There are a few insurers who will take into account your driver's abstract from the UK, but they are few and far between. Otherwise you'll pay through the nose for around a year until you've got some Canadian driving experience. It's insane, but that's how it's done. If you google "UK driving...

Dead link. Try this one http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

Order your GCMS notes. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/...rsonal.asp ATIP = "Access To Information and Privacy". If you are inside Canada, there is no fee. If you are outside Canada, you must have someone inside Canada order the notes on your behalf. It will take precisely 30 days...

I hope you don't get Agent Barossa. Really unpleasant woman.

I don't agree that flagpoling will cause issues when crossing the border in future (based on research and calling a US immigration office). It's an administrative refusal, not a "real" refusal and doesn't need to be declared when you cross the border in future. Declaring your administrative...

Yes it is! Congratulations! :D

Not a terribly helpful answer but we've been waiting since March 29 so just over a month now and no sign of it yet.

Ours took 6 days (including the weekend) to arrive just east of Toronto.

Yep, that's the last thing that happens before DM. Congrats!

It's supposed to start from the date on your COPR but that is rarely the case. They are more likely to go by the date you landed. You can try to argue this point (we tried but the woman wouldn't listen and just pointed at her form which said "landing date" or something similar). OHIP website and...

I would also recommend ordering your GCMS notes at least once, if not twice, during the process.

Can I ask what quote you got, if you don't mind? I'm sitting on a chunk of GBP and waiting for the rates to improve. Thanks

That's helpful information Michty. I've had good rates and customer service with Smart Currency Exchange as well.

It's enough to make you want to scream, and/or drink. There's nothing wrong with rules, I just can't comprehend why they are (mis)understood and (mis)applied so commonly across the entire system. Yesterday I submitted a formal complaint to CBSA regarding the ridiculously rude and incompetent...

The fee came in around $1,040 I think. SIN and OHIP are mutually exclusive in that you don't need one to help you get the other. OHIP was a pain in the rear because they insisted on a utility bill or other formal communication with my husband's name and Canadian address on it. That's pretty...

You'll have to wait til Monday :-( OHIP can be done on Saturdays though (at least where we live).

Yes it's normal for the one copy of the COPR to have a photo and the other one not to have a photo. You might want to bring something with your address on it as well. We were asked for something with our address but not sure if it was simply to help the agent enter the address in their system...

Wonderful news! Congratulations!! :)

Congratulations!!! :D

Thank you very much! :)
