    Issue with Ontario Driver's Licence - strike

This report will list when you was first licensed, what changes you made to it, any tickets, and most importantly if it is currently active. Remember in Ontario it has...

    the best for you to inquire with an official source (like your local canadian consulate) you did not even explained what type of visa are you talking about.

    You can always leave at least 1 bank account with credit card opened in your home country, you can later call or mail your request to close the account from Canada. Speak with your bank before you leave to make sure how can you do this.
