Would switching from a Humanities visa to a dependant visa (both foreigners) hurt my chances of getting PR? Currently on year 8/10.
I’m a little confused about the pension lump-sum withdrawal.
It has a clause about “totalization of coverage periods”.
If one had worked in Canada for 9 years and worked in Japan for 2, that would put them at 136 months of “pension totalization”, I think.

I *think* this is only applicable if one already totalized the pension, right? If they apply for the pension refund, they can no longer use that period towards the pension when they do retire. Is my understanding correct?
Currently living here on a working holiday visa but also job hunting for work that would require me to change my visa status to a work visa. When I’m faced with application questions like “Are you authorized to work for the role and in the country for which you are applying?” my instinct is to say select “no” because my WHV only allows certain work. But do I answer “yes” because I’m living here and already working (just not at a sponsored level)? I know this seems like the dumbest question to ask here 😅
There is also a follow up question on a lot of apps asking something like “Do you now, or will you in the future require immigration sponsorship to work?” which I know to answer “yes” for that.
Almond milk seems to have completely disappeared from the grocery stores near me (Tokyu, Super Sanwa). Looks like Amazon is still carrying グリコ アーモンド効果, but was just curious if it was a popularity thing, or some kind of production issue I haven’t heard about.
Has anyone made *somen* with only the green and pink noodles? Will I be arrested by the FBI if I do?
The zip on my several-years-old Montbell hiking pants-shorts combo has borked. I really like this pair so anyone know how I might get them repaired?
I did it, just turned on the AC. Anyone else? Or am I crazy for thinking today is hot.
What’s the generic term for the small neighborhood parks that are some dirt, a swing, and a bench?
For the wall heat pump units, is there a way to calibrate the temperature for them? I noticed that its reading higher than the actual temperature since the air is warmer up there.
