Thank you to this forum

I wasn't sure where to put this thread, I hope this is OK! Today my husband and I became Canadian citizens. It's been a long road, from first coming to this forum back in 2008. This place was my main...

Re: Oath ceremony - in person or online?

Thanks!
In typical fashion, after coming and asking questions, we got an email yesterday inviting us for our citizenship ceremony! Virtual. I'm a little sad, as I have been looking forward to the...

Re: Oath ceremony - in person or online?

Thanks Bucks_Family . Out of interest can you remember how long it took from completing all the stages of the application to getting contacted to make an appointment? That's where we're at just...

Re: Oath ceremony - in person or online?

Thanks. It's not that we're in a rush, it's just we've got through the slow part much quicker than expected and I'd love to tick that last box soon!

Oath ceremony - in person or online?

We've moved through the citizenship application process very quickly and we're at the last hurdle; waiting to be scheduled for an oath ceremony. We'd really love an in-person event, but have no idea...

Re: Citizenship application online - passport info

Thanks! I know they're creating this system for people from every country in the world, but it's funny how there's always something that doesn't quite make sense - and I get neurotic about getting...

Re: Mosquitoes

Thanks everyone :-) We have a Mosquito Magnet (which is propane powered) which does a reasonable job but can't handle them all. I think you're right about dealing with the swampy areas... that's...

Re: Negotiating credit card interest rate - possible?

Yeah I mean that makes sense, it's just that every website and financial book out there says to phone to negotiate, and that most banks will move, even if just a little. It's depressing! So yes, I'm...

Negotiating credit card interest rate - possible?

I've decided 2019 is going to be the year I get a handle on our finances, which are not where I'd like them to be (putting in mildly!). I've read in a few books and websites that the first thing you...

Re: Online TV-watching options - help!

Yeah thanks for the info about the TV. I suspect we might just bite the bullet and get a 720p TV, probably a 32", and see how we get on. If it's really bad I'll be more motivated to sort out more...

Re: Online TV-watching options - help!

Online TV-watching options - help!

Where to start. I live in somewhat rural Nova Scotia, and have cable TV. Unfortunately, most of the channels we get are SD (probably 70% of them). This isn't currently a problem because we still have...

Re: Moving to New Glasgow, NS?

I'd definitely recommend the Annapolis Valley (which is where we live :-) ) including Wolfville, Kentville and all the surrounding areas. We love it here. The wintery pictured is Lucketts, it's owned...

Re: Going back to university - scholarships?

I should have mentioned, we're self-employed. This makes finding the time to do the courses much easier, but raising funds harder!

Re: Weather/Climate in Nova Scotia

In that case I should warn you, it can definitely be higher than mid-20s. I'm not 100% sure about the South Shore area, but certainly here in the Valley we have quite a few summer days that are in...
