A friend of mine as well as a couple of other co-workers went to Coutts / Sweetgrass at different times to get new work permits. I never asked them if they were nice there but they didn't tell any stories either so I suppose they were fine.

I entered through the Coutts/Sweetgrass border. My experience is good, they are nice.. not much questions asked.

You are not eligible unless you are living with your child in Canada. Then you can apply.

NOTE: Asian make electronic/electrical items won't work in Canada. [read 230 vs 110 Volts]

There is 110 pages and I really can't read them all right now, just curious if anybody corrected the above error yet? I live in Thailand currently which last time I checked was part of Asia and I have taken to Canada and used many electrical/electronic items I have taken home. The voltage issue is usually a non starter as most items these days that come with "brick" type power supplies are able to self regulate between the two voltages. NOT all of course but most from any big brand name company.

In my personal history I have taken, laptops, camcorders, digital cameras with no issue. Examples below

My Lenovo laptop power supply, clearly you can see the input from 100 - 240 V will work fine either place.

Battery charger for my Pentax Digital camera.. again no problems.

Clearly this one will NOT work in North America.. note how the input is only 230V no other options.

If you really want to keep something you've purchased you can by a voltage inverter which will allow 240v device to work in North America or vice versa with a North American device abroad.

As to TVs you are quite right ones made in Asia will not work in Canada, but that is not due to power supply but rather to the format in which the programs are broadcast in each location.

TV's in most of Europe and Asia use the PAL format and in North America we use the NSTC format. PAL operates as 625-line/50 Hz (576i) broadcast system, and is different from a 525-line/60 Hz (480i) NTSC system you can clearly see the TV methods refresh at completely different rates. This was done in the past to stop cheap knock off TVs in Asia from being dumped in the US market, oddly enough now all the high end LCD, LED and Plasma TVs from American companies are made in Asia anyway...

As with the voltage issue you can adapt a TV to work in either location but the cost makes no sense with the price of LED and LCD TVs being so cheap now.

Hope that helps.
