  • That is a colossal f-up from the part of the health authority hiring and / or the HR personnel, from the sounds of it… Uprooting your family’s life internationally and experiencing this situation is just horrible. I’m sorry your partner and you are going through this =(

    I’m sure the both of you have already researched as many options available for support but I’ll try to share some ideas as well.

    Explore if there are ombudspersons one can connect with. They may be able to offer guidance and support, but issues related to immigration may complicate it. There may be ombudspersons for specific hospitals, across the health authority, generally for healthcare workers, and potentially for immigration-related stuff.

    See if there are immigrant support groups around the area your partner is in. They may have folks that have experienced similar situations before and they could provide guidance for how they’ve handled it / what happened. As well, it’s another outlet to commiserate and hopefully be less alone during this moment.

    If finances and food-scarcity is an issue, there should generally be food banks around if they are not too far.

    Unfortunately with Canada, and as a result each province, being so vast, the availability and accessibility to all of these services will vary depending on where one’s in.

    I’m keeping my fingers crossed for y’all that the health authority can just sort out the job title BS internally. Administrative nonsense affecting real people’s lives is just cruel.









  • Yeah, when the popup came up offering to do the translation on a Japanese website I was on, I was pretty stoked! I was using the Developer Edition then, so it was still in beta and there weren’t any official announcements then. Glad it’s out officially now!


















  • Assuming you’re viewing on mobile, at the top of the page, there should be a Sidebar button. Click that and it will expand the sidebar. There should now be a Subscribe button for you to subscribe to the community.

    Note that the URL should look something like <local instance url>/c/<remote channel>@<remote instance hostname>. For example, my local instance is Beehaw too and I’m trying to view AskLemmy on lemmy.ml, so it should be something like beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
