Re: Bankers Draft without Canadian Bank Account

On a visit to Canada, before moving here, I opened an account at CIBC. All I needed was my UK passport and/or UK Driving license. The lady in the bank was surprised, but that was all the website...

Re: Orthodontic costs in Ontario

Circa $5k in Ontario too, although quotes did vary. For us it was much cheaper to pay up-front than to do the monthly options, although I suppose you have to be sure you won't be moving away...

Re: Bringing Dog to canada - final clarifications

A quick tip for dog moving that I remember... bring a bit of cord/thin-rope when you fly. You can tie two trolleys together which permits simple movement of an Extra Large crate in an airport!

Re: Sending parcels from Ontario to England

We shipped something this week, and discovered that parcels were 50% off at Purolator right now. It actually worked out cheaper than Canada post.

Re: Shipping company is driving me mad! Please help!

We went with Crown for the shipping, and Letton Percival for the insurance. Worked out well, but as I say - had to knock the price down some.

Re: Shipping company is driving me mad! Please help!

When we moved, we found that there was a lot of room for negotiation once we had obtained a few quotes. In our case it was a sole container to Ontario.

We had the usual suspects come round but...

Re: ESTA for US travel?

If you can spare a few dollars, get the ESTA anyway. It is quicker to get the I94W at the border if you have an ESTA.

Re: URGENT HELP NEEDED- eTa Processing time for Temporary Resident

A plus-point for WestJet there!
Hopefully the eTA will come soon. Failing that I guess you take a luxury liner or google for space on a cargo ship :-)

Have you already got an ESTA for the US perhaps? (I don't know what the rules on cautions are for that - perhaps you can get one quicker than an ETA)

Re: Exchange licence, register car .. in what order?

In my opinion, get your license first and then the car - which is how I did it.

You get your license at an office where they will give you a paper version whilst the card is on order. The paper...

Re: Customs

In 2014, my shipper initially claimed that I would have to attend. I sent them a stamped goods-to-follow list (a long detailed list!), and in fact I didn't have to attend.
