What would be the typical monthly cost to live in Richmond?

Family with one young kid.
Assuming renting one bedroom decent apartment. We will consider buying after 6 months to year, but right now the ROI just doesn’t seem worth it even at these prices.
Assume brand new cars owned outright. No other debts.
Not coupon cutting buy meat on sale lifestyle but also not the dine out fancy restaurants every night either.
Weekdays cook at home, weekends maybe brunch or dinner outside at Asian restaurant. Most entertainment will be for the kid activities.

Thanks

Outland spouse PR - SOWP question?

If we submit a SOWP while in Canada and the PA spouse needs to leave Canada due family emergency (1-2 months) before the SOWP is approved what are the implications?

Originally we were planing to submit the SOWP and stay here until we get PR, but life happens and something family issues came up. Should we delay submitting the SOWP until we know for sure if they need to go or not?

One spouse is Canadian if that matters or has different rules.

How to properly drain dual hot water tanks?

I’ve watched videos on single tanks and it seemed pretty straightforward, but how is the process for 2 tanks connected together? Using the power flush method or whatever it’s called (not turning it off and let the cold water help flush out the gunk.)

Also it’s never been done in 20 years , will this cause any issues?

Where is the anode located?

New doc want to switch me to Ozempic?

I lived in 3 different countries for the past 3 years due to work.
In each country including the USA, I was seeing an endocrinologist for treatment.
The first one started me on Janumet and some other meds, I was able to get my A1c down to 8. The next two endocrinologist in the next to countries keep the same prescription with some tweaks.

Now, I moved back to my home in Canada. (The stupid system here, you need a family doctor to refer you to an endocrinologist before you can see one).
So I went to a walk in clinic to get a referral, the doctor didn’t ref me but inside order blood work and wants to start me on Ozempic immediately when I told him my A1c was around 8. Kept telling me horror stories about his patients dying with 7 or 7.5

I’m kind of worried because none of the past endocrinologist ever mentioned it and kept me on Janumet. And this is the first time I met this family doctor (not an endocrinologist).

I know nothing about ozempic but heard there is a class action suit.

Any thoughts?

Extension 2 or 6 months?

I was in the US on a L2 visa but ended my employment in Nov 2025, then moved back home leaving US in early Jan 2026.
I filed a tax filing extension form (can’t remember the number).

Im not familiar with US taxes, we only lived there 8 months. I’m confused about this out of country automatic two month extension.

So in my case is my extension 2 months or 6 months?

Thanks

Replace hot water tank?

Hi

I have 2x 40 gal Bradford white tanks that are about 25 yrs old. They are not giving me any issues should I change them or just wait till they die?

What is the worst and most typically consequence of just leaving it until it dies.

Background info, it’s a large house that mainly only one person lived in it for the past 25 yrs not sure if that’s the reason it last so long or doesn’t have issue yet. The tanks have never been maintenance.

Help with leak.

I think I have a deadspot in my roof that leaks when it’s clogged up. Every year after the winter birds come make a nest in that spot and I believe this causes the spot to clog up and the rain to either go over the flashing or into the part in the picture without flashing.

About 4 years ago I had someone come remove the debris and it seemed to work. But now it’s leaking again. I believe there is birds there again. It’s in the 2nd story so I cannot see it and don’t have a ladder high enough to go up there nor trust my ability to climb up safely.

What is the best solution to fix this problem, give it’s a tile roof?
Is there a way to add more flashing? What about the spot without any flashing, is there anything that can be done? Is there any kind of bird guards to prevent them from coming?

Thank you
