Re: What Do You Wish You Brought Or Left Behind

Ship as much as you can. Particularly if you have older, quality stuff. Most furniture here is from China or Vietnam, or ikea. It’s fine, but I miss older, inherited things.

Re: 183 days or more in a row outside of Canada in last 4 years

Did you move to Canada on 28 Nov 2017 from the UK?

This application is only asking for time spent since you became a PR and moved to Canada.

So in that case you would ignore the UK stint.

Re: Coronavirus

I don’t understand why fully vaccinated people should have to quarantine. We will never get out of lockdown in this case. Double vaccine is as good as it gets, that’s the new best case scenario.

Re: Issues with completing Citizenship Application

And my point is you can choose to be one of these “select few”, if you so wish. But not clear it will speed things up.

Re: Has Canada's pandemic response made you consider moving back to UK/Europe?

Yeah I find it hard to take any positives from the UK response. Got lucky with the vaccine (as much as France was unlucky with their two domestic efforts). Everything else has been expensive,...

Re: PR renewal / citizenship question

So your PR card has expired. If you do nothing, you lose no rights, other than international travel.

It'll likely take a while to get citizenship in current environment. I'd personally renew my PR...

Re: Keeping UK bank accounts open after moving to Canada

Auto-top-up is useful if you use it often enough - I find I don't, so I need to be told to use my phone to keep the number alive. If holidaying in UK or EU I recommend a goody bag.

Re: Keeping UK bank accounts open after moving to Canada

Re: Keeping UK bank accounts open after moving to Canada

Yes I think with GiffGaff you can only top up with a debit / credit card anyway. It's not like Lyca or those corner shop SIM cards. It's owned by O2. I recommend it to everyone in the UK too. I used...
