That's very unfortunate indeed. I'm guessing it will be fast from now on as they are definitely getting closer to the 12 mo mark.

The nice thing about VOs (except CPC-M) is that you can actually email them. Have you emailed them about it?

It's also where you live. I lived in US so the last part was processed by Ottawa and not in Europe.

There are few times in life where refundable tickets are useful. This is one of them.

It may depend on the VOs. My app went through Mississauga and I uploaded digital copies of all of my PCCs.

This is probably a good idea anyway since you will need to fill out a form where they expect you to write down all your travels.. unless you have a way to know these dates exactly you will want to request this anyway. I definitely remember having a hard time pinpointing some days when I traveled...

Unless there's a strong reason to not reprint I don't see why you wouldn't do it..

Low risk is sort of a broad criteria no? Then it depends if they need to do extra background checks, etc based on the history of the applicant, previous life history or previous encounters with the judicial system. The important part is to be aware that they give you an estimate of 12 mo, so...

Several people have had multiple communications like those. I guess they're still trying to figure out what can be processed at CPC-M or not...

Yes for most people but may not be for a small group. Still early to know...

I guess the point is that CPC-M does not issue PPRs/CoPRs so the last mile is always done by another VO.

January will mean they will do most of the year in Ottawa. That's potentially nicer for integrating in the new school system... You should get in touch with potential schools to see how much it matters where you will live as you are supposed to go to a school in your district.

It issues the CoPR at the end.

The main point here being that unless you are selling your stocks/assets and made a profit, you aren't going to be taxed given you aren't making any profit. If you have savings account until you release them you also are not profiting, so, not taxable. The tricky thing with savings accounts is...

Then after 6 months how much will you pay? I tried to open an account at Tangerine but without a Canadian photo id you can't so not good if you need a bank asap. Doesn't make sense for me have 5k blocked just to get a CC or no fees on a bank account.. but does seem to be one of the few options.

Thanks for the heads up, saves me quite a bit of time. Did you need to provide a driving history from US? My goal was to swap my US license. How did it take you to get the license in the end? I want to open an account with Tangerine but they won't let me until I have any form of photo ID issued...

Has anyone gone through the process of exchanging their license for a QC one with SAAQ? Apparently I will need to setup an appointment, cannot simply show up at SAAQ, is this true?

Is it that expensive to check extra bags? if it's only suitcases...

Unless you are emotionally attached to some stuff I don't think it makes sense to move things across the ocean. :) it's not like electronics or other house ware are very expensive in Canada. :) You can initially fly critical stuff and ship by boat the as goods to follow. They don't care what you...

Can't get same quality of sushi (or fish) in Toronto though ;)
