I graduated and have been searching for a job since then. I’ve had 10 interviews, but after getting ghosted/rejected so many times, I’m honestly starting to feel like I’m going insane just being at home waiting for something to happen.

I’ve applied to over 500 jobs and sent cold emails, but at this point I’m also starting to worry that I might not even get a job in my field.

For people who have been unemployed for months, what are you actually doing with your days? How do you keep yourself from feeling like your life is just on pause while you wait for a job?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for an entry-level Legal Assistant or Immigration Legal Assistant opportunity in the GTA.

I have a graduate certificate in Immigration Case Management and am eager to find an opportunity where I can learn, contribute, and grow professionally. While I have a background in immigration, I’m also open to opportunities across different areas of law.

If your firm is hiring or you know of any openings, I’d really appreciate any leads or referrals. I’d be happy to send my résumé to anyone who may be able to help.

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old woman looking to be more intentional about building a community and meeting new people in Toronto.

I’m hoping to meet people who enjoy trying new activities, fitness/wellness, networking, personal growth, exploring the city, building meaningful friendships, and also having the occasional fun night out.

I’m curious — what activities, clubs, classes, or communities in Toronto have you found are actually good places to meet like-minded people in their 20s?

I’ve been considering things like tennis, swimming, Pilates/fitness classes, and different hobby groups, but I’d love to hear what has genuinely worked for others.

Any recommendations for welcoming communities or activities would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, I recently moved into a rental in Canada Toronto and I’m new to how housing rules work here, so I really need advice.

From the first day we moved in, we noticed cockroaches in the unit and I immediately informed the landlord. Since then, the situation has gotten worse and is now unbearable. I’ve raised it multiple times and asked for fumigation, but she said she doesn’t really know how it works and only provided cockroach traps, with no proper treatment.

There are also serious safety and maintenance concerns. There is no proper working smoke alarm in the unit; when I complained, the landlord gave us a plug-in air quality/gas detector instead, which doesn’t seem like a proper smoke detector. The bathroom also has no ventilation fan, and when I raised this, she said it would be too expensive to fix and that we should just keep using it as it is.

At this point I’m not sure what my rights are in Ontario or what steps I can take. I want to know what I can realistically do, who I can report this to if nothing changes, and whether this is serious enough to involve a housing authority or tenant board. Any advice would really help.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to make a lump sum payment specifically to the Ontario (provincial) portion of my OSAP loan through NSLSC.

I already submitted a Directed Loan Payment request, but the status still shows “In Progress.”

I tested it by sending a small amount, and it went to my federal portion instead, so now I’m thinking the request hasn’t been applied yet.

I want to send a larger amount, but I’m not sure if I should wait until the request status changes (like to “Completed”) before sending it, or if it’s okay to send it now and it will still go to the provincial portion.

I’m also wondering if mailing a cheque would be a better way to make sure it goes only to Ontario.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent graduate in Toronto aiming to work as an immigration law clerk/legal assistant. I’ve been actively applying to roles, tailoring my resume for each position, and also trying cold emailing law firms, but I’m either told they’re not hiring or I don’t get responses.

So far, I’ve only had one interview and didn’t hear back after.

Are there any other strategies or anything else I can do to improve my chances of getting a job?

Thanks!
