Hello!

Asking for friend, for her PR card digital photo upload, there is only one slot to add the digital copy of her photo. For the other details like receipt and studio names etc details document, how should we upload those ?

Create a single PDF with all three (digital photo, receipt and word document) ? Please let us know if anyone has done this process recently.

You don't need all of that. Just upload the front of the digital photo.
The stamp will come in after PPR when you submit your passport for stamping.

Maybe because this has largely been an off-topic thread.

They mess it up for the rest of us too. These days, you can't even open up anything related to India on Canadian YouTube, Twitter or Instagram without Canadians saying the most atrocious racist stuff imaginable. You work hard, you learn a new language to get your scores up and then some pendus ruin your reputation even before you land in the country.

My point exactly. Because of guys like these, everyone has to suffer. Also abusing food banks is the worst thing that you can do as a foreign guest in another country.

Be careful. You will see folks on this forum jumping at your throat for pointing this out! Apparently, Indians are the saints of the world and can do no harm or crime and aren’t racist. You will be accused of being a “self-hating Indian” for actually pointing stuff like this out and calling out hypocrisy. What do you think is going to happen because of scumbags like him? The country will take a hard swing towards the right for immigration. It’s already happening and the sentiment is going to get worse. Pierre is going to take further measures against temporary workers and international students.

It depends upon purpose of food bank. Those in university is for students. Most of time stuff over there is just couple of days to weeks from being expired. We used to get stuff from my wife's university's food bank too. After the hoopla over students taking food from food bank, we stopped. Most times they just throw the food that does not gets consumed. A lot of perishables (like vegetables, bread, ready to eat meals) get thrown away to dumps because no one will take it. University food banks are not usually open to general public and are run by student organizations. Most of this stuff is actually unsold inventory from grocery markets.

Most bakeries / Delis open till a set time in evening. The left over is donated. Mostly to food banks and soup kitchens. Some just throw that in dump because they do not want to get into any legal entanglement on quality of food items.

If the food bank is for students then you are not really doing anything wrong by getting food from there as a student. The entire hoopla was people confusing which food banks student were taking food from. Even local students take food items from food banks.

Here is what my wife's univ food bank says about itself : https://www.uvic.ca/sustainability/topics/waste/free-store/index.php

UVic's Free Store and Food Bank is located in the basement of the SUB Building (Room B007). The Free Store and Food Bank is run by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers, and offers all UVic campus members access to food essentials and free household items.

The initiative provides some financial relief for UVic's community members while encouraging further diversion of functional items from going to the landfill.

The store is open to students, faculty and staff, and gladly accepts donations during regular hours. Not everything is accepted at the Free Store, so make sure to check their website for details.

1. Food bank is exclusive to student, faculty and staff. Meaning not only students but also paid staff of university and teachers as well can also take stuff from it. And yeah professors in University are paid more than 100K per year.
2. Food bank protects "functional items" (meaning food stuff with very little expiry time left) from landfill.

This hoopla is actually very stupid and should be pushed back against because it wastes food and that goes into landfill. There are some folks from India too who for some weird reason have taken an absolute liking of CH2 propaganda. Ultimately all of this hoopla is mindless propaganda targetting Indians.

I think what pisses people off is the fact when students present it as a cost saving measure. That being said, it gives racists a lot of reasons to hate us even more.

Well students are NOT lying when they say it is a cost saving measure. The official position or purpose of food banks is to be a cost saving mechanism!

The initiative provides some financial relief for UVic's community members while encouraging further diversion of functional items from going to the landfill.

It is open to not only students but also to other staff and faculty in universities.

The CH2 membership is being a hypocrite about this.

As far as racist hating us goes, racist will hate you no matter what you do because they hate what you are. They hate that you are a brown guy in a white country. There is no working around that. Its that simple.

And then there is this time tested observation even in movies too : During downturns people always blame poor people and immigrants. Its nothing new.

I saw somewhere that EE general draws will account for only 25% of all EE ITAs that will be issued this year. Safe to expect that 529 CRS or more will stick around.

Looks fake as hell.

"TD Customer Cares Manager"... Sounds weird as hell...

Besides, this will come under wrongful termination and will cost employer dearly.

Apparently it was done for Karma farming on reddit.
