I don't have any useful information to give but I too will be interested to see any replies to this thread as our PR cards will expire during the process of applying for citizenship. ;)

Re: Baby Formula - best Canadian equivalent to Aptamil

We used Enfamil A+. Our son was in NICU for the first week and that's what the nurses used to feed him while he was there so I carried on using it when we brought him home.

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Almost Canadian - one (last) question - should I advise my lawyer that I am pursuing a complaint through the Law Society and considering civil action or should I just cease any contact with him now?

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Right - I've just checked the RPR and it has a Surveyors Stamp on it but from reading the PRP it talks only about compliance in relation to being within our boundaries. No where does it state that...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Ok - this is where I'm a bit confused. The City sent a letter to the vendors solicitor stating that the deck was permissible under the bylaw use regs but not with the Safety Codes Act. This letter...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

I am but a simple layman too! I'll probably be chewed up and spat out by the Law Society but I feel I've got to give it a go! That's one of the reasons I was asking for advice in the first place,...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Thanks Alan2005 - this is my take on it. Surprisingly my lawyer hasn't called us back since Thursday when he was going to get our file out of storage. I'm sure we won't hear from him at all as he...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

But that was my first question - who is responsible for ensuring that the permit is complied with. The lawyer held back money waiting on the permit. Should my lawyer have made sure that is was...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Hi - we didn't know the deck was 'dodgy' - we knew it didn't have a permit that is why funds were held back by the lawyer.

We did have the house (including deck) inspected by a qualified inspector...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Thanks Almost Canadian for your honest advice - we wouldn't be able to pay the $$$$ legal fees for another lawyer to pursue this. I get that it is only $3k to replace the deck but it's $3k that we...

Re: House-buyer beware? Legal advice sought

Thank you everyone for the advice.

I should also add that it appears it was the vendors solicitor who held back some funds until the permit was pulled, not our solicitor.
