Re: Are Canadians less accepting of immigrants who don't fit stereotypes? I guess to get a true answer to this question, "Canadians" and "immigrants" would have to be defined. With Canada being such a "new" country, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a stereotypical Canadian as many first...

Thanks for clearing that up. I always wondered if it was some "special" UK/Canada deal or something.

OT..but curious...... Back in 1978, my sister sponsored my (British) Mother in order that she could emigrate to Ontario and have open heart surgery done in Toronto. They wouldn't do the surgery in Scotland due to the risk involved (mostly her age). I have always been curious as to why she was...

If you have a US Bank of America account, withdrawals at Bank Of Nova Scotia are free, I believe.

CDN/US Citizen moving back to Ontario from California. If/when I sell my home in US, what is the protocol for moving the funds to a Canadian financial institution for the the purpose of buying a residence in Canada? Should the US bank account be declared when re-entering Canada even though the...

Last month when I passed through Canada Customs in London, Ontario. I was telling the agent I planned to move back to Canada soon. After explaining what was required of me, he said not to itemize everything in every box. Example he gave was "Tools" is fine and that I didn't have to list 2...

Thanks cg, as always, your insight is much appreciated :-*

Thanks links:) cg, I searched the DMV but couldn't find an answer. If I bought a 5th Wheel and parked it in an RV park, would that fall under the same deal, allowing me to leave it in the US, with US plates, after relocating to Ontario? I'm also assuming that after I go through the process...

You left when you were two years old?

I just got some quotes from a few different movers. They seem to average around the $2500 mark to ship 200 cu.ft. of cargo from California to London, Ontario. I'll likely rent a Penske 16' truck and drive across country, for three main reasons: 1)More space...Truck holds about 800cu.ft...

Not sure which major US and CDN banks are affiliated with each other. Before moving back to Canada, I plan on leaving some $$$ in my BOA acct as I know that ATM withdrawals from it are free at Scotiabank.

Thanks again for all the helpful replies cg. :-*

The car in question is a 1990 Jaguar, that on a good day, might be worth $1,000, so it may end up not even being an issue. Thanks again for the reply, cg.

Thanks cg. I'll go with whatever CBSA says. Another option would be to drop the car off in Port Huron and have my son in Sarnia drive me back over the border next day to pick it up. Maybe I will call CBSA and ask if a permanent resident of Canada can drive his US plated car in and out of...

After 30 years in Canada, I spent the majority of the last 10 years in US, during which time I obtained US citizenship. I will be returning to, and making, Ontario my place of residence within the next six months. I plan to rent a U-haul (w/car trailer) to transport personal belongings and a...
