    Buffalo - 2nd AOR between 15th April to 15th May

    I was a really busy in the last several weeks and wasn't able to finish my story. Anyway the official story was much less interesting than the chick story, but it's necessary to finish it. After finalizing things with the border officer, I was directed to the cashier to pay any tax duty which...

Here is my experience for official thing (and later on with some "chicks" - keep on reading, it won't be long) I drove my own car to Buffalo and crossing Peace Bridge to the other side without any serious delay (it took me about...

    Thanks Garian4u, it's a good idea not to convert all USD to CAD... The exchange rate is ridiculous right now. I would prefer bringing cash across the border to traveler checks or wire transfer. SD

    Haha, I told you!! And i'm not too surprised you got the PPR. It took the PP about 5-6 weeks to be returned to me via normal mail. I included the prepaid Fedex label but they don't want to use it, as clearly said "not for individual use" in the instruction. I'm still compiling the list to...

    You might send the inquiry to Buffalo and express your concern with the upcoming expired date for the Med Results. I'm sure they don't want you to miss that date

    If you got the Med Req, you shouldn't be worried. Some people got "Decision made" without receiving the Request, that's a really negative signal ;)

    Grear PND, I would imagine doing the same thing to you :). I will be staying few days in Canada and being back to US right away. You haven't mentioned about the proof of funding. I guess 7k CAD in cash and bank statement right. SD

    Hi shar533, I think that will be a big problem and we are in the same boat :D. We won't know the VIN if we don't buy it before landing. And we have one and only chance. I'm looking on Craigslist to sell and buy another car at the same time and it's not easy at all, along with filling out the...
