Re: Another driving licence question

Re: Another driving licence question

Re: Another driving licence question

yes- that was sort of my fear. Anybody have any experience of not being asked this question or ICBC letting it slide (and no I won't just say that I arrived yesterday) :)

Re: A few questions about moving to Canada BC!

The best thing to do it to contact the Health Authorities in Vancover. With their help we moved here in about 3 months. Age isn't a factor, I have no idea about kids and pets-sorry. But if you get...

Re: Here on TWP- son wants to go to Europe with School

He'll be fine. The notarised letter should be enough, but include copies of your WPs if you really want to be sure.
