Hey Everyone,
I am planning on moving to Windsor, Ontario from Detroit, MI by road using ambassador bridge on 7/11/21. I have a couple of questions regarding the process.
1) I am driving a U-Haul with my car on auto transport along with it. I plan on taking a loan from a Canadian bank and paying off my US auto loan and then doing the import process. So for now, I'm taking a letter of authorization from my bank allowing me to travel to Canada legally since I plan on coming back again before the 30 days period. That should go smoothly right?
2) Can I bring my mattress along with me? I read that you can as long as you are coming in a settler you don't need the fumigation certificate(https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Mattress_Fumigation-Canada).
3) I want to travel back to Detroit if it is possible, I plan on using AVR. What documents would I need cause I don't have my H1B stamping but have an approved 797? And would I get a stamp on the passport?
4) I also want to apply for a NEXUS card to make travel easier eventually. I read that(https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/nexus/application-demande-eng.html) 'Permanent residents of Canada and the U.S. must have resided as legal residents of Canada or the U.S. for a minimum of three years before the day of application', so when I get my PR card I can apply for NEXUS card cause I was a legal resident of US(6 years of stay f+h1b) and am a permanent resident of Canada?
5) I read that we have 60 days to get a Canadian license, and if I show proof of 3 years of driving experience I can get a G2 License. My current license has about 1 year on it of experience dated on it. I have all of my older licenses too, can I use them as proof or should I get a driving record from SOS. And would they provide it for 3 years?
Sorry for the long thread, any and all help is appreciated. Also, I plan on documenting my experience for anyone who has similar doubts and am preparing a checklist for all the steps to do for landing that I found through extensive research(so many hours when I should have been working)
