Re: Is it worth bringing an iphone 4s?

We have the $56 fido planes. Unlimited messaging worldwide :) No fixed contract, I think a $15 cancellation fee if you want to move elsewhere.

Re: Credit Score

We needed to have an Amex card in the UK for a year before we were able to do a switch to an overseas card (US.) We have a card in the US for 2 years now so we should be OK to switch again.

My commute has rarely been less than an hour. At the moment it's minimum 1 1/4 hours each way. When we get to Vancouver, if it was an hour, I'd be happy enough.
