Re: Am I eligible to apply in Category Code 3112 of General Practitioner

Yes, I agree. NB is one of the easiest Provinces for a foreign doctor to get licensed. Newfoundland is the other that we know of.
Interesting that you say your friend had a much easier time of...

Re: Am I eligible to apply in Category Code 3112 of General Practitioner

Really? We've been in Canada on a TWP with my husband working as a GP for about 18 months now. He is considered fully qualified here in NB after a year of working under a provisional license. ...

Re: Car Travelling Times

Done both and those quoted times are pretty accurate.

Subtract about 15 to 20 minutes if you're just going to/coming from the respective airports, both of which are on the Moncton side.

Re: mortgages

Moncton, eh? Try this guy (http://www.mortgagecentre.com/index.cfm?member=stm&sl=1&CFID=1661819&CFTOKEN=20957266). He did alright by us and can probably answer your questions with more accuracy.

Re: Learn to drive over here or over there?

Another vote for learning in the UK - if she has the time and you have the money. The UK test is far harder than the Canadian one, but she'll be a better driver as a result.

Re: Shipping companies

A bit of advice (learned the hard way) to anyone shipping - check and double check any and all information that the shipping company provides you. Nitpick any and all discrepancies or omissions. Get...

Re: Shipping Report

Well done you. I'm jealous.

But I wonder if Mr. Spencer knows where his boxes 1-11 are.

Re: Do you have a "Canadian Accent" now?

Re: Buyer just pulled out!

Oh dear. Huge commiserations going (both) your way!

I'll also send some of our house selling karma your way. I'm not sure you'll be all that thrilled with it though, since we managed a grand...

Re: Recent Shipping Quotes!

True that.

Re: Do you have a "Canadian Accent" now?

I never managed to pick-up a British accent (only there for five years) but I've taken to sounding Canadian after only a month. Actually, I started after our first reccy, eh. It's very seductive,...

Re: Shipping Companies? Our saga with Doree Bonner

Rogers doesn't come down here. We're stuck with Aliant and, although they have an international plan, it's not brilliant. And yes, there will be loads more calls to the UK since two of my husband's...

Re: What shipping company to use? UK to Calgary.

Ah well, if you're in Kent stay away from the Doree Bonner Canterbury office. You can tell them I said so.

Door to door from Thanet to New Brunswick cost us £5012.10 including insurance. We...

Based on our experience, I'd stay away from them.
Long story short: They were brilliant until it came time to ship our stuff, then they only sent 4/5. Haven't heard a squeak...
