Freeland and Trudoh need to go
LOL, all she did was dodge questions, and present worthless programs that have zero benefit on housing, I hate those types. The new minister offered plans to increase supply, lets see if it helps at all. Another point in all this, anti immigration politicians can't blame immigration for the bubble, since even with zero people entering during covid and deflation in several sectors, housing prices kept going up.

I studied German at school and it was a mess. The language has several illogical concepts which cannot be understood by foreigners, just learned by heart.

1) Genders. There are 3 genders: Masculine, Feminine, and Neutral. And only God knows what is what. For example: "boy" is masculine, but "girl" is neutral. WHY? No one can say for sure. Just learn it. In contrast to French, when 95% of words of the femenine gender end with -e, in German, there's no logic.

2) German declension (or cases). As you may know, there are 3 articles (der, die, das) for each gender + die for plural nouns. And there are 4 cases (Nominative, Genetive, Accusative, Dative). And each case changes an article and an ending of a noun. For example: "der König der Löwen" = The Lion King. Basically, König is masculine (der), but Löwen is the plulal of der Löwe. But the article for plural form of der Löwe is die Löwen. The usage of der in "der König der Löwen" means that the case is used. Without it, the phrase "der König die Löwen" means literally "the king the lions", which is a mistake, and a German person can ask WTF do you mean.
And such sh*t is everywhere, in every sentence. So, you have to learn a table of changing articles, where there are 3 main aforementioned articles plus 3 new additional. And the whole table has no logic to find and acknowledge. It looks like all articles have been randomly shuffled. Check it. I wanna kill myself when I see those tables.

3) The work order. In some situations, the usage of complex tenses forces a speaker to change the word order. For instance, in perfect tenses.
Ich habe Englisch studiert = I have English studied. The verb goes to the end of the sentence. It's pretty simple when a sentence is short, but in complex sentences the word order makes a lot of pain in da arse.

4) Complex nouns. The word "der Schreibtischdrehstuhl" contains 4 words: Schreib (to write) tisch (a table) dreh (to turn) stuhl (a stool). What do you think the whole word means? A stool with an attached turnable table. And Germans feel ok to create nouns containing 5-6-7-8 words.

5) Regional dialects. In contrast to English speaking countries, where a person from Australia can easily understand a person from Canada or the UK (the main difference is in pronunciation and slang), some German dialects differ gramatically. People of South/North Germany, Bayern, and Swiss could face some problems while communicating with each other. Immigrants who study Hochdeutch (the generalised dialect of German TV and education) are completely f*cked up.


Just my observations based on 8 years of hardship in school.
From the things you wrote I assume you are not Indian, I have studied German till A2 level one thing I can tell it has a lot of similarities with Indian languages like malayalam, Tamil,Hindi.....especially the sentence construction.
I agree with that 3 gender thing in german that was hard for me.

I have seen some outland pprs on kubeir's forum (pnp) I don't think atleast till today they are not planning to stop processing outland application and many experts say the variant is mild but spreads fast.if it is mild and if vaccines are effective I don't think they will again close border's.

True,similarly I don't understand this Faucci guy ,the strain was discovered 2 days ago,he might be a great scientist or virologist or what ever but 2 days is too early to talk about it.
Just plain commonsense. I don't know whether I am missing something.

From what I know if it becomes more infectious it will become less deadly so partly good news. IRCC could still use it as an excuse though.

It takes around 30 days from sending it in. Though it depends on the VO.

I have a query and I’d be really glad if someone who’s been in a similar situation can give me their suggestions.
Our original medical expired in January 2021 and after a lot of contemplation we decided to go for upfront medical in September 2021. Turned out to be a big mistake. We received a remedical request on 18 November 2021, and after raising countless webforms and getting our hospital to link our upfront meds to the new IME number, our meds have still not been updated. Our hospital also said we can’t do a new medical because our previous one is still valid. Some people suggested that we could go to another hospital and get it done, but we’re concerned what if it creates more problems due to duplicate medical results. We’ve been advised to wait by both the hospital and the IRCC agent I spoke to on the phone (both have said the IMEs will be merged eventually); however, this wait is excruciating and we only have till 18 December for our meds to be updated.

Does anyone advise going to another hospital for new meds if our old one is not updated within the next week or so?

I understand what you're going through because I too was in a similar situation a week back. Did upfront Meds in sept and then Ircc sent us a Med request in the month of oct. you may read the whole story here.

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/december-2019-aor-join-here.666708/post-9803784

However I consistently kept on prompting them with web forms every week and also requested the panel physicians to link the upfront medical reports with new requests. It took them nearly 2 months before my gc key account was updated with" Passed " status.

You've already taken the necessary steps informing IRCC about the situation. Just keep prompting them. Also, these days IRCC takes more than 6 to 8 weeks before updating the meds so you'll need to be patient because no matter what you do, you cant expedite the process. Hang in there , Your Meds will be updated in a few days. All the best.
