    First real snowfall of the season here in Toronto and traffic has come to a halt. Let's see if I can tolerate the next 4 months :/

    You can give any address where you can collect the mail. When you give a friend's or relative's address, you're essentially claiming that you're living there. You cannot settle in Quebec as FSW. So, no, you shouldn't be giving a Quebec address.

    You don't need proof of address if you do a walk-in. I hard landed but had no permanent address, so I did a walk-in.

    Update on this: After 3 months since this communication, I finally received my card a couple of weeks ago. I even filled in an application for a replacement but the original one arrived so late. I phoned them to cancel the replacement and all is good now.

    It's Wednesday, my dudes! Surprised to see so many old timers still active here! How're things going, folks?

    Call them to confirm their mistake. Decided that collecting it from the lawyer is the best solution considering how the IRCC operates.

    Normally, when I search for a suburb/locality on YouTube, it'll be full of real estate brokers or lifestyle bloggers or happening events. For Brampton, it's like the Canadian version of Florida Man.

    Fax + Webform. Guess I'll have to call them tomorrow to figure out what the hell they did.

    2 months + since landing. But I have them my address just 3 weeks ago. Yeah, they replied to the webform.

    Just when I thought the IRCC couldn't screw up any more.... They sent me a mail saying that they just sent my PR card to my lawyer (my work permit lawyer who has nothing to do with PR). I clearly asked those fools via webform/fax to send it to my home address which I mentioned. How can a federal...

    Yeah, it feels like it's trending that way too - becoming America lite. Twitter here is full of American news - whether it's celebrities, sports, roe v Wade, Trump. Even the accents of millennial and younger Canadians sound very American and not much Canadian. I honestly don't feel like I left...

    Bro, which state are you in? I got spoiled by Seattle's excellent medicare services. Never had to wait for more than a couple of weeks for an appointment - general or specialist.

    True. Though it greatly benefitted me, there is not much correlation between CRS score and employability. NOC based draws will fix it to a certain extent but letting employers be a part of the process would be the most significant step. This should include encouraging employers to hire from...

    True. All of these are fixable. The Canadian govt is under the control of vested interests at a level that simply doesn't happen in the States. Big institutions like banks and telecoms are regulated so much that the barrier for entry is too much and these companies like that status quo. So, no...
