Canada	montreal consulate	Montreal was great. The officer we had was really nice. Even answered some of our questions that we weren't sure they would take the time to do. Take money for the ending machines if you are apt to get the muchies. It really was a piece of cake though.	Kelly and Norma	Not Telling	Canada	2006-10-17 20:13:00
Canada	Temp Work Authorization at POE	Last year I crossed in Detroit ... asked for the stamp. At first the guy told me they don't do that anymore. I then pointed out that I already had a job lined up ... he looked at the officer working the desk beside him. This guy shrugged his shoulders ... and they guy that was dealing with me reached over took the stamp and put it in my passport. I think they PREFER not to do it ... but tell them you hava a job lined up ... Don't forget though ... it is only good for the 90 days that your Visa is good for (if you enter on a K1 like I did). We went to City Hall and got married two days after I arrived then we filed my I-485 and EAD right away so it came before my temporary EAD ran out :-)	Kelly and Norma	Not Telling	Canada	2006-10-17 20:10:00
Canada	credit	I opened a bank account here with Wells Fargo. I then went into the bank and talked to a real person. They told me that they COULD check my Canadian credit score but to do an international credit check it costs them $140. She said unless I was applying for a mortgage no one was going to fork over that kind of money to check my perfectly good Canadian history. I ended up lucking out. After I pointed out to this personal Banker that I had worked for the same company for 18 years, lived in the same home for 11 years, owned my house, had a line of credit, multiple credit cards and owned my car ... she said "let me see what I can do". She then entered a bunch of things into her computer and "Voila" an approval for a credit card. I think sometimes it just takes a person with the right access and their head screwed on straight to know what to do in order to get the job done.
