We are looking to purchase our first Canadian home. We have extensive history of home ownership in the UK, but only 6 months renters insurance in Canada and it looks like we may get screwed by this lack of history. We had a similar issue with auto insurance until we found Johnsons who would take...

No answer per se, but my COPR has me listed twice also with same types. Should be landing on Monday, so will try to let you know if it is anything other than nomal.. :)

Thanks, what would you say is a decent budget? I have always run fairly run down cars in the UK, but I guess in the UK I was never at much risk of getting stranded in heavy snow. Are there particular safety concerns I should be aware of here?

We have just arrived in Windsor, Ontario. Family of 6 + dog (Myself, my wife, kids 11, 7, 7, Grandad 92, Lulu the shih-tzu) and we need to get a car ASAP. We have started looking but seem to be struggling for the budget I was expecting. It is difficult to describe priorities exactly, all of...

Just for the benefit of future searchers I got in fine, 6 month visitor visa, they asked me almost nothing about me, it was all focused on my Father in Law and getting him landed.

Hi all, I am mid-Google for information to help put together a comprehensive supporting documentation pack ready for our arrival in Canada: Wife + 3kids: Canadian citizens Father in Law: PR accepted, will be landing Myself: Outland spousal PR app submitted but not decided yet. Does anyone have...

I think I take your point, but my wife will be coming with all "her" possessions, so I hope that won't be a problem by extension? Not sure how else we could do it unless she didn't do her b4 when we fly in together but did it later - would that be better do you think?

I meant physically landing sorry, I must learn not to use that word in this context :). As I understand it I am perfectly entitled to live in Canada while waiting for PR process, that is the whole purpose of "Dual Intent". I do understand that the border agent may require me to satisfy them...

My wife (Canadian Citizen), myself (dual intent UK citizen, spousal PR application under way) will be flying in together (along with kids and FIL) in a couple of weeks. Do we need to do a B4 for each of us, or can we just do a b4 for e.g. my wife as returning resident and not for me? If we...

Thanks, most helpful as always :)

Thanks all, I feel stupid, having re-read some of the links with the benefit of hindsight I can see the subtle clues, but it obviously fooled me first time through. I was sure I saw someone saying that it was *not* just inland applications but I can't find the link now so I may be confusing it...

Hi all, My wife is Canadian citizen and I am applying outland (we are in UK currently, but will arrive in Canada end of September) as her spouse. Following explanation here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/updates/2014/2014-12-22.asp we submitted an application for Open Work...

Thanks torontosm, we went with vmedia and have an appointment shceduled the day after we arrive, will try to update with how that works out...

We will be landing in Windsor, ON 1st October, we have a rental lined up and have access a week or so before we land. We would like to get a broadband service available as soon as possible, ideally even before we arrive. What are the options and the likely lead time - do ISPs generally...

Thanks, that is reassuring. I was hoping (common sense rule) that we would be processed as a group but having not crossed a border since 9/11 I don't have any first hand experience of just how strict it can be.

So my wife is a Canadian Citizen as are my three children (11,6,6). My Father-in-Law has got PR and is 92 with mild dementia - he gets forgetful and confused some of the time, particularly when tired or stressed. I will be entering on dual intent with a spousal PR application in progress. We...

Thanks for all the answers, to clarify my concern with landing at Detroit is that it adds one extra step - acceptance for entry to US, on top of acceptance for entry to Canada. We would get visas for US (certainly for me, presumably for wife, kids, FIL also), but my worry was that they may...

Quick check - we are immigrating shortly to windsor, ontario area, wife and kids are canadian citizens, FIL has PR, but I have applied for PR and will not have it yet (spousal application, will state dual intent at border). We are expecting to land at Toronto but are just considering Detroit as...

For the record £312 where I am getting it done in UK (basic medical +£50 if you are over 70 and possibly extra if you need Hepatitis tests etc. not sure). If I wait for medical I will have to wait for PR app and presumably also OWP application and as I need to work from the moment I arrive that...

Ok so my situation is: UK citizen with a UK job with UK-only company. My wife is UK/Canadian citizen and we are emigrating in 3 months. I work remotely and my employer is happy for me to continue working remotely from Canada. I am applying for PR now so will not get it before we emigrate...
