I was able to export the car from the US. I entered Canada on a work visa, can I still import it? At the border I was told that I cannot import the car since my stay is for less than 3 years. My work visa is valid for 2 years. Please clarify.

That is excellent. I can open a PO Box right away and then apply for the SIN. Thanks very much for the replies.

I entered Canada on a work visa and currently staying at a hotel. I want to apply for a SIN, health card, bank account etc. Can I apply for these and give my hotel address?? Or do I have to wait to get into a apartment and give them my house address? Thanks.

Were you able to import the car successfully? What steps did you have to take? I am in a similar situation as yours, so please let me know how to proceed.

I have moved from the US to Canada on a work permit and would like to know my next steps. I have listed a few that I am aware of, please confirm if they are correct and if they are in the right order. 1) Apply for SIN so I can start working and get paid. Can I apply for one before I find a...

I believe proof of funds is not very important as you already have a job.

If I enter Canada using a work permit (intra-company transferee), is there a minimum number of hours I need to work for me to keep the permit active? Why I ask is for a H1B work visa in the US, you need to be working full-time or 40 hours per week to keep it active. Is there any similar rule in...

If I move from USA to Canada with a Canadian TWP (Temporary work permit), can I bring goods (furniture, car, household electronics etc) with me? Is it any different if I have my PR first and then move to Canada? If I plan to apply for a PR after I start working in Canada, does it change anything?

That's a good way to look at it and it is good to have a backup plan. Thanks for the replies jes_ON & Leon, I have learned quite a lot about the "Arranged employment" options in the last 24 hours.

Thanks for the excellent and very detailed reply. You have given me a very good picture. To conclude, it looks like Option (1) where I wait for the PR before I start working, is a longer process and it involves the employer getting an AEO (LMO is not required). It looks like AEO involves less...

I have a job offer in Canada from a multinational firm. I am interested in getting the PR. I do not have to join right away though, so which of the below options would be ideal way to apply for the PR? (Mine is an IT related job which is NOT in the list of occupations in demand). Option (1)...

Just from a job point of view, are there plenty of jobs currently available in BC? I was under the impression that the economy has reduced the number of available jobs in Canada. Isn't that the reason Alberta reduced the occupations for their H1B based program? Please clarify if the situation...
