Odd question to post here, but don't know where else on the net to ask. Canada has descent internet, but it is still not as fast and unlimited as it is in other parts of the world. Does anyone know of a place with super fast internet in Montreal where I could upload/backup about 200 GB of data...

Tried that, but the forum errored by saying it can't report my own post ... I also tried to locate an admin through the search a user feature of the forum, but alas, can't filer on admins, and couldn't get to find an admin in there.

How can I remove an outdated thread, started by me, on Canada Visa? Thanks!

In theory, to keep a PR status one needs 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period in Canada. However, the Bill-C24 confuses me in that it mentions: New residency requirements of 4 years (1,460 days) out of 6 years for citizenship eligibility Permanent Residents must be physically present in...

This is off-topic, and I didn't want to get into this rant, but ... regardless of the amount of homework, there is no way knowing before moving to NS the examiner's systematically find bogus reasons to fail newcomers. Every test is money in the pocket of the province and employment for an...

A VOID cheque is actually on their list of acceptable items.

Would a mail forwarding service with a physical (not PO BOX) address work? We can print a void cheque, easy to do in online banking. Change address in online banking, and print the void cheque. Then when it is finished, change it all back. But we still need a second piece of "residence"...

We are from the Netherlands and have landed in Nova Scotia in January. Our driver's license can not be exchanged, whilst it can be exchanged in other provinces, such as New Brunswick. Since our 90 days are up, we are looking at other provinces, and apparently it is possible to have our license...

Sears = Chase = denied because not enough credit history. Claim to need at least one year before they'd approve their amazon card, so it'll be the same for Sears. Hudson Bay = Capital one = they say (so I have not tried) newcomers need to get one of their secured credit cards for a while before...

Does anyone have a list of which non secured credit cards are available to newcomers in order to build a credit history? I have Scotiabank Momentum free through their startright program and RBC through their newcomers program. Does anyone know of other non secured + no credit check credit cards...

Called in today, and for me it was option 3. +1 613 944 4000 (options 1111131 to connect to agent) They should have a number for people who call using VOIP, newcomers especially do not necessarily have a landline or cell to call, and phone boxes are not necessarily the most secure way to answer...

Edited my original post for the location: Nova Scotia. I wasn't aare there were state specific differences. So, are there any Newcomers to Nova Scotia without driving history in USA or Canada but with a long driving history in Europe that had a good treatment with a particular insurer?

I'm wondering if anyone can share who they used for their newcomer's car insurance? Or if anyone found an insurer that would accept previous out of canada & us driving years/experience? EDIT: location in Nova Scotia

I would like to know at which bank I can open a business account online/by mail, without having to go into a branch in person? Thanks!

Great! so we can put a list together showing the correct values rather then lower the values to limit import duty :)

Somehow I didn't get the email notification there was a reply to my post. So a little late, thank you PaddyO & keesio!

Are the items which I already own and wish to import shortly after I become a permanent resident from living abroad subject to duty? I mean clothing, books, cd's, furniture, washing machine, etc. which I have owned for some considerable time, and which I will have shipped to me shortly after...

The Canadian nationality of the spouse wasn't clear to me from the post. Obviously that changes PR status. It would still be useful to hear the experience from someone from a VISA exempt country having left and and re-entered Canada before having received the PR card, in the 6 weeks period it...

Yes indeed. The "many, many years" part strongly suggests you no longer have PR status. It would still be useful to hear the experience from someone from a VISA exempt country having left and and re-entered Canada before having received the PR card, in the 6 weeks period it takes to get the PR...

The yellow pages don't seem to know much about what a fiduciary is, so I am wondering, in Canada (Nova Scotia in our case) do people call a fiduciary something else? We see a fiduciary as a specialist office giving advise on how to legally and legitimately structure personal and business...
