    First, get a Canadian passport. Then check Canada Border Services Agency website for the forms you will need to move your stuff across the border.

    How Incompetent is CRA?

    So, compared to other nation's revenue services, just how bad is Canada Revenue Agency? I have been trying to get a Certificate of Coverage under the Canada Pension Plan for about 2 months now. I mailed the request, no response. Called and was told they never received it. Faxed the request...

    PR address

    They ask you for an address to forward the PR card when you land at the port of entry. You can either give them an address or tell them you don't have one and enter it later via the Internet. You only have a limited amount of time to enter an address after you land or the card will no longer be...

    PR address

    If the address you give at landing for the PR card differs from the destination in Canada listed on your confirmation of permanent residence documents, they may question you about the discrepancy; although there is nothing that says you can't give an address in Canada other than the destination...

    Can someone give me advise?

    You just fill out a B4 as you would if you were driving it across yourself. Give a copy to the ABF driver when he/she picks up the trailer, but keep the original for yourself. When the shipment arrives in Canada, you take your original to the closest customs office to obtain clearance before...

    Prohibited from Entering United States

    Hi, I have been reading a lot about Canadians who are refused entry to the United States for various reasons, i.e. a previous criminal conviction or what not. What is it like to live in Canada, but be prohibited from entering the United States? What type of inconvience does this cause? For...

    CBSA Inspection when leaving Canada?

    If you watch that episode of That 70s Show you will notice the map of Canada on the wall behind them when they are in the station getting grilled by the RCMP shows Nunavut as already in existence in the 1970s. Talk about your anachronisms! Does anyone know what the writers for that show's...

    Consequences for making false immigration accusations

    Umm, why don't you file a civil lawsuit against the guy if he is causing that much distress? Or better yet, change your phone number and just don't listen to him anymore. If he lives in a different country than you, I can't imagine it would be that difficult to ignore him. If he refuses to leave...

    CBSA Inspection when leaving Canada?

    Does CBSA ever conduct inspections of people leaving Canada by land or air? I recently drove into Canada from the states, US CBP had put cones across the road at the border, requiring you to enter U.S. customs and undergo an inspection before entering Canada. I have never had that happen before...

    Tolerance of atheist views in Vancouver

    Much like the U.S., people in large cities tend to be secular, while religion can still be fairly well entrenched in rural areas. Manitoba for instance has an NDP provincial government, but you wouldn't expect it if you talked only to people who live outside Winnipeg, unless of course they are...

    Out of status/Misdemeanor charge in USA

    If the charge was expunged then it is no longer officially "on your record" and won't show up on state or FBI criminal background checks. Generally, charges are only expunged if you were found not guilty, the charges were dropped or otherwise not prosecuted. You should double check, because a...

    Can someone give me advise?

    Try ABF, U-PACK. You load and unload the trailer, but they take care of the driving. You give the driver a copy of your B-4 when they come pick up the trailer and they deal with customs crossing the border.

    U.S. citizen, Canadian PR, wanting to keep U.S. plates on seasonal car

    Why would you be opening yourself up to prosecution? Whether or not you residence is Canada or the United States is open to interpretation. In fact, you may be deemed a resident of both places simultaneously. You hold an Ontario drivers' license, which suggests CBSA will deem you a Canadian...
