    Thread for March 2011 Applicants!

    Hi everyone!!!! It's been a long time since I've updated here, my husband crossed over last Monday at Buffalo/Ontario border and it was a breeze. We drove from Florida to Toronto in less than 20 driving hours total, split into two days. The majority was the first portion which took us through 7...

    Adding to already submitted immigration docs.

    I'm a very sentimental person and keep everything. I sent copies of pretty much everything and anything that could be photocopied. Extra photos, copies of all the wedding cards we received from friends and family, copies of any cards we sent to one another, parking stubs, meal receipts, movie...

    Just to be safe I will bite the bullet and go to Can't Tire for the inspection since they are listed on RIV. Hubs is going to the dealership tomorrow to get his letter and ask about the DRLs. If it's too much there we will bring his car over to my mechanic instead.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    After scouring through all the certified centres in Toronto and the surrounding area, it's all "Can't Tire" :( I called my mechanic as well to double check and he verified that I'd have to go to Can't Tire for the inspection. My mechanic did suggest that we go to them first to get the DRLs put...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    It's not like we really have a choice to do it anywhere else...that's the killer. Can we get the test done, if anything needs to be fixed, bring it to another mechanic, get it fixed and re-do the safety test? I know we would most likely have to repay the inspection fee. My husband is driving a...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    When I had called one of the insurance companies here in Ontario, the agent had told me that it should be ok to just use the US one for the time being until we switch to the ones here. I'll ask hubs to call to ask, I know he's currently with Progressive. I am not happy about the one quote I got...

    I completely forgot about the emissions test. I know that it $39.95 or so, but how much was the safety inspection at Canadian Tire?! Thanks for the heads up about the check being valid for 36 days! I'm scared to call my husband's insurance because what if they say they are going to stop his...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I just called a slew of agencies (US border, CBSA, RIV, MTO) and finally got all the information I needed. For anyone who is looking to cross from Buffalo/NY into ONTARIO, you MUST cross at the Lewiston bridge M-F (8am-4pm). Upon crossing the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) you must...

    Hi Everyone! Hubs sent out his passport on Sept 1 and it was received the following day. I know it does say on the email sent to us that if mailed in it generally takes about 15 business days. Has everyone who has had PPR and sent it out found that it does take that long?? I'm dying to have my...

    Exporting/Importing a car from the US

    Did you have to type in the VIN number and it would send you a letter on the dodge website?? I'm trying to figure out how to do it online for my husband's Scion.

    We were sent both. When I spoke with my MP's rep, who by the way HAS NOT contacted me since we met two weeks ago, half-heartedly explained that there are two files because of the system change.
