    Driving a U.S. Plated Car in Canada

    1. Probably not much if the car is considered settler's effects for a new resident. Maybe you have to pay the RIV fee and the associated costs to get it to pass the RIV and provincial inspection, but that shouldn't be much if the car is new. But you probably won't be able to officially export...

    Soft landing now and later with a cat

    Include him on your goods to follow list. A cat is personal property under the law. How do you value him? I don't know. I'd write "priceless."

    NEED A PRO!

    Possibly. But no use spending energy on that right now. Get a lawyer and focus on proving that when you immigrated it was a legitimate relationship.

    The main purpose of Canadian citizenship is just to move to US?

    Surely, you are not serious. The more likely outcome is a society stratified something like this: a cosmopolitan relatively borderless life for the very rich, a semi-trans-national professional class with multiple citizenship and immigration privileges, an increasingly angry and marginalized...

    The main purpose of Canadian citizenship is just to move to US?

    I think having a public debate about what citizenship means is a perfectly legitimate topic for a democratic society. If Canadians are worried that people are exploiting their immigration and citizenship programs in ways that do not benefit Canada then they are perfectly entitled to raise their...

    The main purpose of Canadian citizenship is just to move to US?

    Oh, plenty of people care. The CONS made it part of their election campaign last time. They lost, but that kind of thing has its audience still.

"Collecting citizenships" for the purposes of professional, tech and consultant labor mobility purposes is already fairly...

    Traveling in order to be processed

    Yes, your husband would need proof of funds, sponsorship, etc. whatever is required for his immigration class. You should look into what is needed for customs purposes. It might be a little different for you, because I think you would be considered a "returning resident"for customs purposes...

    Traveling in order to be processed

    As you are a Canadian citizen, you do not need to be processed by immigration other than to verify your citizenship. Your husband would have to go through the landing procedure, but it is nothing major if his documents are in order. Then you will have to go to customs, where you should be...

    Does an accident on US driver license affect your insurance in Canada?

    It depends on what the insurance company asks you when issuing coverage. If you lie or omit material facts on your insurance application that is grounds for a future claim to be refused or even charges for insurance fraud. Do they have access to US records? Maybe. They usually ask you for a...
