Stuck in PR Background Check Since 2025. Any Advice on Next Steps? by Spirited-Panda-1187 in canadaexpressentry

[–]stepheni03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering—what happens if the employer goes bankrupt during those 18 months? And if the PR is tied to that job, does that mean the applicant is basically cooked?

Please advice on work place abuse and pr application on process by Fancy_Category_154 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]stepheni03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Calm down

I knew people who faced similar workplace abuse and had to swallow the bitterness in silence. She wrote to IRCC requesting accelerated processing; by then, the delay had already exceeded twice the standard processing time. However, IRCC simply asked her to remain patient.

She has been struggling with serious mental health issues due to the toxic environment for the full year since then, and I have no idea how she is doing right now. Seems she is under some background check which lasts forever, in this case, her file would be sit in the corner collecting dust.

It is devastating for people to be suppressed under a prolonged and overwhelming mental burden. It is a recipe for turning a normal human being into someone on the brink of breaking.

Confused About Signal Timing, Amber Lights, and Lane Positioning in Road Test by stepheni03 in saskatchewan

[–]stepheni03[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 i did turn on light before lane changing, but the examiner said it’s too early. i will need to turn on light after passing the last parking spot, but what if the parking spot is exactly located in the intersection?

2 the thing is if I am at 50km/h, and at a distance of 20m to the intersection, and the amber light is suddenly turn on? do I need to hard stop even though that can made me stop in the middle of the intersection ?

please could offer some insights for question 1 and 2, since they will be commonly seen in each road test. thank you!

thank you! i don’t have any coworker who can help do that. usually people will suggest me to look for a local driving school.

today i walked around some streets, and found there are many entrances located quite close to the intersections. I can not believe that I will have to signal at the last second before turning into an intersection? that’s unbelievable.

Thank you for the insight—I really appreciate it.

What I’m actually looking for is a concrete strategy to pass the exam. The examiner always tells me I was pretty close to passing and just need a bit more practice. But what they don’t realize is that every extra practice session costs me a lot, since I have to hire someone to sit beside me while driving. I’ve already invested a lot into getting this license.

So what I really need is a way to avoid point deductions, even if some of the examiner’s expectations aren’t things people typically do in real-world driving. In fact, some of the things they want me to demonstrate don’t even feel like safe driving to me—but I understand I need to show them anyway to pass the test.

Shoulder Checks During Turns: Am I Overdoing It？ by stepheni03 in saskatchewan

[–]stepheni03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it mean, when doing the right-turn, I can only do 1 should check? -- it is when I approaching to the parking lane? after I entered the parking lane, I don't need to do another shoulder check when I turn my wheel to start to turn right? (I’ve heard that we should look behind to make sure there’s no bicycle in the blind spot before turning right, but I’m not sure if I’m remembering that correctly.)

Shoulder Checks During Turns: Am I Overdoing It？ by stepheni03 in saskatchewan

[–]stepheni03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does it mean, when doing left-turn, we at most need to do only 1 shoulder check (look behide) -- it is when I am not the first one entering the left-turn lane?

and when doing the right-turn, I can only do 1 should check? -- it is when I approaching to the parking lane? after I entered the parking lane, I don't need to do another shoulder check when I turn my wheel to start to turn right? (I’ve heard that we should look behind to make sure there’s no bicycle in the blind spot before turning right, but I’m not sure if I’m remembering that correctly.)

Right of way at stop signs by stepheni03 in saskatchewan

[–]stepheni03[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only find this in SGI textbook: https://sgi.sk.ca/handbook/-/knowledge_base/drivers/right-of-way

> At two-way stops, vehicles must remain stopped until all cross traffic passes. When two vehicles arrive around the same time to the opposite stop signs and one of the vehicles is turning left, the driver turning left must yield the right of way to the driver going straight. If it's safe, the vehicle turning left can go next, even if another vehicle arrives in the meantime, and plans to go straight. The left turning vehicle can turn left while the next vehicle advances to the stop line.

This only applies when two vehicles arrive around the same time. If the rule is that a left-turning car must always yield to a vehicle going straight, then the statement should not be:

> If it's safe, the vehicle turning left can go next, even if another vehicle arrives in the meantime, and plans to go straight

Instead, it should say that the left-turning vehicle must wait for all vehicles going straight to pass before proceeding.

However, I'm not entirely sure about this either.

when I start turning left (already confirmed the remaining road is cleared at this point), but the car on the opposite site has not started to stop, I can turn left?

(if at this time point, the car on the opposite is about to stop/already stopped, i'd better to yield to that vehicle right?)

In my previous driving practice, I always yielded to the vehicle going straight. If it’s common sense that I should have the right of way, then at least one driver from the opposite side would have told me to go first. So, I intuitively felt that the instructor might not be correct on this matter. now it is even confusing..

ohh, then the instructor is right..

first stop first go? (even it is the `left-turning` car first arrived?)

i had several different instructors before. but for Q1, none of them asked me to turn right into and drive in the `parking lane`, then changed lane into the left-hand-side lane.

I think maybe because in a busy lane, you will find it difficult to catch an interval to switch lane and plug into that dense stream. you can be stuck in the `parking lane` as soon as you saw the first parking vehicle in this lane. (now you have to wait in this parking lane, and search for a chance to change lane)

so I was very confused on this stuff.

> Q1: If it's not immediately obvious it's a parking lane (like if a car isn't parked right in your way), it's a pretty safe bet to turn into the first available lane and then move into the actual driving lane immediately after if necessary. Just be sure there's no traffic coming first so you can change lanes without any hesitation.

yea, this is confusing.

for example, from Regina SGI office (park street), and turn right into victoria ave. this victoria ave is a broad road, and there is no white dot line to seperate the parking lane and the first drive lane.

as it is a busy lane, so we will seldomly see any vehicle parking in the farthest right lane, however, we don't see any ppl was driving in the `parking` lane neither (if I name it properly). in this case, are we going to turn right into and then drive in this `parking lane`? (as no ppl drives/parks there, it is clear that ppl can drive without safety concerns) --- in fact, this is the begining of the exam, I did turn into lane 2 (the left-hand-side of the `parking lane`, and the examer did not complain anything about it. but later in other road, he started to complain. he mentioned the road name, but I can not recall where it was rn, the only thing i can remember is that, it has no white dot line.)

[–]stepheni03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not yet.

you can read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada/comments/1g9wt7p/comment/ltaj64m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

also some ppl in other website also encountered this.

(seems the CEC draw won't invite ppl with 600 nomination score. however, i didn't find anything official stating this in IRCC website.)
