One of my students who have known for almost a year asked me to be a reference for their Canadian citizenship. Today, I got a call from IRCC saying I don’t qualify to be a reference since I am a college faculty member, not a university faculty member. I teach a university transfer course 🤷♂️

Rolling the dice and taking the SkyTrain to work today (like I usually do). Just hoping there are trains this afternoon to take me home. Google Maps is telling me it would be an almost 4-hour walk home if not
