My daughter arrived in Canada when she was 3 years old. She started daycare and then JK, SK. Now she is in the first grade. The citizenship application is asking for submitting minor's educational record. I have requested the first grade school to provide a letter but they haven't yet responded...

Hi I travel across the border to US everyday on H-1B visa. My wife and I are Canadian permanent residents. She lives and works in Canada. We would like my wife to deliver our 2nd baby in the US. First one is a US citizen. My wife do not hold an H-4 yet but I can apply for one. Is it realistic...

Ok, I was particularly looking for RBC because they can do ACH transfers. Other banks can do as well but haven't explored all the options.

Have you moved your money from BoA to Canada yet ? The BoA does not accept PO Box or Virtual Mail Address so likely I will need to move money. I think with RBC bank you can open a USD account and move money without converting currency.

I have transferred very limited funds to Canada to help me get settled here. I used BOA Wire Transfer, although there are other options available (such as https://www.knightsbridgefx.com ). I used BOA ATM here initially, you have to let them know through app/website that you are traveling...

That's good to know. I may not be able to physically go but at least start redirecting the mail if they give me PO box number

Thanks, I will definitely try this and update this thread when I actually do it. As mentioned before, due to border closing I won't be able to go to USPS but hopefully soon

Does anyone have personal experience who has rented a PO box and crossed border in the past just to get mail?

Yes I am close to the border however didn't know if it is normal to rent a PO box and cross the border on Visitor Visa (that I fortunately got before Corona). Right now border is closed but I would prefer this method over other mail delivery services. Also I have to find out if banks accept PO...

I don't think I can give them Canadian address (especially Robinhood)

I have moved to Canada as an Indian Citizen and Canadian Permanent Resident however haven't moved all the money from the US. I have bank accounts and stock investments. Instead of transferring them over to Canadian Bank and losing a lot through currency exchange rate and fees, I would like to...

Yeah, that's what I would do too but unfortunately I don't have close relative. My friends will eventually move to Canada and the other ones are not that responsible enough to keep the mail secure or separate.

For people who have moved from USA to Canada and are still maintaining their financial accounts (bank, investments) , how do you do so? My main concern is address. Right now, I have set that as my friend's address however I don't want to trouble them with my mails as they will have to keep them...

Is it same for Permanent Resident as well ?

I didn't show proof of income yet. They will ask for it later. I just provided the numbers. I applied a couple of months ago. I don't know when I will get a response back :confused:
