Yes for sure! Once we're done with our quarantine I'm planning to head to the Service Canada and Service Ontario centers to do the car, license exchange, etc. The sooner I can get those US plates off my car, the better LOL

Hi all, our situation is slightly different since we're Canadian citizens returning to Canada after spending 5 years in the USA. However, I wanted to share my experience about the actual border crossing via land in hopes that it might help someone else :) Moving: We hired a moving company to...

I agree that compared to a moving company, u-box is really expensive. Like for $500 more you might as well have someone else do the heavy lifting. Movers was good for us because we're a family of 4 and have a ton of stairs and I don't want my husband to break lol

Depending on your comfort level, you can always do a FaceTime walkthrough of a rental. We did this on a few different places and decided on one, and are moving right into a new place when we arrive on the 15th. Also if you work with a realtor they will generally go and look at the place for you...

Just wanted to chime in here because I spoke with someone at the border about this very thing.. Originally we were going to rent a U-Haul and planned to unload directly into the place we're renting in Toronto. The lady I spoke with said that we were NOT allowed to even return the truck, even...

Hi, I don't know if you've already gone through the process or not, but I spoke with someone at CBSA over the phone because we're about to go through something similar. She said we can give Power of Attorney to a family member and they can clear on our behalf. So we're going to get a letter...

Congrats! I had a couple questions.. did they call or check on you during your 14 day quarantine? Also, when you officially move there, are you driving a UHaul or hiring movers? I didn't consider bringing groceries with me across the border when we move back from the USA, but that's actually...

Hi everyone, We are moving back to Toronto in a few weeks, driving from New York. We are all Canadian citizens. I have my quarantine plan in place, so no worries there. We've already been inside since March here in NY so what's another two weeks anyway? I am wondering about something else...

10:30am, how about you?

How do I update the sheet? We'll soon be a hatchling :) And yes, we're Ontario (Scarborough)...

That's awesome! We'll see you there! ;)

Thanks, and congrats/best of luck to you as well! We are going to do something distinctly Canadian after the ceremony, but not sure yet what that will be... any suggestions? Poutine and Canadian wine? Haha

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give an update since my husband took his test yesterday in Scarborough! He got there at 8:15 and was on his way home by 8:40am. On the test he scored 20/20, and studied quite a bit the day before. He said the online practice questions really helped but the actual...

We got our Test Notification today! Wahoooo! April 16th at Scarborough Test Ctr. Husband is a student - should he bring anything stating that he's in and has been in university all this time? What about birth certificate? We don't have an original of this on hand. Anything else that we...

haha, yes that's right... unless I'm from the future ;) I'll update my timeline now! Yeah I guess we could call. I didn't think they'd answer questions so soon. I mean, we've only been "in process" for just under 3 months now. The app is for my husband, so he'll probably have to make the...

Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been asked already, or maybe there hasn't been a confirmed answer yet... Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what our local office is. On the CIC website it says whichever office is closest to your home, but I'm right in the middle of St. Clair and Scarborough...

That's amazing, Sept15!!! A huge congrats to you and your family!
