Hi all, I am just wondering about OHIP and the 153 day rule (must be present for 153 days in the first 6 months)... What do they count as a day? Like if I left on Friday and returned on Monday, do Friday and Monday count as days out of Ontario because I was out of the province for part of the...

Hi all! I'm trying to apply for nexus (finally!) and in the list of documents it says record of landing (COPR) is acceptable. However, in the application, it only asks for PR card.... I haven't gotten my PR card yet, so I don't know the card number or expiration or anything... Do I have to wait...

We used the Lewiston bridge near buffalo and the export office is on the side where you enter the us from Canada. So basically, you have to cut across a bunch of traffic. Thankfully there were officers outside and they gave us directions. That's all I meant! It was really easy once we got there!

I was worried about that too but had no problems. If you read carefully, it appears that there is a grace period through October 2014 where they are not enforcing that new requirement. I just emailed my VIN and description, showed up at the export office and had it stamped in about 5 min. The...

Landed today at Lewiston-Queenston!!!! It went smoothly, but we had a bit of a wait inside the building. The car export was really easy and the border part of the import went smoothly too. Just waiting for RIV form 2 to be emailed then we are off to Canadian tire for the inspection. Not sure...

Landing tomorrow!!! I'm so nervous/excited!!! Mostly just nervous about something going wrong with the car import. Otherwise just excited!!!

Thanks again. I did get in touch with the Lewiston border office and they said that the car has to be in the US before I send them the info. I'm not sure they totally understood my question but the email I got back was "NO it must be in the US"... I think we are going to adjust our timeline just...

Once I import the car and change everything over to Ontario I won't have a problem driving it in the US when I visit will I? Since I am a US citizen with canadian PR living in Canada, I feel like that should allow me to drive a Canadian plated car... True? I'm going to send my info to the US...

You've been my lifesaver!!! Seriously! Thanks so much ;D ;D

From what I understand you have 60 days to switch to an Ontario license after arriving in Ontario. You need the Canadian insurance ASAP after importing... I called RIV and they seem to think that as long as your US insurance covers you in Canada you can drive from the border using your US...

Hi all! Landing next week :D I'm trying to figure out importing the car and insurance. Since I cannot get Canadian insurance until I switch my license to Ontario, and then I can't drive the car under my US insurance under the Ontario license... Can I import the car using my US insurance (which...

Oh yeah, whoops. We're in Ontario

Sorry to hijack this thread... Any idea if the car can be registered in my husband's name after I import it?? Or does it have to stay in my name? And if it does have to remain in my name, can he drive it regularly if we are both on the insurance policy?

I may be wrong but I believe that once you import the car at the border you can't sell it. You definitely can't sell it in Canada for a period of time and I doubt you could bring it back to the US easily to sell it since you have to officially export it from the US as the very first step of the...

I'm in Ontario and it only took a few days to get mine. I got DM on a Friday and COPR came in the mail Monday! You should get it soon! Congrats!

Great! So I'm assuming the import to Canada will also be ok with the maiden name?

Landing in about 2 weeks! Cheesy Just wondering about the car import... My car title and registration is under my maiden name and my COPR/new passport is in my married name. Will this be a problem? Can I just bring my old passport and marriage license? Has anyone done this before? It takes...

COPR reissued in my married name!!! It came today! For some reason, they sent it to our new address (as of June 1) but kept my husband's address on the COPR as the old one. I really hope that isn't a problem because I can't handle sending it back AGAIN and wait for it AGAIN!!!! We are...
