Re: Citizenship - Called for Test from the UK....

Ok, Thanks Lancastrian. Useful link too. Yes I guess, even though would be there for the test then returning to the UK for a spell, they asked me to attend and know I'm not resident just now.

Re: Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) Continue.....

Thanks again Jon. I'll take a look at the website. Yes RSPs seem to be a good option overall, given the employer contributes and there's some tax relief. Though yes you get taxed to some extent...

Hiya Duncan and all,
Can't recommend Bekins. Awful, and gave a wildly overpriced quote. But it looks like you have other companies to choose from
Cheers and Good Luck.
