My company uses DHL - http://www.dhl.ca/ratetariff/

Where in Vancouver is your friend? If they are in the Downtown area I would be happy to pick up the card and mail it to you. I don't know of any "inexpensive" couriers unfortunately....

Great post, and good for you for admitting that the move back may not have been what you really wanted after all! I left the UK 16 years ago and have lived in Oz, Hong Kong, and the US. Although I...

Re: SIN card
