AUGUST 2015 - OUTLAND Applications

[carr1]

Yeah I am hoping for a quick move on that too. Though I just found out some bad news. Since my car is still being financed and the title will not be in my name, a copy of the title will not allow me to export my vehicle. Bleh.

The finance company didnt have any issues with it. They were going to give me a letter of permission and copy of title of the vehicle so that I could transport it into Canada permanently.

Youch, I sold my car before I came to Canada as it seemed like a hassle for me. Good luck on getting it imported.

It will work out. I am just happy that my CoPR came in .

Also is this the correct B4 form?

I went to this website and the link that claims to be the B4 form is broken. I left feedback but that won't help me.

It looks right but I can't say for sure, I'm doing my B4 later this summer when I bring my personal stuff back from the states

I asked the same sort of questions when I landed and the CBSA agent said don't worry so much we will figure it out when you do come with your stuff. I really only have personal stuff to bring like photos and misc stuff, just a car load. When I decided to come to Canada I sold almost everything or gave it away.

 

[Baffled]

Yeah, I am glad I don't have a lot to bring. I want to bring the bed frame and computer desk and give it to my girlfriend. We could really use a nice bed frame. As for everything else its just random computer stuff, dvds, and clothes. Just wish the car wasn't so complicated.

Good luck with the car and landing! It's such a good feeling when you're all said and done!

Alright after asking in the Settlements Issues section of the forums I found that I will be able to export my lien hold vehicle with a Letter of Permission. It is noted on the US Customs and Border Protection website and on the automated phone system. The border patrol themselves don't really know, and when I talked to them the guy had no idea and kept asking another officer and that officer was just annoyed that the other officer kept asking questions that he probably didn't have answers to. OH well. It is a relief to know I can still export and import my car.

Thanks a ton Stephcy and Baffled...
Glad I waited and didn't apply for extension....got my passport back with the stamp and Copr as well

Total time of 8 months for the whole process...finally the waiting game is over...
All the best for everyone waiting and praying that everyone gets their visa soon and unites with their partner...

 

[Baffled]

Since my car is the only means for me to travel, and it is still insured through a US company...will there be any issues driving it into the US get my stuff and head back to Canada and take advantage of the 6 months allowed to drive it in BC? And deal with the export/import later like something to follow me into Canada later .

 

[stephcy]

CoPR received in the mail today! WOOT!

Question: Can I apply for a SIN now or after I landed? I'll call Service Canada and find out. But figured I would ask here first .

Hi you have to get landed first. It seems that you can do it at the airport too if you are landing there. Otherwise the next day you can just go to service Canada, they will give you your sin number immediately, just a bit of waiting time there Happy landing

Well, the rules depend on where you are a resident...

...the following persons are exempt, for the period specified, from the requirements respecting the holding of a driver's licence issued to him or her under this Act:

(a) a person who has a validly issued and subsisting driver's or operator's licence or permit issued according to the laws where he or she is ordinarily resident, for 6 months from the date he or she last entered British Columbia;

(b) a person who has become ordinarily resident in British Columbia and who has a validly issued and subsisting driver's or operator's licence or permit issued according to the laws of the jurisdiction where he or she was most recently ordinarily resident, for 90 days after he or she became ordinarily resident in British Columbia;

...is exempt from the requirements to register and license the motor vehicle or trailer under this Act, if

(d) the owner or operator of the motor vehicle or trailer is in British Columbia for, and uses the motor vehicle or trailer for, touring purposes only, for a period of 6 months, or

(e) the owner or operator of the motor vehicle or trailer is in British Columbia for, and uses the motor vehicle or trailer for, other than touring purposes, for a period of 30 days

http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/consol5/consol5/96318_01

So once you are a permanent resident, the period allowed for not having a BC driver's license changes from 6 months to 90 days, and the period for not having the car registered changes to 30 days. In other words, you need to import in 30 days.

I will be seeing friends and family getting my stuff together and heading back to Canada in a weeks time. WOOT! ugh now back to this Brain Wrecking AESDirect. Best of luck to all of you!
