Construction workers is the most heard LMIA path being abused since the truck driver option has been closed. It is soo easy to get an LMIA approved I saw one person getting 2 LMIA approved for 2 different companies (both shell companies, so i believe no bg chack done) . And workers doesn't even need LMIA as these jobs are in high demand and we have a shortage. Employers hire anyone from their home country who can afford to pay them CAF 20k (transaction happens in home country) and bring them to Canada. And provide them fake paystubs and any documents needed for PR application (i believe, again coz its an in demand stream, PR pathway is easy compared to the rest of the STEM category)
I also came across F&B managers who are here on LMIA.. so basically... aren't there any CANADIANS with skills enough to be a F&B manager in fast food chains like pizza hut ?
Now that PGWP extension is stopped, these employers are openly out there demanding money in return offering LMIA and supporting docs for PR
I'm trying to decide between donating a bunch of my stuff, downsizing, and just getting a smallerish U-Haul OR hiring a moving service. And while U-Haul makes it easy to get an estimate on costs, I'm struggling to find any helpful estimates online for the cost of hiring a moving service to help me travel ~3,500km.
Does anyone have any experience with a cross-country move like this or have any insights into how I can start to estimate the cost? If it helps, I'm leaning towards the 4.5m U-Haul truck and would likely use about the same with a moving service.
Thank you so much in advance for any help :)

I’m gonna have to go with Tim Hortons. There are more options
As I go older I have come to the realization all my friends that grew up with money, had help from their parents financially into their adult years, paid education, vehicle from their parent ect all vote Liberal or NDP. The ones that struggled, and worked hard to no struggle vote Conservative.
Thoughts? Observations?
I have been thinking about something lately regarding our accents as Canadians, specifically Ontario. When watching documentaries from the mid 90s and older, I can hear a distinct accent, like it has a twinge of an east coast vibe, but nowadays I can’t hear it at all. But if you talk to someone from the East Coast, you can still hear their accent nowadays, especially with older people. Same thing with people in Alberta. Am I going crazy? I swear even my babysitter growing up had that “Ontario accent” that I don’t hear anymore. Has anyone else noticed this?
I’m tired of people being willfully ignorant about Canadian politics. I have a pretty basic way of explaining the levels of government responsibility to people.
If you walk outside your door or into your town/city and something’s wrong, it’s municipal. So, that includes garbage collection, road maintenance, (to an extent) emergency services, water, parks, etc. [yes, I know that the RCMP, OPP, SQ, RNC exist and that some paramedic services are provincial]
If you go from town to town, hospital , school and there’s problems, it’s provincial/territorial. So that’s including policing [the above mentioned police services], snow removal and road/bridge maintenance, services like water, heating and electricity [yes, there is some overlap with municipalities]. It also includes healthcare [including paramedics, especially in BC], education [at all levels], housing, infrastructure such as roads, transit, and more. Anything that happens inside the province/territory IS the responsibility of that government. Including municipal authority, which is granted by the provinces. “Cities are creatures of the province,” is the adage.
Now, if it affects you indirectly or if you travel, then it’s federal. Need to travel outside the country? Federal. Import/export? Federal. National parks? Federal. Things that don’t affect the majority of Canadians directly? Federal.
Obviously this does not apply to First Nations persons, military/RCMP personnel, federal prisoners.
So, before you start believing everything that politicians-friends/family/people on the street say, know who’s actually responsible. Then ask them, why do you think this certain person is at fault?
I'm looking for a reasonably priced, signed Margaret Atwood book for my partner's birthday. She's a HUGE fan. Title doesn't matter, as long as it's a genuine signature, not a stamp. I've looked on eBay and everything I'm finding is either really expensive, shipped from another country, or the signature is a stamp or sticker.
Anyone have any idea where I could find such an item besides eBay?
