interesting read particularly if facing high rent

Parking fines do not affect your driving record except maybe you parked in a way such that it could potentially violate traffic laws. In that case, it's the police that will be issuing the ticket. However unpaid parking fines can lead to debt collections which can damage one's credit record.

It's a good thing you cleared your mind though.

yes thanks

hello all, pls what's your take on this
I got a parking warning (note not a ticket ) today
while parked in a lot that I use sometimes cos it's closer for me
I went to the booth where the officers or whatever they are called were and explained to them I had paid using the mobile app

the officer kind of acknowledged the error
though saying the warning is cos i was parked on the level for hourly parking while i have monthly hang tag pass (this is for another lot that is much farther, where I park most times) - apparently they thought this monthly hang tag was for their lot and monthly permit holders should park on a higher level
optimally he should have checked and seen I had paid via the app so I was on the right level

finally he said it's only a warning,so no fine
all good
but my problem is this entering my driving record and affecting insurance rate in d future
also though it's a warning, it is written on normal form used to issue tickets,only that WARNING is written on it

should I go to the main office to ensure it is expunged?
I have the receipt for the parking I paid for via mobile app
apologies for long story

quick update, I went to the office there are no issues, cos it only affects driving record if there is a fine to pay and u dont pay it

everyday a new lesson

Yes you will get a tax refund, most new immigrants who started working in the middle of the year most times get all their taxes back

thanks very much

thanks very much for this

please consider this scenario and advice

i landed in mid 2018 and started working almost immediately
based on my annual salary and province, I fell into the bracket that is taxed at around 34% (fed +province)

but of course I did not work up to a year in canada, so my actual earned income in 2018 in canada falls in the bracket taxed at around 24%

so will I get a tax refund for this ?
because there is about 1500 cad difference (I confirmed this using my payslips to see the tax that was deducted )

mind you I had an income in Nigeria in the first half of 2018 and the PAYE taxes had been deducted by my employer (I have the lagos e-tcc and all that ). I had declared this nigerian income from the first half while filing for gst/hst credit

also adding my income from the first half of the year still does not push me into the higher tax bracket
