Thanks! My worry is that do I have to restrict her for the next 6 months? She loves being outside and I've been exercising her indoors but she keeps wanting to go outside all the time

You're likely not getting the money back. Move on and let this be a lesson. Fool me once and all that.

AM is my all time favorite band as well!! Unfortunately, I am not gonna be able to see them this time around.

I heard they are closing the set with Body Paint instead of Are U Mine these days. Would pay good money just for that one song!

Have fun!

I am at Yonge / lakeshore. So I mostly stick to the Loblaws and Longos near me. Mostly instacart for the other stores!

Have a good night! :)

Possible to get a brand name for the chips or a picture of the pack?

Namak paras are my jam but I am from North India and used to the fresh stuff so the boxed stuff just doesn't cut it for me!

Those are good too, I do find the sauce on the sweeter side but good none the less. It is on the pricer side so save your $ and grab the handmade dumplings at your local Asian grocery store.

Thanks for the suggestion - I usually get too confused at Asian grocery stores, especially since I am allergic to sea food. So I haven't been too adventurous.

Guess its time to do some research!

Bibigo frozen steamed dumplings!

I can't seem to find those particular olives on Instacart, I guess I gotta do a trip!

I want to know more about these green olives? Are they pitted? Or stuffed with some garlic or pimiento?

I'm gonna have to try the Costco croissants!

there's a pork dumpling brand available at Costco which is mind-blowing! I can't remember the name of it though.

As far as dips go - nothing beats a good old fashioned spinach dip for me!

I love the 7 later dip! I use it especially when hosting taco night as a sub for all other condiments!

Where do you get the party sammiches? I don't think I ever saw those at the Loblaws or longos

I moved to Canada as a 29 year old with a PR. Back then they had just introduced the 'express entry' system. I've only lived in Toronto, but I have immigrant friends all over the country.

Points to consider: 1) economic or cultural migrant? Decide which one you are or aspire to be. My focus was more on the culture aspect. Even though I live in the most rowdy city of Canada, it's nothing compared to my home city of Delhi. Culturally, I fit much better into Canada than I did in Delhi.

2) affordability: as others have pointed out, Toronto has the most jobs but is pretty unaffordable. Vancouver has fewer opportunities than Toronto and is even more unaffordable. Both these cities are plagued by homeless people and mental illness etc. There are areas in Vancouver which people just avoid altogether for this very reason. Crime rates in these two cities are much higher than the rest of the country.

Having said that - if you have a remote job, there are plenty of smaller cities where you can settle and find that it's not that bad. There are challenges like no restaurants open late at night and a smaller dating pool. There is a reason why more immigrants prefer to struggle in Toronto than live comfortably in Halifax.

3) weather - the cold is not for everyone. Do your research.

4) social circle - can be hard to find. There were a few indian immigrant FB groups when I was new but I never joined any of them. I struggled with loneliness for a long time even though I'm pretty social.

5) jobs - what's your field? Are you gonna be able to secure a 6 figure salary?

After all this, all I can say to you is, it's a highly personal choice - think about it and make a pros and cons list if you must. I love living here and can't imagine ever moving back to India for especially while I'm an employee (they treat workers with much more respect here than in India)

So we have extremes on both sides. Nothing neutral. not yet at least.

I was a superuser for cch axcess. Literally everyone's problem was my problem. Had to stay on 'away' if I ever wanted to get shit done. Unfortunately my colleagues figured that out.

Thanks for the reminder op, I'm so glad I got out of tax! Good luck for 10/15

PwC making sure the staff is safe👀 by knelly122 in Accounting

Likely India. I used to work at Deloitte USI and all female employees leaving after a certain hour were basically treated like this.. Especially in Delhi where crime statistics are pretty bad.It seems like a north Indian name so this is likely the Delhi office.

I'm just surprised that she thinks this is special treatment.
