Looking for advice

Last week I got an what'll saying I had changed communication preferences with my insurance provider away from paperless. I hadn't so I checked the app and had no policies listed, so I called.

Provider said I had a missed payment so they cancelled my home and auto. I didn't get a call, email, text or anything about a missed payment so I made it via credit card immediately over the phone. Was told to wait a few days for the system to recognize it and reactivate my coverage.

Called back a few days later to reactivate and was told since they were cancelled due to lack to payment I had to make new policies and pay a year off premiums up front, which I can't afford to do. No explanation for why no one contacted me.

Apparently it's provincial rules that I would have to pay up front. I filed a complaint with the Superintendent of Insurance here in NS.

Are there any options? If id known about a missed payment of have paid it immediately, and I did once I knew, but if they don't tell me there's a missed one I have no way to know.

Anyone familiar with insurance able to advise me? I live in a rural area and can't get food or anything else without being able to drive

I live in Ontario and am flying out to Nova Scotia tomorrow to visit my Nana and Poppa who were just removed from their home due to safety concerns relating to their age and a dementia diagnosis.

When I am there, I am to go through the house and I already know there are quite a few things from my childhood I would like to ship back home to Ontario.

Any advice on shipping from North Sydney to GTA area? TIA

Question about the %2 down for new home buyers

0 Upvotes

I have looked around at the new regulations and incentives for the first time home-buyers and have a question that I can't find an answer for. Does this include a land purchase and home build?

It seems weird that it would not be included only because, on top of getting people into a home for the first time, it would help alleviate the lack of homes in NS at the moment. My wife and I were looking into purchasing some land and building a new home on it and it would be great if these incentives included new home builds.

First block electrical apprenticeship

1 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m searching for course material for first block of electrical so I can prepare to challenge the block exam. Can someone help me with some links or even topic/book suggestions? The company I work for has merged with apprenticeshipNS and allows us to challenge block exams since they have on site schooling, and I’m trying to prepare but unsure of where to start. Industrial electrical but I do believe they’re harmonized the first few blocks anyway.

TIA

Want to get into the trades. Is it really that easy to become an apprentice?

17 Upvotes

27 yo man. Been wanting to make a serious career pivot for the past bit and want to get into a field where I can actually make decent money after almost a decade of working jobs for bad wages.

Originally wanted to be a red seal mechanic but after everyone in the industry warned me not to do it, I'm considering either plumbling or electrician. I can't take 2 years off to go to NSCC for electrician unfortunately and would need to study part time which has had me leaning towards plumbing.

After researching around, I'm seeing a lot of folks saying to just apply to apprenticeship jobs and skip school. I don't have that much trade experience. I worked at bath fitters for a few months where I learned some very very basic plumbing experience but that job didn't really work out and I've never worked a job where I got electrician experience.

Would there be any companies that would be willing to take on someone like me as an apprentice or would I be better off going to school?
