You can get a loan in Canada if you put at least 10% down, BUT you need to have a job to show where you will be able to pay. All banks will give loan from 10% to 20% for new immigrants and there will be a added mortgage insurance because of new credit.

Yes they are if they are used in the US of A - which means no duty. The only problem with the car is you need lots of paperwork from both sides of the border and its a hassle which I don't want and anyway I don't own a title on a car so I can't import.

Hello All, I just talk to CBSA and asked them the details on the goods to follow. They told me that it doesn't matter if the goods are newer and less than 6 months old, the 6 months rule is for the people who are returning to Canada not for the first time immigrant like me. So if I bring new...

Thanks for your reply, 60% sounds too much, I have a flat screen which is made in Mexico plus some other small electronics which are not made in Mexico. That is too expensive - is it okay to say only TV is new and rest is old? What if they open my shipment? Lets say the total is about $1500 if...

Hi All, I am landing in Calgary, I have a question about Duty on new items. I have some items that I purchased recently - can someone please shed some light on how much the duty would be for lets say $1000.00. I need to know this before I land so I appreciate if someone give some insights...

Hello Friends, I want to rent a car to cross the border lets say from seattle to vancouver (one way) - I will drop the car in Vancouver. Do I have to go to US immigration (because of rental car) or just keep on moving to the Canadian Immigration for landing. Will Canadian immigration ask me or...

FedEx or UPS will cost you arm and leg, try some movers in vancouver area, I don't think theere is any mover at the airport but you can ask them to pick up your luggage from the airport.

Thanks for your replies, I agree the option of Bank Draft is better, however I will think about it because checks are easier to cash and readily available - I do have a bank account here, I will keep combination of both (draft/chekcs). I will try to open an account in HSBC before I land and see...

I was thinking to take Travelers Checks with me to Canada from the US, If I take large amount of travelers check, would it be a problem? I do not want to make a Bank Draft as it will take a month to clear and travelers checks will be handy when I travel afterwards. Would it be a problem to get...

Get US Dollars... No need of Canadian dollars, US ollars can be converted.

Zakout, Yes you can appeal but not for free, OK ~ They ALL will charge you for appeal. They just want to cheat you and in the end leave you in deep waters. Do whatever you want Bud, looks like you just don't want to accept the reality that you need English improvement, BOTH ways you need to...

You will do that if you have the IELTS in your hands, but since you don't have, it will take couple of months. You can go ahead and ask them to re-consider or just re-apply, in case if they re-consider your old application (which I don't think you even have a 1% chance) then you are in business...

You have a very rare chance...

Zakout, IELTS test is where you need improvement. If you want to pursue your dream, you need to re-apply and get higher points in IELTS test - you will get it in no time. Good Luck!

Still here.... Bud.. No word from Buffalo.

Why Buffalo has slowed down on FSW? Below is the post on trakitt by one of the member - I am copying his post here; "A CIC staff member told me this at a public event - sometimes visa offices shift their focus for some time (several months?) towards other type of applications like PNP, CEC...

There is no limit on taking cash/check/draft/Travelers checks etc. to Canada as long as it is yours. As another member say, you don't necessarily need to carry cash, it can be in any form. You need to declare (by law) amount more than 10,000 CAD when you enter Canada, I am sure you will declare...

Just drop her out of the application and tell them I am separated, remember, you will never be able to apply for the spouse again which I think you will not. Good Luck!

Its a scam to cheat you - its that simple.

My two cents; The real reason might be related to slower economy around the world, less Canadian trade with US, higher CDN dollar value costing Canadian goods to be more expensive for importers and last but not least current Pakistani political and security conditions which spiked in the number...
