Re: driving / accidents
Your insurers in canada will assume you have a crap record and charge you accordingly anyway, unless you can prove otherwise with the appropriate documentation.

Re: driving / accidents
my partner had one 6 months before landing, we declared it and was charged accordingly;
Female age 36 on a 2006 Dodge Caravan
fully comp = $4000
liability only = $2200
We took liability!

Re: driving / accidents
I've no idea, but is 'driving without due care and attention' a criminal conviction, or just a civil one? If the former, you need to see if it will make you inadmissible to Canada. I doubt it is, but do double check.

A fortune. Have a hunt around for previous threads on the cost of car insurance in Canada, even for those with 30 years driving experience it can be extortionate.

Re: driving / accidents
I seem to recall there was a thread from a young guy about the cost of insurance on here once - he paid $6000 a year I think, and that was in Nova Scotia (Ontario supposedly more expensive).
Will have a hunt and see if I can find it, may give you some good comparables.
