    Converting us money to canadian

    Hello there, I moved from the US last year to Canada. Moving money from US to Canada was a little challenging. There are multiple ways you can do that though. The way I initially did it while moving to Canada for good was, I got a certified (cashier's) check from Bank of America and brought...

    Payments to law firms

    I did my entire PR process through Campbell Cohen's firm. I lived in the US at the time so it was easy for me to deal with them. They are 100% genuine and completely reliable. Not sure if you know or not but www.canadavisa.com is also owned and managed by them. Very honest, upfront and will...

    Can you get H1B if you have got Canadian PR visa

    Just to clarify though... having Canadian PR doesn't give you any priority. You'll still have to go through the lottery system that everybody else goes through. Good luck!!

    B1/B2 visa issued in India, can I use it to travel from Canada to the US

    Dear Forum Members, I have a valid B1/B2 visa that was issued in India (through my then employer) few years ago and is still valid. I have to go to the US for 5 days for a conference. I am not sure if I can still use the same visa or if I need to apply for another one just because I have now...

    Smooth Landing.. please advice on work

    You'll first have to tell about your profession, number of years of experience, etc. If you are in IT or any other profession for that matter, I would highly recommend that you create/update your LinkedIn profile and start looking for jobs through LinkedIn. A lot of people underestimate the...

    security clearance in ottawa

    Security Clearance is something that you the applicant never applies for. It's the employer who does that. And No, not all jobs (government or private, regardless of city) require security clearance. Mostly Defense related jobs where you may have access to Secret or Top Secret files, a...

    Sending passport to CIC Ottawa

    That's a shame that they don't allow any other company other than Canada Post. Anyway, if that's the only option then go ahead and use Canada Post for return shipment.

    Sending passport to CIC Ottawa

    I would also like to add that don't look at how much it will cost you to ship your passports. This is a one time thing, if you find FedEx or UPS to be expensive then don't worry about it. Their service is top notch. I would definitely NOT use USPS. Again, this is based on my own personal...

    Sending passport to CIC Ottawa

    Hello, 1. Yes, you can send via any shipping company but I would use FedEx. Having used FedEx for many years, I personally trust them the most. I got my processing done through a law firm in Canada and I sent my passports to them via FedEx. No issues at all. And yeah, I also lived in the...

    Can i apply for visa to US as Tourist (TWP from India)??

    Anyone can apply for US visa no matter where you are (of course not if you are a North Korean or Cuban or from any such country). However, whether you are eligible or not will only be decided once visa officer reviews your application. Just by being in Canada doesn't guarantee that you will...

    Unless you have some very specific talent that is high in demand in Canada, don't expect to get any call from Canada.

    Proof of funds at port of entry

    For the purpose of clarification, it is NOT true that bank statements are only accepted if they are from Canadian Bank(s). I moved from the US and brought only $300 in cash and rest was all in Bank Statements (Bank of America). I did not face any issue at the border while entering Canada and...

    Landing with KID in canada What about car seat?

    Janey, nobody is questioning whether child seats are safe or not. The OP asked whether it is "required" to carry a seat while traveling in a taxi. The answer is 'No'. I think he is mature enough to understand the consequences of not carrying a car seat. Moreover, most countries don't even...

    Landing with KID in canada What about car seat?

    Don't worry about the car seat. Law doesn't require you to carry a car seat while using public transport (both in the US and Canada), be it bus or a taxi. I have lived in both countries (for more than 7 years combined) and have travelled with my son many times in public transport without...

    About Driving License

    Trick, yes you can. That's what I did too. I'd also applied from Canada. You can either call them or go to their (DMV) website (Search Google for website name). Either way, you'll have to fill out a form and send it over to them. There is a specific fee ($30 OR $40, don't remember exactly)...
