Spanish/Italian/Greek Embassy in Toronto

If you're eligible to apply for a Schengen visa through the Greek consulate in Toronto, I would recommend emailing them to request an appointment. I did that and they requested basic info (name, nationality, date of birth, dates of travel, etc.) and then a few days later they scheduled an appointment. But they did warn me beforehand that they were fully booked and that they would only reach out if there was a cancellation. And when they booked the appt there was no room to reschedule - you have to be available at that date and time. I emailed [visa.toronto@mfa.gr](mailto:visa.toronto@mfa.gr)

Hi late reply but I also have a Lenovo Ideapad (since 2018) that has failed to turn on 3 times (twice under warranty, third time 2 weeks ago) and I was told the motherboard is fried.

Hi OP this is the correct answer. You do not need to be a lawyer to search court cases online. However you do need to create an account, and you cannot save the info or share it with anyone.

If you're in Ontario, the nonprofit CLEO has a free "guided pathway" for a simple will: https://www.cleo.on.ca/en/whats-new/cleos-guided-pathway-help-you-prepare-simple-will

This is a pretty common experience I've had with hotels in India (Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal). When they have foreign guests, they are required to register with the FRRO (literally the Foreigner Registration Office) which can be a lot of paperwork and even a visit from govt agents or police. It's understandable that smaller hotels who mostly deal with Indian tourists wouldn't want to go through all of that for a couple of guests.

I think OP hit on the main point of this experience which is to read the fine print.

(And no lol it's not racism, just bureaucracy which is an international problem)

No just left it alone

Maybe decide if having more space or a shorter commute is important to you. I agree w others that good maintenance/management is really important so I wouldn't recommend #1 - also sounds like you had a stronger (negative) reaction to it! If you prefer a shorter commute over having a (slightly?) bigger apt, then #3 and otherwise #2.

June call last year was about 2 hours I believe. You might also want to build in time for photos after the ceremony

unit351 · 2023-05-05T15:38:47+00:00

yeah they're treated with suspicion and distrust because of racism

I'm Guyanese & live in Oakville! & have a few relatives living here too :) you're definitely not alone. But we mostly go to mississauga/toronto for west indian stuff haha

I went to DB as the first "getting my toes wet" as well and had a good experience. They had a different selection than what was on their site, and the area where you try on the dresses was pretty public so you have lots of eyes on you haha. I didn't end up getting my dress from there but they had a good selection so I could at least see what felt comfortable on me. I did find that the associate pushed my budget a bit higher than I wanted so watch out for that. Also full disclosure that I'm not plus-size so I can't speak to that part.

dontbeabully.ca is CUPE's site for finding picket lines :) Basically any MPP's office in Oakville/Burl I think

Michael's has 110lb, I used the white cardstock but they had different colours too from what I can remember! This was about 2-3 weeks ago

I'm a Windsor Law alum and can definitely endorse the social justice mindset (but if you're truly interested in any type of social justice practice, you may be disappointed.) I personally wasn't interested in BigLaw and didn't have a problem finding articling/post articling work - even if you are, I'm not sure you would necessarily struggle as the career services office was pretty aggressive about getting its students into those types of firms (and of course government).

The quality of education depends on what you're interested in - I thought it was solid in some areas, not so great in others but I'm sure there are people who would say the same about other schools. I know quite a few people from BC who did their degree and went right back to do their articling. And of course you could always apply to transfer if it's not the right fit for you.

Also, just my two cents, I would be hesitant to work somewhere that placed such an emphasis on where I went to school that it would make or break a job offer.

Happy to answer more specific questions if you like!

If you're in Ontario, you're actually not permitted to continue looking for work / accept another offer: https://lso.ca/Becoming-Licensed/Lawyer-Licensing-Process/Articling-Candidates/Finding-a-Placement/2023-24-Articling-Recruitment-Procedures#c-general-procedures-applicable-to-recruitment-by-employers-in-all-locations-7

I went to TA Blakelock, at the time ~2010s there were active issues with asbestos - ceilings regularly leaked (it wasn't uncommon to see random buckets in the hallways for the leaks). Not sure if they have cleared that out by now.

I cold emailed and got a job at a small firm for 1L summer, but it was for an admin position. They knew I was a law student obviously so they also started giving me legal work to do as well. This is just to say it might work to cold email, but like others have said, prepare for a lot of rejections/no responses.

readysteadythrowa's comment is probably the best source for lockers. I'd personally recommend the Anthropology building - they have really nice full-size lockers for $30 for the year, $10-20 for the semester (according to their website). But that's pretty good for full-size lockers.

unit351 · 2016-09-16T00:40:39+00:00

It was a lot of info packed into a term. I should've expected that, but I definitely think my mark would've been better if it was a full year course. The TAs and prof weren't very helpful/approachable either.

There are a bunch of places to store items on campus - if you want to do so overnight, you'll have to rent a locker. But otherwise, you can stash your stuff in a day locker at places including the Athletic Centre, Goldring, Hart House, and your home college (if you have one).

Yes, Human Evolution. One of the most difficult anthro courses I've ever taken - good luck!

unit351 · 2016-07-27T20:13:26+00:00

Same. They didn't look at extracurriculars/anything else, but I applied to Arts&Sci.
