Hi all, My wife is going up to Ontario to try to pave the way for us settling up there. First priority: find an apartment. But I assume that a landlord will need a check drawn on a Canadian bank, right? But can you open a bank account without an SIN? And can you get an SIN without being...

I know once I import my car from the US to Canada, I need to give it Canadian plates. Do you know if I can drive this Canadian-plated car in the US without issues as a US citizen? I know Canada won't allow the opposite (a PR to drive a US-plated car in Canada)

Is this correct: If I purchase a car in the US, I will have to pay sales tax twice on it, once in the US at time of purchase, and another when I import it into Canada? Would it therefore make sense to wait to purchase until I'm in Canada? Or are cars so much more expensive there, it wouldn't...

We just got off the phone with a very nice CBSA agent who said that if we were landing without the intent to "settle", that is, according to him, get a place to live for more than 12 months, etc, we did NOT need a GTF list at landing. We've never heard or read anything like this in the past, so...

I'm self employed and have quite a lot of valuable technical equipment I use. Does anyone know if I'll have to pay any kind of duty on that (since it's a business use)? Thanks in advance!

I'm a US citizen. Right now I can go to Canada on my passport without visa. After I land, I planned to have my PR card sent to a PO Box, then return to Canada to retrieve it at a later date. Once my passport is stamped with the PR Visa, will I be able to enter Canada just as easily as I can...

We just got our passport requests, and they also asked for two more photos. (that I think are for the PR cards?) Does this mean they'll send the PR card back with the passports? Or is getting a PR card a different procedure that takes place after you get your passports back and land. Sorry...

....until they first contact you letting you know they at least received your application? Is that what the AOR is? Telling you they got your stuff? I'm curious how long we should expect to wait. :) (This is self-employed class.) Thanks!

... after they receive your package to put you into the system and let you know you're in it? Is it like, a week? 20 weeks? 6 months? What are your experiences?

Hi All, I want to apply for PR under the Self Employed class through Buffalo as the CIC website directs me to, but the Buffalo website has no indication of taking Business Immigration applications (w w...
