Yeah, well... the Canadians here are apparently "allowed" to say whatever they want about the U.S., whereas I am -- for some reason or another -- forbidden to say anything about Canada. mad.gif

And no, I am not "coming to the rescue" of the United States. I am stating my opinion. Just as everone else is, I might add. I guess I'm not permitted to do that either -- unless it's glowing approval of Canada. I rarely see anything positive about the U.S. from the Canadians here. wacko.gif

No matter what it is, everything I buy with my debit card is a PENDING transaction! In Canada, no matter what bank I used, the money was debited right away so I always knew how much money I had in the bank. Here, some times it takes companies and banks 4 or 5 days to process a simple transaction like clothes or something. It just really bothers me.

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but in the U.S., our debit card system is different. Ours are "off-line" debit cards, which means they can be swiped like a credit card and then signed for. No PIN required. You can also use a PIN, but that doesn't stop anyone from using it as a credit card. In fact, most debit card suppliers urge customers to use their debit card like a credit card to avoid excess charges, all of which occur if used like a PIN-required debit card.

The above makes the debit card system notoriously unreliable and a security risk. This is why debit cards have a VISA or MC logo on them. They need to backed by an established card lender. In case a customer doesn't pay, VISA or MC pay and then go after the customer. That's why PENDING is shown. The bank, as well as VISA or MC, are checking the purchases.

Breathe deep.

Ohhhh so happy.

Personally, I like the bank system in the United States. Sure, we use deposit slips and withdrawal slips most of the time, but some banks do have ATM machines in which you can deposit money and it gets added to your account. I've seen them in Houston. Unfortunately, most people don't know what to do with them and only withdraw cash (which is an alternative to using withdrawal slips).

I think what I like best about the U.S. bank system are the free checking accounts. You don't seem to find that in Canada. Every account I've seen here has either a monthly fee or a balance amount that needs to be maintained or you get slapped with a fee. That's ridiculous in my opinion. I've had free checking accounts my entire life. To suddenly demand payment for the so-called privilege of using their bank is absurd. mad.gif

You can pay bills online -- in fact, that's what I always do and so does my dad. However, it's not uncommon to pay bills by check. Sometimes it's the only way to do it (i.e. government payment). Most of the time, however, you can pay online in the United States.

As for changing money, most U.S. banks do not offer this capability. However, there are money changing offices -- such as American Express -- that'll do it for you. Usually, these offices are close to banks. I know the one I used was, but maybe that was strictly chance. One thing you should know is that if you change money at an American Express office, they'll charge you a $5 fee to do so. It's $3 if you have an AMEX card. Big difference, right? wacko.gif

My only real disagreement with PopRocks are her comments on "generalization."

Generalizing isn't always a bad thing. If you say, "My co-workers are idiots" that is a generalization. Are all of your co-workers idiots? Probably not. However, you've made that generalization based upon past experiences. If you thought about it more, you'd pick out which co-workers are idiots.

Look at the Canada Forum. We often say that this forum is "more polite and well-behaved than other forums, especially OT." Is that true? Sometimes it is, but this forum has its share of rowdiness and jerks. It's a generalization to make the above statement.

Generalizing keeps us sane. The human mind can't detail everything. We make generalizations as guidelines to follow based upon our life experiences. We can break down these generalizations into more specific categories when needed, but until that situation comes up, we use generalizations to help us function in society.

I once asked this a long time ago, but... how do Canadians tip strippers? In the U.S., you generally walk up to the stripper dancing on stage and give her a few bucks. Sometimes she lets you stuff the cash into panties and other times you can just toss it onto the stage.

The problem I see with Canadian cash is that there are $1 and $2 coins. So what do Canadians do? Do you fling loonies at her? Maybe part of her routine is avoiding a barrage of coins? tongue.gif


Canadians are not that cheap, they use a $5 bill.

That goes to show how long it's been since I last visited a strip club! tongue.gif

CanadaHow do you feel about strippers?
I'm visiting Houston soon (yes, in August, the worst month to go) because my brother will be there for a week. I'm not overly thrilled at seeing my Dad, but at least I'm only staying a week.

The point of the above is that my brother is interested in visiting a strip club. I know he'd like me along, so I told my wife about it. She thought it'd be okay, so long as I don't get a lap dance or actively "handle" the strippers. She knows that strippers will sometimes plop themselves right down in your lap, hoping they'll get money out of you for a dance or two.

I'm not quite sure why she's worried. She knows I wouldn't do anything behind her back -- even if I wanted to, why would I inform her of anything? I've been to a strip club three times in my life. The first time was awesome (a friend brought me there for my 18th birthday), but after that it got very boring. Sure, a lap dance is fun, but unless you're looking for "extras" (which I wasn't) there's not a whole lot to do, other than burn lots of money.

CanadaHow do you feel about strippers?
I've been to strip clubs a total of three times in my life. The first time I went I was 18 and it was fantastic to see a naked woman giving me a lap dance. Looking back at it, however, it wasn't that great and even worse, it was a little weird (i.e. no VIP rooms).

As someone else stated earlier in this thread, the type of strip club available varies upon location. In Houston, TX, the strip clubs were divided into two categories: 18+ and 21+ places. Those that allowed 18+ couldn't legally SERVE alcohol, but they didn't have a problem with patrons bringing in their own. In addition, strippers at clubs that are 18+ can dance fully naked. If you go to a 21+ club, they'll serve alcohol (and sometimes food or even a buffet), but the strippers have to keep their g-strings on.

I suppose it's worth noting that if a patron and a stripper go into one of the VIP rooms, the underwear comes off if at a 21+ club. Although strippers are supposed to keep to dancing, many will opt for other activities if the price is right. It's not uncommon for the police to raid strip clubs and arrest strippers for prostitution. Just how often this occurs depends on strip club, time of day, time of month, the patron and the stripper herself.

That's how strip clubs generally work on a daily basis. I've never been to a bachelor party (I didn't have one myself) so I can't comment on what does and does not usually happen.

Coming from the U.S. and moving to Canada, I've found that getting work is incredibly difficult. No one wants to hire you if you lack Canadian references, for instance. How am I supposed to have references in Canada if I just immigrated here?

Be adivsed that there isn't free healthcare everywhere in Canada despite what you hear in the American news. If healthcare without a fee is important to you, do not go to Vancouver or B.C. as you will pay a premium for your healthcare. There are other provinces as well that require you support your own healthcare.
Having said that, it depends on what you are looking for in an environment. Please check out travel websites, photo sites and then the chamber of commerce for each city you are interested in.
If you are a white collar worker, you will want to stay in the larger cities.

This is absolutely true. I pay for my "free" health care through both premiums and taxation.

I'd also stay away from BC if you want to choose your auto insurance companies. There's only one auto insurer in BC (which is run by the government) and they charge a ton. For ONE car, with my wife and I on a fairly basic plan, it costs me over $3000 per year. Unless I want to drive uninsured, I can't do anything about it.

I've also found the majority of people in Vancouver (and the outlying areas) to be extremely rude. The drivers are horrendous as well. They're unnervingly aggressive and just plain bad. I've dealt with my fair share of a$$holes (both on and off the road) in Houston, but nothing as bad as I've experienced here.

In all fairness, Vancouver does have its positive side. The SkyTrain is nice, Lonsdale Quay is neat and there are some great parks. That's about all I can think of right now.



Sheeshkebobin - had no idea about the single autoinsurer in BC - interesting there are such differences from province to province on these types of things

Yeah, a lot of people are surprised by that. I was too and I still dislike it. If there was more than one auto insurer, there would be competition and that'd probably drive the price down. At the very least, there'd be better benefits since each company would have an incentive to get clients. As it is in BC, there's no incentive at all and you simply have to pay up if you want to drive legally.

Maybe it seems silly to get so angry about that, but $3000 (actually somewhat over that) is a lot of money to pay on an yearly basis.

How much is the premium for HC in BC?

I'll need to check. I don't recall the price off the top of my head. In all fairness, it's lower than health insurance in the U.S.; however, BC Health doesn't cover medication. I take a lot of prescription medication (I spent over $200 a couple of days ago on one month's worth of two of my five prescriptions), so I'll probably require health insurance, in addition to BC Health's premiums, in order to cover me. Most people, however, probably don't take as many drugs as I do. For them BC Health is probably plenty.

Does anyone know of a website/support group who has good info about this? I'd just like to read more about it, for my own curiosity.



It's NOT faster, and NOT less expensive, I can tell you that much. I have 3 friends who are currently trying to bring their spouses into Canada. I also know there's a forum similar to VJ in reverse.. lol but I've heard it's not as active, and I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what the link is... hopefully someone else does.

I can try to get some basic information from my friends, but from what I have heard so far, it's definitely not much better by comparison... sad.gif You still have to jump through just as many hoops really.

I don't know about your friends, but in my case, immigrating to Canada was extremely quick. From start to finish, it took six months. Compared to how long it often takes to immigrate to the U.S., I'd say immigrating to Canada is faster. But then again, that's my experience.

The Canadian government even has a cute little pamphlet on dual citizenship.

I picked one up a couple yrs ago when I got my passport.


As a side, you can also become a Canadian citizen without giving up your US citizenship (i.e. the process in reverse). While the US says they don't 'recognize' dual citizenship, they don't make you renounce your citizenship. My fiance and his family did that, as did a couple of my friends.

It all depends on what country you are from, and where you're going to, but between Canada and the US it's fine. Just don't tell the border people that you're dual citizen. It means nothing to them. I figure it'd be easier when you're going into Canada to say you're Canadian, and when you're going into the US say you're American.

I wouldn't have immigrated to Canada if I was forced to lose my American citizenship. I'm sure most Canadians wouldn't have immigrated to the U.S. if they had to give up their Canadian citizenship as well.

"when you apply for citizenship for USA you will verbally denounce your canadian citzenship at the ceremony to obtain american citizenship as long as you dont write a formal letter to the canadian government that you want to give up your citizenship as a canadian you cant lose your citizenship."

so what is the real deal people?

The U.S. citizenship oath does make you verbally renounce your citizenship; however, that means absolutely nothing to Canada, so you keep your Canadian citizenship. So as long as you don't give up your citizenship in Canada, you still remain a Canadian citizen.

The U.S. tolerates dual citizenship, but does not recognize any other citizenship besides that of American when you're within U.S. borders. Some countries don't allow dual citizenship at all (I've heard Germany is like this) and other countries, like Canada, easily allow it.

If you don't like that or feel I was somehow "insulting" you, then that's your problem. I wasn't doing that and I can't be held accountable for however you may interpret my post.


You were telling me what the difference was like I didn't know. I didn't say you called me 5 years old, I asked you not to treat me like a baby.

I think no one has picked a fight with you for awhile over your strong opinions so you got uber defensive.

Cheer up charlie. It's a f*cking internet post. I certainly don't have time in my life to even give a ######.

In reference to the original "iced tea vs sweet tea" comment, I think you should know I wasn't actually speaking to you, but hey... if it makes you feel better, think whatever you want. rolleyes.gif

By the way... if you were trying to pick a fight with me, that says little about your maturity. If you don't want to be treated like a child, don't act like one.

I do. I've always had iced tea without sugar. That's how it's commonly served in Houston. If you want to add sugar, that's up to you, but they don't automatically toss it in. Sweetened iced tea is often referred to as "sweet tea" in order to differentiate between the two.


Deadpool, I'm not 5 years old and I'm not THAT foreign. I'm completely aware of what sweet tea is...some times I think you think we are just a bunch of Canadians who have not gotten used to American life at all. I've lived here for 3 years..sweet tea is something I have come across a few times

If you put your own sugar in it, then i COMPLETELY understand...

If you just drink it like it is...YUCK. It's cold tea!


Do you know someone who just drinks it like that with no sugar??? UGH natty!!!

CanadaDesperate for some Canadian Tea in USA
The tea in the U.S. and Canada tastes the same to me, but I'm not a good judge on this. I rarely drank hot tea in the U.S. and even in Canada it's unusual for me to do so.

The one tea-related thing that bugs me in Canada is that I simply can't find unsweetened iced tea in any restaurant I go to. My wife makes unsweetened iced tea for me (and adds sugar to hers if she wants some). but otherwise, it's not something common at all here.

In fact, I once requested unsweetened iced tea at a restaurant and the waitress look at me oddly and then asked, "You're American aren't you?" Yeah, I am, but what does that have to do with whether or not I want sugar in my iced tea? Plenty of Americans like sweetened iced tea and I have trouble believing no Canadian wants unsweetened iced tea.

CanadaImmigration Lawyer - Minnesota
Most people on this board will say something to the tune of "don't bother with an immigration lawyer" or "immigration lawyers are clueless." Some definitely are and if you put the time and energy into doing the process yourself, you really don't need one. However, if you don't have the time or aren't particularly careful when filling out forms and reading directions, you may want a lawyer. As with any professional, you'll need a good one and those might be difficult to come by -- at least ones that are easily affordable.

One thing to remember is that Visa Journey is a site dedicated to the "do-it-yourself" style of immigration. If you can do it yourself -- and many, including myself, have done just that -- then there's no need to hire a lawyer. However, I might advise you to have a consultation with an immigration attorney. Sometimes those are free (and even if it's not, it's usually a small charge) and make up your mind then.
