Getting sued shouldn't be a problem either. The disposition of civil cases should effect these types of things, unless maybe it is related to child support or something or you are in contempt of court. Just my opinion, best always to consult a qualified attorney though!

He is writing in Dutch to a fellow Dutch speaker asking him to email him directly if he likes for more discussion. Nothing wrong with that! Fathertee, ik kom niet uit Europa maar ik denk dat er een gemeenschap van Nederlandstalige mensen in Manitoba bestaat. Ik denk dat de meerderheid van hen...

It is not easy to find employment w/o speaking French. There are some Anglophone institutions in Montreal, like McGill and Concordia Universities, but even there most positions require biligual ability. My guess is that only very low skill low-pay jobs are available to non-French speakers in the...

Hello all, I just wanted to relay my experience driving a U.S. plated rental car into Canada as a landed permanent resident, as I know there is some confusion about this. I landed in February, but returned to the U.S. in preparation to move in September. I made a trip up to Canada last weekend...

If anyone finds themselves in that situation, you should really apply to the court to have the records expunged. The record of the arrest will not go away just becuase the charges were dropped or even if you were found not guilty. However, if you were found not guilty or the charges were...

Re: Driver's License Thanks! What if the U.S. license has recently expired? Can it generally still be exchaged for a Canadian license if one shows proof of driving experience? I realize that this will vary by province, but is there a general standard?

When first applying for a driver's liscence after landing in Canada, does one need to surrender one's current U.S. liscence to the Canadian authorities? How does that work? Do Canadian provinces and U.S. states share driver records? Would the province return the old U.S. liscence to the state of...

Will there be any problems qualifying for assurance maladie without the CSQ?

OK, cards arrived at the address yesterday. I was worrying about nothing I guess......... Thanks all!

No, It's a Canadian address. Really strange.....

Hmm, can't seem to call that number from the US. Is there another number for people outside of Canada? Thanks!

OK, several weeks later and it still shows the old address on the web. Is this normal?

Anyone there?

Hello, I landed two weekends ago and I gave the officer a temporary Ottawa address for forwarding my permanent residence card. I checked CCI web services last week and although the landing is showing up, the new address isn't. It still has my attorney's address. I tried to update the address...

How does the car insurance system in Manitoba compare to Ontario?

My partner and I landed at the Peace Bridge crossing on Saturday night. The entire process went very smoothly and took only about 15 mins. The immigration officer asked if we have ever been convicted of a crime, if we had ever been asked to leave Canada or been denied entry and if we had any...

I have my permanent resident visa under federal skilled workers. I was planning to go to Winnipeg, but may have a change of circumstances and might have to live in Quebec for a year or so in order to commute to New York every week. I understand I cannot land in Quebec, but will I encounter any...

Hmm, I have Adobe Acrobat. I will see if I can make it work... Thanks!

Yes, you can give a friend's address--you can use CIC's website to do so. You need to be in Canada 2 years out of 5 years to maintain residency.

Does anyone know if the Settler's Effects documents--the ones you use to declare goods you are bringing with you and goods that are to follow when you land--is available in a "fill-in Pdf" format, or do you have to print them out and complete them by hand or typewriter? Thanks!
