this statement means in simple english that the person "I" is going to check with OP's local CHC. In north america this means to suggest someone to check with local CHC "itstime" is a pretentious judgmental jackass who think everyone understands north american vernacular. OP got confused as he is not from north America and in straight forward english he thought itstime was helping out.
Actually, "would" is not a firm "should". When you see "would" you should think there is an unspoken underlying "maybe" or "probably" attached.
I did make the error of not writing out the full sentence, which I mentioned in my followup post. However, it's a simple very common idiom that is not North American specific. You will find it in the general english language (be it British, South African, Australian, Canadian, American, etc) and exist in most languages.
I tend to agree with vipsv that life in Canada is hard. I see a lot of people on here who think that a lower margin IELTS score (or below) and under 60% in grades is going to get them a life in Canada. They are sadly mistaken as they are setting themselves up for a massive failure and disappointment.
My mistake in this thread was that I didn't write out the full sentence. lucasp's mistake was taking for granted that I, sitting in Canada, was going to call his local CHC in India and enquire if what he had heard was true. Really?
Unclesamy's mistake is not reading my signature, which is found at the bottom of each of my posts, and calling me a jackass, which is a male gender specific word. Unclesamy has basically assumed my gender and as my signature line says: if you assume incorrectly it only makes an ass out of U not me.
lucasp, I hope you got your answer from CHC and now know have what you heard either confirmed or denied.
