Re: Temporary Car Insurance in UK with Canadian License

We switched my Dad's insurance to Churchill, who will cover for 90 days in a policy year. The 90 days doesn't need to be consecutive, so you can cover multiple trips back to the UK within that year....

Re: What we driving in canada ? Any good deals (post covid)

We arrived in Canada in January 2019 and quickly bought a Jeep Compass 2.4. Quite a fun little car and my wife liked the size.

Re: Car Insurance NOVA SCOTIA 2019

Glad you got a good deal with Sonnet - our house insurance would be $2600 per year with them compared to $1500 with The Co-operators in Dartmouth for the same level of coverage. Just shows it pays to...

Re: 1st Landing and layover

We recently did this at Toronto - it took over 2 hours for immigration and then we had to do goods to follow. Took about 3 hours in total. I would be shocked if you could do it all in 1.5 hours...

Re: Buying a Car 'Out of Province'

Thanks for all of the helpful points. We arrived 2 weeks ago and agreed with the advice that buying a cheap local car to get us going was the way forward. We ended up with a 2014 Jeep Compass 4x4...
