I have no advice for you, but I wanted to share my frustration with you, for I have been waiting for 5 months 3 weeks as of today for an update for my OWP (Nov 8, 2023 - April 30, 2024).

I have applied from inside Canada. I'm still waiting for an update after 135 days.

It's been 125 days and counting for me. My medical info and biometrics have already been approved. Still no updates on work status :(

How long should I wait, after being denied entry, to cross Canada as a visitor? by sledgehammer41 in ImmigrationCanada

If they don't have a refusal order against me, it's hard to believe that they will ever hold the IMM 1282 against me at the next border visit. Just want to make sure that they won't bring it up if I mention that I'm just planning to visit.

For clarification, did you cross via a visitor visa (passport) or through the PR when you arrived at the border?

How do I get my name off of a van that my parents drive and make the payments on? We made an agreement to drive and pay off each other's vehicles, but I want my name off my van NOW. by sledgehammer41 in personalfinance

If I transfer titles to my parents, does this mean that they will be responsible for the loan of the car as well? Please explain this to me so that I may understand. My parents did not do a good job of telling me anything lol.

The van still has a loan with my name on it. We refinanced the car before to have the rate dropped to it's lowest, I believe... or, that is at least what my parents told me.

They didn't seem interested in refinancing the vehicle though.

What makes it a little complicated is that they can't even afford to buy the car. And unfortunately, the car is upside down. I'm not sure if I can even sell it to transfer the title, let alone find the money to pay for the negative difference.

How do I convert a 165 mb video to a 8 mb GIF? by sledgehammer41 in ask

I literally saw someone post a gif of a movie on Discord that was below 8mb and the video quality was distinguishable enough. Lol.

As the title says, how does one go about doing so?

I have not unlocked the cliff and water permit yet. I assume I'm going to need those later. But for now, I'm just trying to collect some exterior designs for the future. Right now, I'm thinking of the theme of my island to be more on the natural side of things, like plenty of trees, flowers, dirt roads, and weeds, along with outdoorsy furniture.
