I had a series of interviews that went swimmingly and I was told that directly. I was also told they would reach out with next steps. It's been about a week and I understand there was a holiday, when should I assume this is dead in the water?

No, this is happening to me right now. They got back to me today to schedule. It’s just an unfortunate time for interviewing anywhere. Lots of summer PTO and scheduling conflicts. Be patient! It will work out. Make sure to follow up if you haven’t already.

I would still reach out even with the holiday last week. Usually, I'll reach out at the one week mark and the two week mark, but then after that, I keep it moving if I haven't heard back. Hope you hear back this week! Keep us updated!

Agreed with this

This is all very normal pacing, especially with the 4th last week. Reach out again if you don't hear from them in the next day or two. In general, after two weeks without contact I assume I'm out of the running.

I'm still waiting but they said they're just waiting for approval from a few departments! Fingers are crossed.

Update: I'm STILL waiting. Considering moving on if I don't hear anything this week.

i had my canadian pr last year but didn’t do the landing since covid hit. the deadline passed of course and the immigration office reached out to check if i’m still interested and if so i should re-do a medical. assuming my medical goes through and my pr is processed and accepted again, does anyone know if landing is still a thing? my original plan was to do a landing and move after 2 years. is this still possible or does canada basically want you to move in a year or so after pr is granted?

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
