Re: Oscar Pistorius

Site Rule #16 covers multiple user names. I am not clear why this rule can be applied, since I only used the same user name as always.

I am a bit surprised an confused to the reaction. I don't...

Since I haven't been educated in the UK, I was always wondering how the UK education system would...

Re: coming to Canada, and the future of our children

I guess, we all came from somewhere in Europe.

For some immigrants the move to Canada will probably have that thought of a better life for their children in mind....

coming to Canada, and the future of our children

Has the thought and decision to immigrate to Canada by any of you been influenced by the thought of a better future for your children?

Is the education system better in Canada, than the UK?

Re: Canada ETA

is it still in the status of "proposed" or is this a law which has been passed?

Re: Citizenship test

Re: Passport Renewal

I renewed mine about a year ago. I walked into the passport office myself, handed all the paperwork in. It's all very easy and un-bureaucratic once the paperwork is filled out. Paid $50 more (...

Re: CETA and importing a vehicle from the EU to Canada

@Steve

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. Maybe I overestimated CETA. I somewhat feel it was "marketed and advertized" as more, but promises way less.

However, I should also be old...

Re: Rental in Vancouver ($1,300) Budget

$ 1,300 is realistic, however, it'll be something simple ( a one bedroom or a studio, kitchen and bathr0om in 70ies style ), or a bit further away.

Vancouver's real estate market can easily be...

Re: Do you still have to wait 2 days after your Citizenship Ceremony before Passport

I was not aware of these changes. I guess, these changes don't apply to me anymore, as it seems to be a one time thing for a first passport application.

Re: Do you still have to wait 2 days after your Citizenship Ceremony before Passport

I was not aware of this "2 days" waiting period.

When I was naturalized in 2008, I recall some people went straight to the passport office afterwards to apply for their first passport.
