My friend's relative will send the PR cards and other documents like Health cards, SIN, Bank Statements etc to me once all of them arrived to his home. The weather was good. It was about 45F during the day and colder in the nights, but no snow in Calgary and Edmoton. It was snowing in Banff...

Ok guys, I am back in the US after a week long vacation/landing to Alberta. We visited Lethbridge, Calgary, Banff, Red Deer and Edmonton. We fell in love with Banff and for a bigger city, we liked Edmonton than Calgary. One thing we were shocked to learn that Alberta was much more expensive than...

Thanks guys. Today, I am staying in a hotel in Banff. I loved this place. If I can find a job here or find a way to start a small business, I would definitely live here. We also went up to Lake Louise. It was all covered with snow, but still beautiful. My kids loved playing snow near the lake...

I wish I could help, but I can't ask them to provide their address to somebody they do not know. They are not that close relatives of my friend. I am in Calgary and I am living in a hotel. If they were that close relatives, I would have lived in their home. We also did not want to bother them...

Finally, I made it. I am writing this from the hotel I am staying in Calgary. We crossed from Coutts, AB and it was a really pleasant experience. There were no questions about fund, not even a bank statement or how much money I am carrying. I was driving a rented car (GMC Yukon) and there were...

Congrats! Poppyjml for securing a good job. I am very happy for you. Thanks for the words of advice. We are landing tomorrow morning through Coutts, AB. We are leaving Utah in an hour and driving towards Alberta. We will be in AB for a week and will be back in the US for a couple of months and...

Thanks CCH and Links18. I am leaving Utah in an hour and heading towards Montana with a plan to enter Alberta tomorrow before lunch. It is snowing here and hope the road condition would not be too bad. Wish me luck guys!

For me, it was 60 days.

So you are saying I should take a rental car to make things easier? I am almost ready. I am leaving this Saturday and entering Alberta on Sunday Nov 15th. PMM, if you see my original message, would you please take a minute and give me some advice on whether to take a rental vehicle or own...

I am in a huge dilemma. I was going to rent a car and drive it to Alberta from Utah (10 hours to Coutts, AB) to make a smooth landing. I found an SUV from AVIS that will cost me $500 for a week. It is a standard SUV (Chevrolet Trailblazer or similar). We have been driving Toyota Sienna for a...

1. Have you able to find a decent job in Canada since moving there from the US or another country? 2. If you were able to find one, how long did it take for you to find that? 3. If you have not found one yet, how long have you been looking for it and how are your paying for all the expenses...

1. Has anyone able to find a decent job in Alberta since moving there from the US or another country? 2. If you were able to find one, how long did it take for you to find that? 3. If you have not found one yet, how long have you been looking for it and how are your paying for all the expenses?

65 days to get to your Canadian address OR the US address sent by your friend or family? I have no idea how one gets US driving history, but the license I am currently using has an issue date of 2001. Does that enough to get an Alberta license?

Congratulations! You said, "Driver license exchange from US at Service Ontario at Bay Street: It took me about 1 hour including waiting. 4-6 weeks to my address" Did they keep your US license OR give it back to you? If they gave you back, you are going to have two license in a month or so (one...

Congratulations to Tapak and good luck to Srini and Despo.

Congratulations! Despo. I think the person who got a similar message was Tapak.

Thanks aNewHope. I am thinking about renting a car too. I want to make the landing pain free. druckers, here you go: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b4-eng.pdf

May I ask you what you do (your profession)? I visited your website and you have got beautiful farm and house (and beautiful wife too). Loved your horses. How much did you pay for 160 acres of land in SK? I thought you came to SK as an investor with a lot of money?

manianz47, Thank you so much. You have been very helpful. You said, "For importing the car later - better have a valid / convincing reason." Wasn't my reasoning convincing? What do you think I should say?

I do not have H1 visa stamp in my passport either, but I have a travel document from the USCIS and I hope they are not going to cause any problems for me coming back into the country using it. CCH, when are you planning on moving? Are you driving or flying? If driving, which route?
