Odd question to post here, but don't know where else on the net to ask. Canada has descent internet, but it is still not as fast and unlimited as it is in other parts of the world. Does anyone know of a place with super fast internet in Montreal where I could upload/backup about 200 GB of data...

How can I remove an outdated thread, started by me, on Canada Visa? Thanks!

In theory, to keep a PR status one needs 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period in Canada. However, the Bill-C24 confuses me in that it mentions: New residency requirements of 4 years (1,460 days) out of 6 years for citizenship eligibility Permanent Residents must be physically present in...

We are from the Netherlands and have landed in Nova Scotia in January. Our driver's license can not be exchanged, whilst it can be exchanged in other provinces, such as New Brunswick. Since our 90 days are up, we are looking at other provinces, and apparently it is possible to have our license...

Does anyone have a list of which non secured credit cards are available to newcomers in order to build a credit history? I have Scotiabank Momentum free through their startright program and RBC through their newcomers program. Does anyone know of other non secured + no credit check credit cards...

I'm wondering if anyone can share who they used for their newcomer's car insurance? Or if anyone found an insurer that would accept previous out of canada & us driving years/experience? EDIT: location in Nova Scotia

I would like to know at which bank I can open a business account online/by mail, without having to go into a branch in person? Thanks!

Are the items which I already own and wish to import shortly after I become a permanent resident from living abroad subject to duty? I mean clothing, books, cd's, furniture, washing machine, etc. which I have owned for some considerable time, and which I will have shipped to me shortly after...

The yellow pages don't seem to know much about what a fiduciary is, so I am wondering, in Canada (Nova Scotia in our case) do people call a fiduciary something else? We see a fiduciary as a specialist office giving advise on how to legally and legitimately structure personal and business...

Can I land with my COPR, leave Canada (on business) before my PR card arrives, and then re-enter before my PR card arrives? I am from a visa exempt country. I read on the forums a while back, but whichever way I search I don't find the relevant post(s). Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

MY ORIGINAL QUESTION: I'm searching for a Canadian bank who will open an account for me prior to my PR landing. I would like to wire money so that when I land I have access to funds and banking straight away. I have found that RBC can do this, and that BMO can open a locked account until you...

I'm a PR without permanent address in Canada. My mail gets forwarded for the time being until our family can move to Canada. Can I get a SIN if I do not yet have a permanent address, only a mail forwarding address? Thanks!

There are plenty of good posts about starting your own business on the forum, but I couldn't find any listing the different mandatory cost items, and where to find estimates, numbers or percentages. Is there a resource where one can find a full list of cost items for the self employed and for...

Not sure I am posting this in the right section, hope I do. We have our COPR and are looking into flights to fly to Canada and finalise the immigration at the border. Our destination is Halifax under NSNP. We travel with a baby, so can't really afford several connections and layovers, we need...

Is there a professional postal service where one can have their permanent residence cards mailed to, who then forward them to whatever address we end up living at? The idea is that we come to Canada to get our PR cards requested, and then return home to continue organising the move and end our...

Once we obtain the Confirmation of Permanent Residence document (outside Canada, PNP) and our passports have been returned from the embassy, and we landed in Canada, how much time does it take to obtain the Permanent Resident Card? Do we need a permanent address at arrival, or can we stay at...

We are in the process of obtaining our Community identified Provincial Nominee Program Permanent Residence. If let's say 2-3 months after we settle we decide that in the end we prefer to settle in another province, is this possible? Or are we doomed to be resident in our province forever?

We applied for permanent residence status under the community identified provincial nominee program. There is a possibility that my family does not emigrate to Canada after all once PR status is obtained. If they do not come, does this, and how, affect my PR status?

Allegedly, last week PAFSO and the gov went in a hearing which was going to decide whether they are forced into arbitration or not. The press has highlighted that they were doing all ind of public pressure last week, but no news on any outcome from the hearing. It should have been published in...

I'm a foreign based consultant, with a potential client in Canada. I'd like to find out what the rules are for consultants offering consulting work in Canada to Canadian companies. Which are the rules governing foreign based consultants who have an assignment in Canada for a Canadian company...
