FYI for anyone reading this thread: I finished the process successfully. It took about 15 minutes. The document attached to the passport IS good for travel but only via land and only via driving. So one can not take a plane, train, boat, etc. (I think even buses are no good) That much is...

My accident was actually 5 years almost tohe date of today, so by the time we move it will be > 5 years. I guess if the government is paying all medical bills in general, they want to be absolutely sure that everything is covered by the car insurance companies. Who knows though? Ah! So many...

Thanks for your detailed description or your process. I'm going to have to plan some time to figure that out as well. Currently my gf has 1 car, and I have a car. We are going to import only her car and sell mine as her car is bigger. That's amazing how much the insurance is on it. I wonder why...

also one more question, I don't have to land with my sponsor (a Canadian citizen) present do I? We applied as common law marriage because she is currently in USA with me. However, by coincidence, she is currently in Canada for the next little bit anyway. But I don't think it's required that she...

Yeah, I'll definitely look into Cobra and also see if there is a waiting period in BC. If there isn't then that would solve some of the problem. If there is a way to get the paperwork started now related to the health insurance then I could keep the US one for the time being while the waiting...

It is semi-important that something I get cover pre-existing conditions, so it would be nice if I could "land" fill out some paper work, and then go back to the US to finalize the moving (will take some time to do that anyway), but it sounds like if I do that, I'm taking a chance that I won't be...

Hi, I'm asking this question that I posed in another thread but it was suggested I start a new thread on it. I have not yet landed in Canada, but am trying to figure out the best path to do it from. I live in Seattle, but some of my goods are in Seattle and some are in upstate NY. I know that...

I am importing a car. I looked on the list of admissible cars and it appears to fit. Not sure what else to do beyond that though. It also looks a bit confusing so if you have any knowledge that would be great :-) I live in Seattle so I'm very close to the border. I don't know for sure whether...

Maybe the best thing to do will be ask the immigration person when I land if it is worth it to land then or not. Some of the health insurance stuff has waiting periods, etc too so it would be nice to get that out of the way while I still have US insurance, but if it throws a wrench in the whole...

Thanks for the response. The thing that is confusing to me is if I didn't have the Visa in the passport then I wouldn't worry about this at all (technically, they might refuse me, but I've been to canada many times without it happening) Not that this would be something I'd do as it isn't worth...

That certainly is my general thinking here. However, if others could confirm that they had had no problems doing what I'm describing, then there wouldn't be anything to lose. In general in the future, will I have to bring my PR card with me every time I leave Canada in order to re-enter?

Hey all, I am an American citizen who just got his Visa to become a permanent resident in canada under the spousal sponsorship. I am not going to be able to move for a couple months, but am a bit anxious about getting the landing over with. The sheet they sent with my visa says that after I...
