Hi all, How did you manage your mail forwarding before you found a permanent place to live? I've been mulling over several options, but don't know which is best: Use friend's address in US to forward my US mail, and then bother them to keep sending mail to me. (I don't really like this one)...

Actually, UPack came out to be more expensive than U-Box for me. Also, they are fully booked for my dates, so I can't use them anyways. The only decision for me now is between PODS and U-Box. If the plywood can sustain the journey and Uhaul doesn't mess up the route or logistics, I'd just go...

Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to permanently move to Canada in the next few weeks. After some research and inquiries, I found I have these 2 options to transport my belongings from Arizona to Canada: 1. U-Haul U-Box: cost of a single box $2830 2. PODS small box: $4340 Based only on the cost...

Thanks for quoting the CBSA article. Very informative. In the case where I'm using a shipping company like U-Haul U-Box, will the border services officer complete all the forms and hand them to the truck driver? And when I pick up the goods at my destination, will I get the forms from U-Haul?

Hi guys, As I prepare to permanently move to Canada, I'm debating whether to sell my car in the US, or to import it into Canada. Do any of you have any experience with this? Is it too much of a hassle to import the car? Is a US driver's license valid in Canada? What are the insurance rates...

Thanks alimzlm, I was able to link my application. I also wanted to check if the mailing address that I gave at immigration is correctly entered in the system. But when I try to use the "Change My Address" option and enter the details, it doesn't recognize me. Is there a waiting period for my...

Thanks scylla. Wow, it is hard to be in suspense, after such close tracking of status up until this stage. I followed the advice of folks on this forum and rented a UPS mailbox, and gave that as the address. It does not say "PO box" but only "suite". Not sure if that would cause any issues??

Hi guys, Do you get an email notification or a status update on your online application saying that your PR card is being processed? I completed my landing last week, and I'm not sure if there are any issues or it's all good...

Hi all, I just completed my landing in Vancouver last Sunday, and the process at the immigration office went pretty smoothly. A few routine questions, and voila! the officer said "congratulations, you are new a permanent resident". I signed the CoPR, and took back my copy. I gave a temporary...
