Recent immigrant and about to buy a car - insurance company said it would take 2 weeks to process my application. Is this normal? In the US I insured my car with one 10min phone call, so was a bit surprised

That seems silly. Where are you getting insurance? I got mine on the phone in 10mins. You can even get it online through Sonnet.

Yeah, check Sonnet - everyone I’ve ever recommended has gotten lower rates with them and you can get a quick quote yourself online and buy within a few min

Congratulations! What did you end up getting?

I bought my insurance over the phone from TD in 10 mins 2 months back.

Also check to see if your firm offers discounts for any car insurance companies!

Thanks all! I tried to get insurance through my firm and it is where I was told they needed 2 weeks to review my application- will check out Sonnet

Congrats on the new ride!!!

Thanks! Finally got insurance from TD - best price and less hassle.

Got a 2013 rav4

Thanks! Yeah I actually found their customer service so much better that I am thinking of migrating my chequings and savings there. I know insurance and banking might have two completely separate customer service structures, but I would think one should not be that far from the other

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
