    'Permanently' importing car into Canada after PR

    I could not find a source for you and some other posts that I came across talked about exporting procedure with the U.S. before importing the car into Canada. In my case though, I just showed up at the border and was able to do the import process at the CBS office. They did not ask for any...

    How to do flagpoling at Sarnia- port of entry?

    You do not need a U.S. Visitor visa for flagpoling. However, you would have to get to the U.S. border and tell the officer that your flagpoling (turning around and returning to Canada). They would do their paperwork which would say something along the lines of volunteer denial entry (this would...

    Auto Insurance....

    I used Statefarm in the U.S. and Desjardins in Ontario had the best rate, not because Statefarm in Canada is Desjardins now though! Yes, your U.S. driving history matters in obtaining insurance here as your U.S. drivers license history matters in obtaining one in Canada.

    Dependent Applicant SIN was not issued

    It happened with me and according to Service Canada it was not too uncommon. What happens is if for any reason your normal application doesn't go through, they have to paper-fill one and mail it which takes time. You will receive it in a few weeks don't worry. I needed it rather urgently to get...

    Confusion regarding Address and travel history

    Since your country of residence is Canada, any trip to your home county is considered as travel so I would mention it in Travel History.

    'Permanently' importing car into Canada after PR

    Your case is somewhat unique but I know you have 45 days to pay the RIV fee and get the inspection done on your car for permanent import. I do not think you have to "formally export" the car from the US. My understanding (from my own experience) was that once the car is imported into Canada, it...

    Ray of Hope - 123rd Draw

    Also, if you feel you have to explain something, an explanation letter along with the application (they give you an option to upload an explanation letter) goes a long way. Mention everything to the best of your knowledge and as reflected in your employment letter. That way, you make your point...

    Ray of Hope - 123rd Draw

    The employment letter should mention the average hours you worked per week. If that averages out to be 20 hours a week (average over the duration of your job with that employer), it is a part time work. I would make a table, put down everything, calculated averages, and get employment letters...

    Investing Opportunities

    You mean active income such as rent? So the real state depends on where you live/want to invest. For example, for a two bedroom condo (about a 1000 sq.ft.) in a metropolitan city such as Toronto or Vancouver would cost you close to a million dollars (or more) and would rent for about $2500 a...
