You can use your HK license rather than an international one if you want. What cars did you test drive out of interest?

Hi all, I am a new PR and will land from a customs perspective in February. My wife is a Canadian Citizen and will be returning to live there - she's been out of the country over 5 years. Does anyone know if she also has to complete a BSF186 form or if we can group all of our goods together...

Hi there I am not an expert with PRTD but they aren't an automatic right, i.e. you don't just apply and they stamp your passport and of you go. The consulate actually review your case. As it appears your PR has already gone to secondary review they will find this out when you go through the...

will do, I'm not finding it easy actually. I've reached out to a load of dealerships and ask for the discounts and they keep telling me it depends on the sales person. Oh well keep trying I'll post when i sort it out

Hi Hammer, unfortunately, my name is misleading, I created it because i had a question myself rather than being an expert on COPR's You could always try calling CIC or CBSA to ask them or just wait for someone to answer here. might be an idea to create a separate post though so people can see...

I'm with you on this, seems to be a very elaborate story and one with so many lose ends that just don't tie up

Actually, it is a very similar process to Canada and I actually looked into it as I'm British and my wife is Canadian. I can't remember the exact details but you have to have to prove you have a job paying at least GBP 18k or have GBP 60k in liquid savings. Call up one of the immigration...

you can find a list here, www.google.ca just type in recruitment agencies in "city name" good luck

thanks for that, I had a good look through and couldn't find what i'd been told either, guess if it is the case i can pay up front and then get the rebate.

I was only there for 2 weeks, I actually 'landed' to activate my Pr but actually entered as a visitor, this allowed me to do my entry from a customs point of view when i go back in february

No worries, i can answer question one and two, the third one I'm not confident in answering as it's different to my experience. 1. the 'interview' is basically just to go through your documents, no trick questions so don't worry. they will ask if you have an address to send your PR card to, you...

answered you in another post but as Steaky mentions as well best to double check if there is a tax treaty between India and Canada

You're given a tax credit for the amount you've already paid in your home country and then this is taken into account when you Canadian tax is calculated.

I did the same, what are your questions?

I think this may be a question for the forum on www.ukvisa.com ;)

Thanks Rossei, appreciate the clarification Overall it was a great post and very useful. My question certainly wasn't trying to point out an error just to gain clarification for my own circumstances. +1

hi there, thanks for that. The confusion I had was that someone said that the insurance discount wouldn't apply unless I had a BC license. For example if I buy a car now (2 months before moving) and insure it, I will have to pay the full insurance, no discount. Once I move and get a BC license...

Sorry, I don't think you read my question. Thanks anyway

thanks foodie, I will be getting a BC licence but looking onto buying the car before I arrive so it's waiting for us rather than hiring and the buying. I've got the evidence from HK of no claims. it was more the point on the discount but guess I'll find out when I arrive.

Hi All, Quick question on car insurance. I understand that I can buy, register and insure a car before arriving in British Columbia. However, ICBC won't give me any discount on insurance until I have a BC driving license. Is that correct? Thanks
