I dont think there is one. They want to see an 'abstract' of your driving record provided by your licensing office OR consulate. This report will list when you was first licensed, what changes you made to it, any tickets, and most importantly if it is currently active. Remember in Ontario it has...

I have cable and for some reason I get local news from Detroit (and I live in Toronto). Based on what I see on their everyday local news they do have a big problem with crime, specially in some extremely rundown suburbs. The mayor is talking about demolishing complete neighborhoods because all...

wow at least you got the thing you wanted the most in your life! you will not be disappointed having your children growing up and live as canadians. you will also live a much better life here. Im happy for you.

I understand completely the terminology of a resident of canada (holding canadian driver's license) not been allowed to drive a US plated car everyday, BUT there must be a period of time a canadian resident is allowed to drive the car with us plates after he/she became resident, otherwise it...

thanks. I have not imported when I landed (came by plane) but the car is listed on my goods to follow list, it was stamped by the imm officer at landing. If it is in my goods to follow list, I don't have to pay taxes in any case right? the issue is that I'm driving the car from Georgia to...

I read two times now (in forum posts) that as a canadian PR I'm not supposed to drive US car with US license plates on, is that true? If it is, where does it says it's not? I'm in the process of bringing my car in Canada from the USA. To get the car titled in Ontario you first have to drive the...

Thought of the day: "You don't want to do anything wrong, you may get yourself in trouble for nothing."

when do we file tax return here in canada? I landed 3 weeks ago do I have to file? What is the deal with this GST tax? thanks

mmm this is a tricky one. Im also researching about how to export/import my car from the us to canada. I think what they want to know and what you should have with you is proof that you car is safe and if any recalls where issued to your car the recall work was carried out. if most cases, no...

a lot of people do what you done. when you really move to canada, you will have to apply for the card...

I just landed 3 weeks ago. To land, with you, you should have about 1500 CAD (or more) in cash. You can bring original bank statements to show to the officer at landing that you have MORE THAN IT IS REQUIRED. It does not have to meet how much money you said you have available before. at...

the best for you to inquire with an official source (like your local canadian consulate) you did not even explained what type of visa are you talking about. As a "world" general rule, a visa that is valid for longer than the passport expiration date can be used provided that you travel with both...

I was surprised to see the topic I opened 3 months ago being active recently. I'm happy to say everything went just fine. I landed in Canada two weeks ago and last monday I passed the driving test and got my Ontario DL! Love Canada!

Hi It will not be an issue. What matters is that you are allowed to be where you are now, in another words you must be legally allowed to be in the place where you are living now. What CIC office is your application being processed? If you overstay you visa in the USA this will happen: - if...

Guys: I'm also facing this issue of not having an address when I land (besides hotel) Do not give this ups masked po box to CIC saying thats where you live, this would be misrepresentation, why take the risk? If you have to leave and cant wait for your PR, when you need to come back pay 50...

pls be very careful when dealing with properties from craigslist ads. there are lots of people scamming new immigrants, so do your research and investigate all you can about the ad. oh, and never pay deposit without seeing some ID.

Hi everyone, I'm reading a lot of people posting comments saying the proof of funds during landing have to be in CASH or money order or something similar, they are saying it is not OK to show bank statements. I don't plan on taking the risk of waking around with that much money on me and...

You can always leave at least 1 bank account with credit card opened in your home country, you can later call or mail your request to close the account from Canada. Speak with your bank before you leave to make sure how can you do this.

Thanks guys! In Ontario, you can only exchange licenses (eye test required) if your license is from USA, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria and Belgium, not my case. I was thinking of having to settle in another province just because of this license issue...
