Any Belgians out there? I have passed my knowledge test and I have my road test in 2 weeks (BC). Do I still need to provide a driver's abstract and if so how can I find it? I asked my insurance provider before I left and he just sent me a long email in Dutch, of course lol. I only ask because I...

The classification in the form is a bit tricky. What do I select for me and my partner as I am a Canadian citizen and she (Belgian) will be landing? Former Resident or Settler? Thanks

Thanks a lot. I think I'll give our airline a call, it looks like our easiest and cheapest option.

Ok great thanks. How much did it cost to send the boxes via ubox and how was the service?

We are making the big move next month and although we are not planning to take a ton of stuff, we would like to send a parcel or two after that would follow our landing. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced European company that could accommodate 1-2 parcels of approx. 25 kilos each? Thanks...

I second this question. I will be travelling back to Canada (I am a citizen) while my partner will be landing. Do I need to declare all my personal belongings or just my partners? Most of my belongings originate from Canada and not from living abroad. Thanks in advance

Oh wow thank you for your very, very helpful responses. The website is great for the international health care and it's rather affordable too. Also, we did get a health record for me and my partner from our doctor here in Belgium. It's a thick stack and all in Dutch so we will bring it with us...

We're making the big move very soon. I hope some of you can answer these answers about health care. Regarding health records, does my Belgian partner need to have a copy of her health records with her when we move to Canada? Does she simply ask her family doctor? Would I also need a record of...

Hello, My partner (Belgian) and I (Canadian) are making the big move to BC after getting sponsorship approval. We have questions that we cannot find online and hope to hear back from personal experience if possible. 1. Regarding health records, does my Belgian partner need to have a copy of...

Can my partner land in another province--Alberta, even though the destination province on her COPR is BC? Our intention is to fly to Edmonton, visit with family and have them drive us to BC where we intend to live. Would this be allowed? Thanks in advance.

I am leaning towards Toronto too. The layover time is 3 hours on a Wed. evening, I wonder if that is enough time?

My partner finally received her COPR and now we are in the process of purchasing our flight tickets. Together we are going to be flying out of Amsterdam to Vancouver and the only airline that offers reasonable prices that aren't roundtrip have layovers. We have two options to choose from: we...

COPR was received in late December, my partner and I are crazy excited for 2015. Happy new year everyone and much success!!

I received SA yesterday!! ;D BIG relief. It's a little earlier than expected because it was only 50 days since the CIC received our file. However, I am still skeptical that it took our application 9 days to travel from Belgium to Ontario, but I'm just going by the information from the online...

Thanks, and yes, obviously they are separate countries. ;D I did a little research of my own and discovered this bit of information if it is helpful for anyone else. You will need ESTA if you are from a visa-waiver country such as Australia, Japan, UK and EU countries to enter US by air even if...

Thanks a lot, I feel a lot better now. I had a mix up with my taxes as I filed myself wrongly for 2013 as a non-resident when actually I still was and it has been a very long time communication-wise to figure it all out. But I included letters with the CRA and my current paystubs of my work in...

First off, congrats! I am a little nervous about our application since I also didn't supply an option C notice of assessment. I am wondering how did you address it in your application? Did you write an explanation? Thanks

Congratulations Everyone!!! ;D

Thanks a lot, I felt kind of dumb for asking, but thanks for clarifying. Yes, surface mail does seem a better way to do things. My partner wants to ship an antique vanity, but the cost to ship vs. finding a similar one in Canada is pretty significant. Thanks again, and look it's almost August --...

Thanks. The more research I do, the more discouraged we are to even try with a container. Ultimately, it just seems more efficient to take the sentimental, non-replaceable items with us and use what I have (although not a lot!) still in Canada and purchase the rest once we've landed. You have...
