Re: Importing my Car - DRL Question I took my car for inspection today @ one of the canadian tires authorized for inspection. I was told everything is ok except the DRL, in my car (2014 Camry) there's a feature for turning off the DRL. I was asked to go to the dealership to get the DRL to run...

Update : I had to go to the CBSA office at Kitchener Airport to clear my goods from the customs. Next thing is to arrange a move from upack to my new apartment :-)

Looks like I have to go to one at the Kitchener Airport. I was wondering if I have to make an appointment or show-up without one?

Do I save $$ if I combine my Auto / Renters insurance? I used to get that with Geico in US.

Thank You CDNPR2014. You saved my $$$. I was assuming that I needed to do the modification. I will go to another Canada Tire and check with them.

I went to a nearby Canadian Tire. I was asked to go to the Toyota dealer for converting ODO to read metric. I am sure dealer would be very expensive, do you guys know any better place than the dealer? It looks like there's just one Toyota dealer in the London area.

Hello, I have recently moved to London, ON. I have a good driving record (knock on the wood) of over 9 Years in US and I would like to know which insurance company provides good services and competitive rates for new comers. I will be driving in / around London, ON. Thank You.

I have sent my stuff with UPACK and gave copies of all the papers to upack guys. Three days later, upack guys from Buffalo, NY office called me and asked me to resend the copies of my passport and PR card to them , also the upack guy told me that I might have to go to the customs to clear my...

Thank You!! I have imported my car to London, ON. I would like to do the modification for my 2014 Camry. I guess, I just need to change the ODO to read KMs instead of Miles, are there any RIV authorized service center that I should go for the modification. I would like to know how to find such...

Cool. Thanks a lot.

It is very common, people move to different address and they don't update it on their passport. You can apply for PC by visiting Indian embassy, they might issue on the same day in about 2 hours or so. I think the embassy will have access to CBI database and they would search your name against...

Thank you guys for your useful input. Another question. I don't think my car has winter tires. Should I get the winter tires before taking it to the RIV inspection. Where would I get it cheaper (in US, tirerack.com or COSTCO gives competitive rates) and how much it would cost? I am also...

My car has odometer reading in miles Would that need to be replaced with a new one that shows in KMS, if yes, would the reading starts from 0 kms - I am not sure about this - Can someone help me understand this please?. However, I think I am otherwise good with other requirement such as...

I don't see any problem with that provided you have valid H4. In any case always carry your H4 approval notice (if you have one) along with a copy of your wife's I797, LCA and a copy of her latest pay-slip handy during the travel.

You can apply for a cash loan in some bank (in US before you leave your job here) that is equivalent to your balance on car payment and pay it off, that way your car is loan free and can be exported. You can finish your cash loan over time. However, interest rate will be more for the cash loans...

I am currently in the process of exporting my car to Canada. I called the bank and they didn't allow me to take it. Lien free car is one of the requirements for exporting the car unless your bank provides you a letter to take it to Canada and register it there while you still owe them. Also...

I think I vaguely remember, when landing, the officer at the airport told me to show this papers when you bring your stuff. However, I will be knowing that for sure when I move in next couple of weeks. I will update my experience in this forum on all the threads that I initiated when everything...

What's the best way to transfer my existing funds in my bank to Canadian bank? Am I entitled to get taxed for the transfer, are there any limit / cap for the transfer? I would also like to xfr the funds from my 401k to Canada; Is it possible to move funds from my 401k to RRSP directly? I have...

Posted my question there :)
