Hello Stupid_Cupid,

Here are my thoughts:

1. Rental Car Insurance - Your current US car insurace (GEICO/Progressive..etc) is valid in Canada only if you are a visitor to Canada. The moment you complete your landing formalities, you will be considered as a landed immigrant/ resident of Canada. In such a case, your insurance company will have a substanial reason to back off from the insurance claim, if any.

Advice: When you rent a car, ask the car rental company for insurance and also tell them that you are travelling to Canada. Just to ensure that the insurance is valid in Canada also.

Health Card: Generally Health care is managed by individual Provinces/States in Canada. When you apply for a health card, they ask you for address proof of that province. In my case, I was asked for Alberta address when I applied for Alberta Health Card.

Btw, Which province/state address are you giving at the port of entry for receiving your PR Cards? If you are giving Toronto/Ontario address then you can probably apply for health card in Ontario but ideally speaking, It's better to apply for health cards in Alberta to avoid unanticipated events in the future.

I guess other friends might have different thougths and experiences.

Good Luck!!!

Virgo,

Please use USPS prepaid Express mail (Approx $18.40).
NYC does not encourage using Fedex unless it's a corporate account.

One of our friend who sent the passport by Fedex to NYC had a tough time getting the passports back. It took almost one month time and three reminders/follow up (email/faxes).

The dispatch of mails from New York office is horrible. They take atleast one week to post your passport even after the visa is affixed in the passport.

Hope this helps.

1. No, in my case they did not ask anything about car insurance. Also, US auto insurance is valid in Canada for some time (usually for 60 days depending on the company) so even if you are a landed immigrant you can still use your US auto insurance for that time. To qualify for this your US auto insurance must have full coverage, if you don't than get the car rental company insurance.

2. Ontario requires new immigrant to be presented there for at least 3 months before they give you Health card.
