yes
Just renewed mine yesterday (well, Friday). You go in to Service Canada, if you have the form and the photos (go to any Shoppers) filled out - you let them know why you're there - wait to be called, go over the form, pay, sign off and leave.
They opened it up. Now the referral just needs to be someone with an active passport. Also make sure you renew before your passport is 1 year expired so you can use a simple renewal form. Otherwise, you have to start from step 1 as if you never had one to begin with and fill out the original large form with extra referencesI think the first time you need refrerals from a teacher, lawyer, dentist, doctor, or notary. Some sort of "educated" type.
I had a conversation about this with a "privileged" co-worker. I said I don't have any friends or family members that are any of these, never met a lawyer.
She goes and says "everyone needs a lawyer'
I was left scratching my head. Who the fuck are these people who are acquainted with lawyers?
It was fairly easy. It took almost a week before I got my passport.
Does transferring between two RRSP accounts (from investment to savings or vice versa) within the same bank will affect my contribution limit? This is pretty much like transferring your RRSP account to another bank but without paying anything.
I think the answer is no but just want to make sure it is correct.
And is it consider as withdrawal? No?
It's a transfer as far as I know. So long as you don't cash it and it stays in RRSPs it doesn't change anything.
Alright. Thank you for the feedback.Nah I think you are fine. Withdrawal with a RRSP is not really allowed anyway unless it's to buy a first house or a go back to school project. Transferring from one RRSP account to another is fine since you respected your yearly contribution limit when you invested in those. Merging or transferring doesn't count to your yearly limit as it's not new money you invest in there in regards to taxes. It would be different if you went from a TFSA to a RRSP though.
Whatever happened to the yellow line extension going all the way to the Cégep Édouard-Montpetit in Longueuil, hmm? *pouts*
Yah, ever since the Liberals won the election, transportation projects seem to get the green light. No waffling around. I look forward to the LRT in Ottawa and Phase 2 to complete by 2022. In addition we get a new national lab in Ottawa!
Yeah, wouldn't want to "distract from their economic record".kenney and the ucp will abstain from voting on the ab ndp's abortion clinic safe zone law.

I have to imagine, even in Alberta, abortion is as thermonuclear as every where else, this is just a bad attempt to save face with social cons
Absolutely correct. Once upon a time I was optimistic that so-cons would eventually all be dead of old age. Unfortunately, some young people seem happy to take up that mantle for some bizarre reason.I have to imagine, even in Alberta, abortion is as thermonuclear as every where else, this is just a bad attempt to save face with social cons
sorry to change the topic, but I feel like talking about something fun: INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
After dicking over 30 years about the extension of Montreal Metro's Blue Line.
It's happening on all three levels of government. to be completed by 2026.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-metro-blue-line-extension-1.4610972
...
For now, Quebec is devoting $346 million to study the project, while Ottawa is putting forward $16 million.
The total cost of the extension is pegged at $3.9 billion. There were no specifics on how that would be covered.
Trudeau said the federal government will put money toward the extension in the second phase of its infrastructure plan.
...
it's natural to be skeptic, they've been dicking about extending the Blue Line for over 30 years+Boy yeah I feel total confidence in this project as a done deal lol. I'm ultra cynical and have seen so many BC public transit projects be delayed for political reasons, so I'd only start celebrating when shovels are in the ground. Does the CAQ support this project too?
Maybe yeah. I just remember hearing about that when I was in the Cégep myself, and that was almost two decades ago... lol
the CAQ's lack of policy on anything Montreal or Island of Montreal is pretty telling.I can't find anything recent about the CAQ and the Blue Line so I'll just assume they'll scrap it. And the PQ wants to scrap the REM. In the end, maybe nothing gets done.
the CAQ's lack of policy on anything Montreal or Island of Montreal is pretty telling.
Most of his shitty votes come from suburbia
hahahahahaha sad but true.As a suburbanite, I can tell you that the only policy that matter is if Sandeep, Quebec's lone sikh policeman, should be able to wear his turban.
La CAQ domine toujours avec 34% des intentions de vote, mais elle a perdu trois points de pourcentage depuis le dernier sondage Léger en mars, tandis que les libéraux de Philippe Couillard en ont gagné trois et sont maintenant à 29% des intentions de vote. Il s'agit de chiffres après répartition des indécis.
In his chapter, Mr. Bernier claims the number of Conservative members in Quebec rose during the final months of the campaign from 6,000 to more than 16,000, but has since dwindled back down to 6,000 – suggesting those who bought memberships did not renew their ties to the party after voting.
"Andrew, along with several other candidates, was then busy touring Quebec's agricultural belt, including my own riding of Beauce, to pick up support from these fake Conservatives, only interested in blocking my candidacy and protecting their privileges," Mr. Bernier writes.
After last year's leadership vote, Mr. Bernier said he told Mr. Scheer that he would keep quiet on the issue of supply management, adding he had "no legitimacy" to question the party's democratic decision to choose Mr. Scheer as leader.
"But I will never again say the opposite of what I believe in and pretend this is a good system just for the sake of party unity," Mr. Bernier writes. "A substantial portion of the party is behind me on this. And the next time an opportunity presents itself to debate it, I will resume my fight."
letthemfight.gif An infighting Conservative party is good in my books since they won't work with the other parties on anythingSpeaking of zany Quebec politicians...MP Maxime Bernier says Scheer won Tory leadership thanks to 'fake Conservatives':
And, this being Maxime, he can't help but talk about supply management:
The fact the book isn't out until November -- less than a year before the next election -- makes it pretty obvious that he's not only banking on Scheer falling apart, he's doing what he can to expedite the process. It's pretty...something.
