OK, I love my mom. She\\’s totally bad-ass and all around awesome. \u00a0With one exception: when she calls me at work on a Monday afternoon for two reasons.<\/p>\n
That\\’s it!!!!<\/p>\n
Her response to that? Well I wanted to catch you before you left so you had time to head to the bank and you could e-mail me later on when you got home. \u00a0It\\’s called google mom. \u00a0You would be AMAZED at the information that you can find online. \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n Bear in mind I live in one province, mommy dearest lives in another. \u00a0So when my mom\\’s number appears on my phone in the middle of a work day, I obviously assume the worst, have a mini stroke and then pick up the phone.<\/p>\n For that ^ >.<<\/p>\n Also, my cell company… GOOD LORD!<\/p>\n I have a plan that has 10 international buddies<\/span>\u00a0which should offer me unlimited calling to ten people of my choosing ALL ACROSS THE WORLD. Hence the term INTERNATIONAL. \u00a0So yeah I was a little pissy when I got a huge ass phone bill charging me for calling someone in Nebraska. Three times! \u00a0So I e-mail them and this is what the response that I got was:<\/p>\n Greetings Stephanie,<\/em><\/p>\n You\\’ve reached Amanda with Virgin Mobile and I would like to thank you for your patience while awaiting a response. I can certainly discuss your national Buddies. I completely understand where you\\’re coming from and why you\\’d like to ensure you\\’re being billed fairly.<\/em><\/p>\n National Buddies are for calling Canadian numbers while in Canada. Being able to call within Canada to a Canadian number is national calling. It appears your service is working perfectly based on the services you signed up for.<\/em><\/p>\n I trust this clears up how your Buddies work, Stephanie.<\/em><\/p>\n All the best,<\/em> Listen up Amanda!<\/p>\n This don\\’t clear up shit! Why? Because I don\\’t have the national buddies plan, mine is supposed to be international<\/strong>! \u00a0*face palm*<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n On a final note, I\\’m going back to school. \u00a0I need a permanent code since I didn\\’t go to school in QC. \u00a0So I contacted the government authority that I was supposed to contact, and was a little taken aback by their response:<\/p>\n Greetings,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you for writing to the Minist\u00e8re de l\\’\u00c9ducation, du Loisir et du Sport.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n In response to your question, we would like to inform you that, in order to obtain a permanent code, you must present your immigration documents to the school where you want to study. They will then send a request to the MELS to have a permanent code assigned to you. However, please take note that, if you have submitted a request for financial assistance to a person responsible for international cooperation programs at the MELS, or to a person responsible for the faculty of graduate studies at your university, he or she will take care of requesting a permanent code for you. In any case, you must wait until you have received your documents from the Minist\u00e8re de l\\’Immigration et des Communaut\u00e9s culturelles.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n We hope this information is to your satisfaction.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Regards,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Violaine Forget<\/em><\/p>\n Dear Violaine,<\/p>\n I\\’m a Canadian.
