Wasn’t too sure what to put in the title but I need advice from some more experienced folks. My partner and I have been dating for a little under 4 months. We met in person as she’s from Canada and im from Buffalo so it’s a 3 hours drive. However she’s in British Columbia for the summer and has been since April 26th. Now we have 39 days left and I just want it to end. We started at 115 and now we’re only down to a little over a month.

My question is. How do you deal with the final stretch it seems to have gotten harder? Is this normal? Any suggestions for what to do to actually make the time go by faster. I work long hours anyways but on my weekends I am just bored.

TLDR: I got 39 days left until I see my partner how can I make time go by faster?

Thanks for any input!

Hello everyone! I wanted to get some more information about my specific situation and was hoping someone could help. I’m American, my girlfriend is Canadian. I wanted to start applying for a work permit towards the end of the year (Oct-Dec). I’ve done some research and I know there’s tons of posts about work permits in this subreddit. I just wanted to hear from people who have gone through it themselves.

I am a mechanic. And from my research there are some programs for mechanics and other special trade workers. How do I apply for that? And would it help my chances if at all? I have also heard securing a job offer before applying for a permit can be difficult but also makes getting the permit easier. Is this true?

There’s definitely more things I’m not thinking of right now but any experience whatsoever would be invaluable!

Please let me know your experience and any tips/tricks/ critiques. Especially if you’re a mechanic or trade worker!

Hey guys I wanted to get a little advice on how to start van life. I’ve always liked driving and traveling to other places. And living in a van is on the bucket list. But I often find myself stumped on how to begin? How much money do I need? Do you guys recommend a certain van to start? So forth and so on.

Please lmk thank you!!
