I posted to this subreddit about a year and a half ago when I was in grade 11 about how I could not afford college and now I am done highschool got good grades and got a full time job (fastfood) trying to find a different job but it’s hard to find something that will give me full time hours right now. Anyways I have saved up for 50% of my college tuition and am doing some certificates such as first aid,food handlers and medical terminology on the side but I still feel like shit as alot of my classmates went off to college and I’m just stuck at this place I can’t go to college till September 2022 since all my programs will not start untill that time and it makes me feel really anxious and ashamed of myself anyways to help me feel less shitty? via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/3zZ2kx3

When I was first learning, I mostly focused in projects. And that was great but I always felt like my JS skills were weak. Even my current job, I had a leetcode test and failed miserably. It was a miracle I got the job. I started doing leetcoded the past week and I feel like such a better programmer. Even though right now I’ve only done like 15 of the easy mode ones, I still have much more confidence than before. Wish I’d have started sooner tbh via /r/webdev https://ift.tt/3DVTsdX

Pardon me for this upcoming rant. I’m sitting in a hospital emergency waiting room and browsing reddit. My SO and I have always strived to make a good living for ourselves and I think i finally realized that we’ve been putting our health – physical and mental- on the back burner. I think she’s burnt out and the doctors are trying to figure out what’s going on. Scary sight.I’ve been a long time reader of this subreddit and have found some very useful tips here. Recently, there are 10 posts a day about housing being unaffordable, grocery prices going up, should I buy this car, should I invest in this stock and I can get paid 11x more in the US etc.To each their own, of couse. However, if I have one message for all of you- please focus on your health.Money isn’t everything. Pay attention to your body. If you’re in pain, see a doctor. If you’re overworked, ask for a break. Don’t neglect your own well being for money. It is not worth it.Peace, love and health to everyone on PFC. via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/3tBkfYt

The Distributions of household economic accounts provide important insight into the trends in household economic well-being and income inequality in Canada. Here are a few highlights from today’s release:Despite the uncertainty and volatility of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian households in the lowest (+19.6%) and second (+23.6%) wealth quintiles increased their share of net worth at a faster pace than wealthier households in 2020.Lower and middle income earners had the largest annual increases in their disposable income, shrinking the gap between the highest and lowest income earners to the lowest level recorded since 1999.[We are Canada’s national statistical agency.

Voici quelques faits saillants de notre diffusion d’aujourd’hui :En 2020, malgré l’incertitude et l’instabilité associées à la pandémie de COVID-19, les ménages canadiens du quintile de patrimoine inférieur (+19,6 %) et du deuxième quintile de patrimoine (+23,6 %) ont augmenté leur part de valeur nette à un rythme plus rapide que celui des ménages plus fortunés.Les personnes gagnant un revenu faible et moyen ont connu les plus fortes augmentations annuelles de leur revenu disponible, ce qui a fait diminuer l’écart entre les personnes gagnant le revenu le plus élevé et celles gagnant le revenu le plus faible pour atteindre son niveau le plus bas jamais enregistré depuis 1999. [Nous sommes l’organisme national de statistique du Canada.

Part 1. Mysterious calls from CRA.I want to share a story about how our government blew all fraud control procedures with Covid money distribution and how potentially millions of dollars of Covid relief money are stolen from us by crooks – using flawed systems, lack of controls, and, honestly, nobody giving a f…k about our tax money.I have proofs for all the claims made in this story.If you work for the press and want to run this story, please contact me directly through reddit, providing your name and callback number matching public phone of your organization, I will call you back and I will work with you + provide all documents.Likewise, If you are from RCMP, SCIS or any independent agency at GC that wants to investigate, I will be glad to provide all details including ones not stated here.I will not talk to Industry Canada (ISED) or CRA on this matter, as these two agencies have vested interest in covering up their incompetency. In my eyes, they discredited themselves by allowing this scam to happen (and to continue to this day !!!!) whereas catching it would take 30 seconds spent to execute one SQL query in their databases.In the last part, I will even tell what that query should be.I withheld a lot of info because I do not know how big and powerful the ring that runs this scheme is, and I want to protect my privacy. This criminal organization might have accomplices inside Industry Canada or CRA. Honestly, I cannot imagine how they can pull if off otherwise.This is the issue of national importance, so I appreciate if you “like” and share this post.If you are skilled in web scraping / data mining and want to do the job of identifying the crooks, or at least, estimating the magnitude of this scheme, I will have some ideas in the last part.If you have questions about how the scam works, and why it was not stopped in 1+ year since Covid handouts started, I will provide my thoughts as well. Be patient and read on.The story starts in year 2016 when I decided to experiment with selling stuff on Amazon.I went to Kanton fair in China to find a supplier, then got me a business partner, and we registered new federal Canadian corporation for this project. In case you are interested – we were selling hydroponics equipment, trying to capitalize on the trend of growing plants at home. The sales were ok… ish, but nothing to be super excited about. At the same time, due to other circumstances, the stress in my life went up, and both me and my partner lost interest in this project. We did not come back to it since. Neither did we file any corporate returns, assuming that corporation will be closed automatically after a while.4 years have passed since. In the middle of the summer of 2021, I started receiving calls from CRA. In total, I received 5 calls from different people that wanted to talk to me about some returns submitted by that abandoned corporation. The conversation always went like this:Me: Please let me know what is going on because that corporation is not really activeCRA: Provide your address for security purposesMe: [ providing my home address at which the corporation was registered ]CRA: The address does not match our the recordsMe: wha… ????Admittedly, I was somewhat slow to catch on what was really going on, but from hints dropped by CRA employees during those 5 calls, I was able to figure out that someone has changed the address and directors for our corporation. I immediately contacted my former business partner and asked him whether he did that. He was just as surprised, but less ignorant about how easy it is to get info on any corporation in Canada. He sent me the link to the public record showing that the address and list of directors has been changed.According to that public record, me and my partner were removed from list of directors, and the guy named Naveen was the director now. Address was different, too. Our corporation was hijacked.I know that attention spans are short nowadays, so I will end this part here, but give you the preview of remaining partsPart 2. Naveen and Akash come to the scene. I google them up, and find out that my corporation was only one amongst many highjacked. I am starting to figure out how the scam likely worksPart 3. I call CRA and tell them about the scam. At the same time, trying to estimate how much money one can steal from the government’s COVID handouts using this scheme. (Spoiler: a lot, garage full of Lambos kind of money)Part 4. My suspicions are confirmed in the most unusual way. Government of Canada mails to the crooks a juicy check for “Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy” 30 days after I told CRA about the scam. By some luck or accident, they send it to my home address. It seems that they rolled back address change in their databases after my call, but in 30 days failed to stop the payments to the crooks. Bingo! I got the proof that the scam exists and works exactly as I suspected.I have that cheque sitting on my table as I write this, and I still cannot believe my eyes.Part 5. What can we do and who is to blame.Obviously our government cannot / will not do anything about it. But there must be a way to get stats on magnitude of this scam using public databases.Please like and share ! This stuff is important to all Canadians. I will be dropping parts 2 to 5 at the rate of approx. 1 per day, as I am still completing them.P.S. I first posted this story on r/canada thread with 1m+ subscribers, but moderators shit their pants and removed my post. via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/3DSjtL4

https://ift.tt/3BLLKRU applies to non local residents. For apple to apple, It is like you live in Toronto and you cannot buy any property in Halifax unless you physically work in Halifax and pay local taxes in Halifax for more than 5 years, but after 5 years still only one Halifax property allowed to buy and no chance to be a rental landlord in Halifax lifetime if you are migrant to Halifax such as Toronto’s boomer retiring in Halifax because you basically already allowed to have two properties in T.O. your hometown so you come to Halifax you only can rent no buying unless you are rehired in Halifax and continue to work for another 5 years to become eligible to buy locally in Halifax and for live in only, no renting out allowed. This way allows young local Halifax worker also first-time buyers to avoid the disvantagous competition from T.O.’s retired boomer buyers who migrate to Halifax and never lived/worked in there before but with million dollar cash after sold his/her hometown’s property.I mean in China the law (new game rules) really give local taxpayers a better and fairer treatment in terms of local residential property buying or renting out as local landlords. Because locals have worked for years and/or for generations and contributed to tax bases for building all local Infrastructures/public services such as Hospitals, roads, transits, schools, libraries, policing, firefighting, water/waste treatments, seniors caretakings, etc. This sounds very logical and reasonable.They only take minimum 5 years of local work and income tax paying as local residential property entering criteria no matter you are foreigner, P.R. or Chinese citizens who live in other regions, no nationality/racial discrimination at all. Simple like that. Work 5 Years – Pay Income Taxes – Own RE – Maximum Two. No fuking around game playing the system.If you think about the rationale behind China’s big cities this new game rule change in RE, from policy point of view, they really want local city’s young working class people, who are priced out but already started career more than 5 years and earn good staple incomes, being able to own property for them to live-in having family and contribute taxes because they are the real backbones for the local economy not only for now but also for the future. Same as Canada, China’s population are aging fast and birth rate is low now. They have to keep the young skilled workers/professinals stay, have children (increase birth rate) and not run away, seriously. Good forward Policy thinking. You lose the young you lose the future.And in Canada we try to solve the low birth rate aging population issues by increasing immigrant volumes, however at this level of housing affordablilty, tight supplies, high cost of livings and less good paid job opportunity, the best bet is you most likely get people who are already wealthy back home and not quite young but only willing to come here because they can harbor wealth, enjoy free healthcare system and get best investment returns for their own money (legal or illegal) in RE and the gains are tax free or just become landlords/AirBnB owners to rent out collecting passive incomes. They are already somehow rich/established and can afford to buy RE but not going to work any real jobs to pay T4 taxes as such some rich immigrants end up having satellite family/houses here but being classified as low income people here in Canada under CRA’s criteria, this fault T4 based criteria result wrong income data collected and thus wrong fiscal Policy decisions are made. When looking back this only leads to the tax bases shrinking, deficits skyrocketing, housing prices soaring and young skilled workers/professionals leaving like we have already experienced in the last couple years. The policy did fail as matter of fact and the whole young generation are entirely priced out. What you really need to do at Policy Level is you must make housing affordable for the young working people at any cost to retain them because they are the backbone and future of the country and only they can give birth to our children (increase birth rate) and bring new ideas/knowledge, new innovations and productivity (increase tax revenues) through hard work to the ever aging and tax consuming populations.On the other hand, if you dare to game the system in China like the Liberal MP did in B.C. flipping so many properties and profited in millions in just several years, once get caught in there you done and are facing serious criminal charges based on the amount of illegal gains you make and that guy may easily end up with more than 25 years in jail time and lost all his properties, no joke. And that is why loose laws always attract and reward bold criminals who take chance both internationally and domestically. via /r/canadahousing https://ift.tt/3BJimvu
