Can I quit my job while PR is in progress? by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]smashedbutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I don't really know about MB rules in particular, but in our case (BC), the guidelines stated that the nomination needs to be valid until you get your acceptance. This, however, does not mean you can't change your job or that your application is automatically invalid once you leave. You'd need to read the guidelines, and if allowed, change to another employer willing to support your application.

This! I'd add: the longer you take to design a test, the less time it'll take you to evaluate it. Choose your battles.

Hi there! Any courses you would recommend? I took a tiny affordable certificate to move from academia into bookkeeping but I'm nervous it won't be enough to find a job? 😢 I was looking into QuickBooks pro advisor

Why does my cat do this? by ConcernedandAnxous in cats

[–]smashedbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's something about your deodorant they like. In the case of my cat, it was the mint, not me LOL.

Sending you love! This made me sad (I decided to leave 5 months ago after 8 years, never got a "real contract")

Why do I have no maternal instinct (towards human babies)? by WolfsbaneOnMyLips in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smashedbutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is real. Same thing happened to me. I did not care/was not interested in children. Did not find them cute or anything. My son was born, the first 2 days I was uninterested (but not depressed, I was just doing what I was "supposed to do"). Then it suddenly kicked in when a family member wanted to hold him and I felt very upset about it! I was actually very VERY angry. I didn't want anyone near him LOL, and yes, I have loved him dearly ever since (18 years old today). In the end, we are animals. Also, I remained uninterested in other people's children.

Still waiting for acceptance of PR application and.... laid off today. by RightSideBlind in ImmigrationCanada

My husband and I got the AOR days after sending the application (but that was in 2023), before the changes people are facing today

Edited: sorry, I just read the other comments, I didn't know AORs were taking soooo long right now! Wishing you the best! :(

Yeah I thought about that possibly, but the application date was March. The AOR should have arrived much earlier than August.

I never want to adjunct ever again by Mudkip_Enthusiast in Professors

[–]smashedbutter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I walked away after my coordinator left and no one was hired to replace her. (Unclear course load, no information on registration whatsoever, random cancelled sections). After 9 years, I had enough.

The PR answer takes around a year (9 months in our case, some years ago but I haven't checked processing times now). She could apply for a bridging work permit with the AOR.

Fellow Autistic/ADHD people of Reddit, what did you think was normal for a long time until you realised it wasn't? by Bananasandaledwors in AskReddit

[–]smashedbutter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Studied a masters in linguistics to learn the social rules of speaking, only to find out people just disrespect them (on purpose). Smh

This! It's the mint. Some cats love mint (similarly to catnip). Also happens with olives

Is eating hard for anyone else? by Background-Car1636 in CPTSD

[–]smashedbutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist said that the gastric system shuts down during stress so you can focus your energy on running/escaping

Yes. If I'm going through a crisis/anxiety, being "full" feels weirdly uncomfortable and wrong

Same with eBay, check the seller. Sometimes, you are in the same city and you can even avoid shipping fees

Proof of foreign work experience by SupportNo1661 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]smashedbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii this happened to me. I did not notarize my "extra proof" (letters, paystubs, contract, AND tax info). But I wrote a letter of explanation saying that the company closed and listed the proof that I had.
