This is an interesting topic for me because after I (hopefully) get PR I plan to keep my current US job (I work remotely as well) at least until we get good and settled and my wife and I can get jobs in Canada...this way the steady income keeps flowing during the process. I will also have to...

In order for your PR wife to meet the residency obligation to maintain her PR, she must be physically present in Canada for a minimum of 730 days within the past five (5) years. Alternatively if she has been a PR for less than 5 years (as it seems may be the case based on your talk about the...

Cool. It makes sense that you can...at least up until you officially land.

JayPinNC: Awesome! My vehicle is a Honda made for US standards and so the Speedometer has both...so that works. As for the DRLs...that's what I figured it meant but I just wanted to clarify. That would have to be fixed. The lights do come on automatically when it is dark, even when in the...

Hi Steaky, I'm guessing you mean a personal loan. The thought did cross my mind. That would clear the title issue. The only thing that concerns me with that is that as a newcomer with no established credit it might be hard to get a personal loan for enough money to cover it without having...

Thanks, viveksharma! It seems it went smoothly. It is something to consider as an option. ;D

This was an excellent post that I'm sure has helped many. Kudos on a job well done! I do have a question not covered though. Once you receive your COPR and are able to land, can you still come into Canada as a visitor without landing? I am a US Citizen and as such do not need a visa to...

You were importing your vehicle from the US, correct? Did you have to change out your speedometer for a metric one or is it sufficient if you have MPH and in smaller numbers it also has KM/H? Also...by daytime running lights I assume this means that your headlights are always on when the car...

Here is something I have been thinking about. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation. I am a US Citizen who has applied for Canadian PR under the FSW program. My App was received at the CIO in Sydney Dec 24, 2014. I got my PER email March 22, 2015. I already know that...

I have read some of the posts about importing a vehicle to Canada. I have been thinking on how to deal with this as I have a vehicle that I am still paying on that I would want to import into Canada from the USA. The problem is that as I have read about in my research, you have to have the...

Why stay away from RBC? Did you have a bad experience? Please share. From looking at the websites, I noticed that in their Newcomer package they include auto loans. Apparently TD doesn't do auto loans. Something to consider. I haven't looked into Scotia...I'll have to read up on their...

I know this is an old post, but if you get this message, I am curious...did you end up landing by train? If so, how did it go?

That's what I figured. Thanks!

When you get your COPR how long do you have to land? I have heard different things. One thing I heard was that you have a year. Another place I saw that it is only 1 year from the date of your Medical Exam. Thanks. :)
