I just landed last weekend and was advised by the officer to place my car on the B4a form (even though I was not initially planning on importing it at all). Anyway, I was informed that if I do decide to import it, I have to keep the vehicle for one full year in order to not pay tax on the...

CONGRATULATIONS NITZAN900!!!!!! ALL THE BEST TO YOU!!

All I can tell you is from my own experience from my landing this past weekend. I listed my vehicle on the B4a form and was told by the officer that if I do bring it over, I need to keep it for at least one year if I do not want to pay tax. My vehicle is not a new vehicle, however, this is just...

It's ok.....we didn't know either! And I didn't find this forum until AFTER submitting my paperwork. I think CIC should reference this forum on their applications ;) ;) I think you should be able to go online and pay the RPRF online and then submit the receipt or copy of online receipt. Did you...

No problem! Anytime! I just hope it helps! Anytime you want to blow off some steam, you know where to find us ;) Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help :)

And there is this one, too! http://211toronto.ca/nc_main.jsp

Hey UsCa, If you go to this link.....then scroll to page 39- there are some groups listed there, by region. I'm sure there will be something that you might find suitable. Have you thought about volunteering or signing up for any recreational activities? Those are also good ways to meet...

We didn't pay the RPRF upfront, either, and it did delay our application. I would get that fee paid as soon as possible.

I'm from the US, as well! Where abouts if you don't mind me asking? May I also ask what province you landed? There are a number of groups that offer services to newcomers. A lot of them offer things such as work training/language courses/financial training, etc but they also offer support...

Awww...UsCa.....I'm sorry to hear that!! Don't worry...it will get better :) If you plan on working, that will help as well...you'll be able to get out of the house and work towards goals/etc. Have you looked into any community groups that are out there for newcomers?

So, you don't even have your # yet, correct, as opposed to just not having your card? Do you know how long it can take to receive your SIN card? I only ask because I certainly want to work asap lol :) I'm sure you won't be waiting too long! Sorry this happened to you :)

I'd love to find this out, as well, as I'll be going tomorrow to get my SIN. You did sign the COPR and the officer, filled out the sections they were responsible for, correct?

I'm not sure if this will help but since I am a US Citizen and we are visa exempt, as well, I thought I'd share. Though, I'm sure someone else can confirm for you. I was in your situation many times in the past and what I did was drive to the border, cross into the US, cross right back into...

Thanks Parker! I worked on the B4 form, prior. However, I am not bringing anything in with me when landing as we are just "flagpoling". I filled in and checked some boxes but did not have much to write. Atleast, if I'm completing that form correctly :) Would you know...on the B4 form it mentions...

And I would recommend calling twice to make sure they have the address change. I was awaiting the arrival of my COPR and had notified CPP-O of my address change in Canada (as I had been here for years on a visitor's record). Also called CIC to confirm they had the appropriate information. Also...

Thanks so much IvanP!! It kind of worked out well, actually. We are not having it courriered. Neighbors of ours from Cleveland were actually traveling to see their family here in Ontario, who happen to live a few streets away from us and they offered to bring the COPR to me :) So, I will be...

Thanks for understanding and for easing my mind :) All the best to you!!

First, you will send the whole package (all paperwork together) as one package to Mississauga. Secondly, if you are applying outland (and I only speak from my own experiences), as a US Citizen you could go to the border (if you're driving in) and bring your paperwork with you (even if it's not...

Canuck20- I have one more stupid question, please. The kitchen appliances, etc that I will be bringing over...they are an accumulation of gifts that were given to us over time throughout our marriage/this process so majority of items are unopened and still in original box. Can I still go ahead...
