@yaszmichelln @CitImmCanada It arrived now. All good! Thanks

[Jasper De Meyer @Jasper_DM]

@yaszmichelln @CitImmCanada I applied via the official Canada website... checked all my spam folders. The payment went through, but no confirmation email of any kind, no application number. Can provide more info through DM. https://t.co/K7ozsesOXj

[Jasper De Meyer @Jasper_DM]

@CitImmCanada It has been more than 72 hours as well. Unsure what to do

[Jasper De Meyer @Jasper_DM]

@CitImmCanada Hi, I applied for an eta visa (and have paid), but I have not yet received any confirmation e-mail. There seems to be no way to reach via your web forms, as I do not have any application number (never received an e-mail). Not sure what to do, can you help?

The EU wants its everyday citizens to invest. The trouble is, it can’t find a way to stop the finance industry from ripping them off.

Today, in a vote on the Sustainability Omnibus, the conservative EPP Group and far-right groups in the 🇪🇺Parliament joined forces to eliminate companies' responsibility for the damage they cause to people and the planet.

Excellent news: Apple ordered to pay back taxes to Ireland to the tune of €13 billion. All multinationals should pay their fair share of taxes to the countries in which they operate. @icrict @FT https://t.co/7KpO9Bv0zw

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

"Today is a big win for European citizens and for tax justice.

The Court of Justice confirms that Ireland granted Apple unlawful aid which Ireland now has to recover, and the Commission's decision in the Google Shopping antitrust case."

Ce soir, mes amis et camarades socialistes français montrent qu’il est possible de stopper l’extrême droite en unissant la gauche.

Les résultats sont sans appel: en plaçant le Nouveau Front Populaire en tête des sièges à l’Assemblée Nationale, le peuple français s’est mobilisé pour défendre la République des dangers qui la guettaient.

Un moment historique, pour la France, et pour l’Europe! 🇪🇺🇫🇷

Au Parlement européen, les macronistes s’allient bien avec des alliés de l’extrême droite

300+ économistes (dont J Cagé, L Chancel, C Landais, E Saez, G Zucman etc.) soutiennent le programme NFP, car il est le seul à dire où trouver les ressources pour investir dans l'avenir: santé, formation, recherche, infrastructures etc.

Europeans should be able to save for their own pension, not for the pension of their bankers. That is why we contest the harmful deal on the new retail investment rules brokered by conservatives and liberals.

If we’re serious about #CapitalMarketsUnion, we need more savers to become investors. The status quo from the financial industry is not enough & change is needed.

France has yearned for an ambitious single market for capital that would get savings and investments flowing across the bloc — just like it does in the US.

But that dream pretty much lies in tatters.

Investiert in den Aktienmarkt, sagt die @FDP.
Wir machen es euch leichter, sagt die @FDP.

Wenn es aber darum geht Gebühren abzuschaffen, die Broker/Traderplattformen verlangen, stellt sich Herr #Lindner quer.
