Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

Em, I am not sure what style of your CAC system. because for our condo, we had a "air mouth" (translate it straightly from Chinese). It will have a horizontal "cover like blinds" and a vertical blinds inside... for our case, the inside blinds shutted...

yes, talk to your banker. I am sure they are happy to sell you more products. When we applied for mortgage, there are a list of extra "services" they can give us like Gold Credit card, Unlimited credit card, etc. You know, more service they can sell you, better they look... so talk to the banker la. How long have you worked in Canada? i think that is on your credit file as well.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

doggie,

you should get your mortgage arrange ASAP. At least get one bank to get approval first. August may be too late. The rate is low right now. If you wanna shop for lower rate, do it closer to the closing date, but having the approval is important ah... especially for your credit history case, better discuss with the bank soon.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

I only have 6 months working record here and the reason i don't do the mortgage shop around is my sister-in-law offer us to pay off the house in full. In return, we pay her back on a monthly installment + small interest (lower than the mortgage rate but higher than she got from the bank for the interest)... so we still thinking. as you know - anything related to money will ruin the relationship between friends/relative....

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

doggie,

Oh ic ... definitely, you have to think carefully on this matter. Mortgage rate will drop continuely and it is hard to ask to repay lower interest if the rate keeps going down.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

doggie,

Since this is a brand new home, the builder usually hook up with the bank for mortgage. Their mortgage can even lower than outside. Do check with A.R. sales office. Once you have the mortgage, you can then applied for VISA. I never like HSBC in Canada. Overcharge admin. fees, unfriendly service, too HK style of work. Have you tried ING? The closest will be Victoria/Steeles. They offer good service and competitive rate.

Check your filter. Most condo has separate filter @ home. You might need to replace the new one.

Dog loves winter than summer. Asking you to wear your mink (or fur depends what you called it) and walk outside right now and you will understand why my dog rush back home. There are plenty of parks outthere where you can unleash your friend and let it enjoy. There are also unleash park in Markham where dogs are legally run free.

You mean "Register" (aka "Air Mouth") plate on the floor/wall? Or the "Access Doors" inside the Air Vent was closed?

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

just can't relate the "register" with the air vent outlet...

the A.R using the RBC. i haven't check out the mortgage rate, but TD offer us 4.5 (4.75) can't remember... my sister-in-law saying 4% to borrow the money to us... and that's why we are hestitating... what a headache and my hair turn grey already....

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

doggie,

I know it is hard to refuse your relatives.... we got 4.4 from Scotia. TD dropped to 4.7 as posted recently. You may get 4.45 or 4.4 as well.

Don't get stressed. Let your husband deal with it. :-P

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

Yeah! Just let the "MEN" handle it. Oh brother...

(If you see the TV ad., when it comes to mortgage, it's always the "HE" who handle this - and if you look closer, mostly are bolded)

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

I was just off the phone with my friend who supply foods to Chinese grocery stores. Apparantly there is a war going on in our chinese supermarket community. Recently, "Kim San" (Golden Mountain) had a grand opening in Miss. The new store has the new policy in place that all vendor must pay them a 'shelf admin fees' in order to allow vendors to put their items on the shelf. The price is set based on your company size and relationship with the owner. Min. is around 5K and can go as high as 20k. A lot of suppliers hestitate to do so and so the owner of the supermarket change the policy again. The new policy now said without paying the 'shelf admin fees', "Kim San" will reject all their goods from other "Kim San" stores across GTA.
In another news, other food chain owners had a secret meeting last weekend (From Wai Yan to T&T in promanede mall), and now all Chinese supermarket owners against "Kim San" and told all the suppliers that if any supplier who pay up that 'shelf admin fees' to "Kim San", they must pay them as well, otherwise, your goods will not be seen in their store.

So, next time when you goto Miss. "Kim San", you will see there are less variety to choose.

:-x

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

that is so crazy! I don't like Kam Shan at all... dirty... I remember that when T&T opened, Kam Shan condemed T&T will control the market of fresh fish. But actually, it did that for its own benefit. We should boyscott Kam Shan then!

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

the "Shelf Admin fee' is common in HK, both Park'n shop and Welcome do have such charges to the vendor, so that the vendor's products would be place on the "eye-level" for customer to pick, otherwise, they might be put to the bottom shelf, hidden corner... and let them to expire and return to the vendor... CA$5K - $20K is not much in compare to those that pay in HK...

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

Not all suppliers got charge. Vendor with exclusive rights like BRANDS, Kim San didn't charge them a penny.

Frozen seafood products, another example. There are only three suppliers in GTA who do asian frozen seafood and none of them require to pay.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

I know there will be fireworks on Canada day in Ontario place. Apart from Ontario place, NEI knows other places will perform the fireworks too? It's going to take hours to travel north bound on DVP after the fireworks.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

the park that next to the Markville mall do have the firework.. Per my god son, you will have to be there around 7pm to get a good "seating" to see the displace. There is shuttle to take you from Markville malls to the park as limited parking space in the park.

I don't have the details but that what they told me yesterdays as we will join them tomorrow.

any one be to the Hamilton's conservation park? I read from the Ming Po Magazine, there are 3 famous falls over there, anyone been there before? are they worthwhile to go?? if so, will go tomorrow...

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

Never mind. I got the info. (Thanks doggie, beats me on replying myself)

FYI

Apart from downtown Ontario place, both Markham and Richmond Hill will have their own fireworks.

For Markham, the location is Milne Park on McCowan/South of Hwy 7. Free shuttle bus if you park in Markville Shopping Center (southwest corner) every 15 minutes. If park inside the Milne park, it will cost $5.00. Fireworks starts @2200 hrs.

For Richmond Hill, the location is Richmond Green. It's between Leslie and Bayview on Elgin Mills. Parking is free. Fireworks starts @2200 hrs.

For Scarborough residents (ckkwyl, doggie) , goto Markham fireworks. Be sure to take the shuttle avoid traffic jam coming out from the park.

Others like PoohPoohMaMa and deprivemom, if you take RedStone, go East to the end, there is local park at the corner of RedStone/Toporiski (something like that). We can watch the fireworks from there. The Richmond Greens just 2 blocks north of the local park.

Of course, Ontario Place will be the biggest firework. For $85/guest, you can take the cruise and dinner in Lake Ontario. Look under http://www.torontodinnercruises.com/ website.

Re: 請問有無住在加拿大既媽咪?

I have been to the Hamilton provincial park. It is pretty nice, but I didn't see the falls there. If you are interested in outdoor life, I suggest you getting the yearly pass for $80 something. You can enter the provincial park unlimited time.
