What happened to dankboi?

Just busy with life, I guess. Was making a move to a new city when I last talked to him.

Hi, I am a CEC & FSW eligible candidate. I was wondering in the current July/Aug all category draws, if I am above the cut off limits, does this mean I will receive an ITA for CEC & FSW or just one? I would assume it makes more sense to apply with ITA for CEC, but would this be a possibility?

If you qualify for CEC, you will get for CEC. It takes first precendence.
If not next you will be matched for FSW.

Your rank will be common, your program (CEC or FSW) will depend upon eligibility with CEC taking priority if you are eligible for both.

Thanks for clarifying

Can anybody suggest a real estate website possibly tried and tested to find out decent places to stay in vancouver? The rents looks crazy though thorough out the internet.

It doesn't look crazy. IT IS CRAZY.

Its not "Cheap", it is still affordable. Other major Canadian cities are hugely expensive and I do not even live in Vancouver or Toronto.

Homes are not that expensive in Toronto. I own a 6 bed 2 bath home about 30km from the city and it only cost me 800k.

*6 bed means a room with 6 beds not 6 bedrooms.

Does that mean there are two bath tubs in the bathroom?

No it just means there are two different buckets that can be used to fill water for bath.

One example of companies snatching up homes in Canada, just for you :
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/toronto-developer-buying-homes-anti-poverty-group-1.6066903

An anti-poverty group is calling a Toronto-based developer's plan to buy $1 billion worth of single-family homes and turn them into rental properties a "frightening" example of how even more people will be priced out of an increasingly expensive housing market.

The plan, reported by the Globe and Mail on Monday, would see Core Development Group build a single-family home rental business by buying housing stock in medium-sized cities across Ontario, including London, Kingston, Hamilton, Barrie, Cambridge, Peterborough, Guelph and St. Catharines.

The developer wants to expand its footprint outside the province by 2026, to eventually build a fleet of 4,000 rental units in Ontario, B.C., Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/medi...operty-and-vacant-land-bc-ontario-nova-scotia

New data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) shows that individuals own the vast majority of residential properties while non-individuals own less than 10% of residential properties in British Columbia (B.C.), Ontario and Nova Scotia, according to the most recent Housing Market Insight (HMI) released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

It is worth noting that a number of non-individual owners are at times just indirect ownership using a trust to hide the ownership. Even all of that put together its less than 10% in BC, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

This entire narrative that massive institutional buyers are gobling up real estate in Canada is patently false. Its nothing but Canadian being Canadians. They take out massive loans and are using real estate as some kind of retirement fund or get rich quick scheme.

Its never a good idea to just look at one or two instances but to look at over all picture. Its individual Canadian all along. The article is fairly new, from 2019. Highly doubt anything has changed in past 3 years or so.

It is further corroborated by my observation : When rate of interest goes up, house sales disappears and when it goes down people gobble up houses like it is some kind of ambrosia. This is not a behaviour of deep pocketed institutions. This is behaviour of debt-fueled individuals.

Canada is just US lite.

That is not necessarily a bad thing. What is bad is that it is not lite in right places. Its US ++++ in all the wrong places.
