Pippin said:AATIFA: Reading of your harrowing landing and the rudeness/incompetence you experienced from the Immigration Officer, I would have no hesitation to report her behaviour. Hopefully you have her name or identification number. She should not be doing a job like hers if she is treating people that way.
BUYING A HOUSE: Yes, paying off your mortgage instead of putting money into rent makes a lot of sense if you have a good downpayment saved. Beware of borrowing rates. Canada has been in a period of low interest rates and they are on the rise. Be sure that your income is sufficient to cover your mortgage if interest rates go up by the time you have to renew your loan. A lot of people were caught out this way in the US and lost their homes.
