Settlement Checklist: Moving from US to Canada

[jetsons]

Hi ,

We are planning to relocate to canada for good in a few months. I just wanted to check if someone can provide some checklist or pointers to posts which enlists all the items that needs to be taken care, dos-donts etc before moving in detail. Example car export, drivers license history , bank account closure etc

0. Sell home
1. Move car (export and import)
2. Move money, 401k, HSA account, etc

Thats it.

In Canada:
1. Apply for Drivers License (no exam; its a swap if you have US one)
2. Get a home - buy/rent
3. In 3 months, apply for health card
4. Setup banking - investment, mutual funds, retirement accounts, etc
