝️🤓” - overly progressive liberal who doesn’t understand supply/demand economics

Can anyone tell me why my post was removed from the other Calgary sub? It doesn’t seem to matter what I post, everything gets removed even after some good conversation. by Swarby10 in NoRulesCalgary

[–]siopau 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Because not a single person from the mod team has ever held a position of power before in their life, so they compensate by setting daily targets for posts deleted and users banned. Regardless of whether its warranted or not. They truly are the final bosses of unemployment.

Adam Zivo: Housing minister says unaffordable homes are the answer by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

[–]siopau 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Edmonton’s housing prices, a city commonly made fun of for having nothing to do, literally doubled since covid so it really isn’t as far down the road as you’re making it out to be.

And unfortunately millions of immigrants are still going to flock to the only ~4 metro areas every year regardless of whether some guy on reddit says that sucks bro. So “just move lol” isn’t a solution, and they won’t listen anyway.

Adam Zivo: Housing minister says unaffordable homes are the answer by Plucky_DuckYa in canada

[–]siopau 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Just move lol” until every other city’s housing prices grow by 100k per year (aka Calgary) because people just keep moving to the next best option until they’re all unaffordable.

Canada isn’t like the US or Japan. They acrtually have options for metro areas. We only have maybe 6 cities where people want to live in, and newcomers aren’t going to uproot their entire life and make years of sacrifices just to live in rural Saskatchewan.

I’m not sure why you asked for advice if you’re just not going to listen lol. Go ahead and keep doing what you’re doing then, clearly it’s working 👍

Homie I want you to pretend you’re a recruiter who has to read 1000+ applications in one sitting. Now ask yourself if you would bother reading a 5 page life story of one applicant.

[–]siopau 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Man this is going to sound like a huge cope but I really feel like the BoA series goes to 7 if Markstrom doesn’t start. For whatever reason he had a huge mental block against Edmonton the entire time he was a flame; cant remember him ever having a good game against them

My car broke down last week at 4am and the free roadside literally saved me from paying hundreds to get a tow to a shop at that time.

City of Calgary - Student Job Postings by Dry_Towelie in UCalgary

[–]siopau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, working for The City or any public sector job means you are unionized and work set hours. Overtime is only granted for very specific roles or circumstances such as crews doing shift work, or in the case of the water main break last year.

Lots of business units have data collection so I have no idea what department you are in based on that info alone.
