Can she not get a cashiers check from her Canadian bank drawn in $US ???


Thanks for the tip about Comerce! We're going to look into the option of a $US check/money order from her bank.

Why not use your ATM card and take advantage of the dollars daily depreciation :P


Her ATM doesn't work in the States and she'll still need to close her account. Where in Delco are you? I'm in Media.

CanadaBringing Money
I know money transefers have been brought up before, but does anyone know if they'll change CAD to USD at the border? The reason I ask is my credit union dosesn't accept foreign currency deposits. They recommended having an account with a larger commercial bank for this. My fiancee said she'd make withdraws from her account in US funds, but I don't want to walk around with that much cash on hand. I guess I could see if her bank (TD Bank) could give her a check in Canadian funds when she closes it out. Thanks.

Okay, she has a copy of her birth cert. It was a long form copy that we submitted, the one the government wants everyone to get. I got a little nervous there. :wacko:

CanadaPOE Question
We didn't get a copy of the vaccination supplement. Can my fiancee call the place where she had her medical done for this, or is it too late?

CanadaPOE Question
Once again, it's my turn to put on the silly question cap, being that I'm three weeks away from going to Bala to move my fiancee. I already did it with my money post, and this time it's another question about our POE. What do they give you back that's in the magicaly sealed envelope? I rememeber reading that they give you your evidence back, but what else? Thanks.

I miss poppies for Remembrance Day :(


Sorry for jumping in so late here, but I've seen veterans with poppies. I don't remember what holiday it was for but they usually ask for a donation and they'll give you one. I've seem them here(US) my whole life.

CanadaInspired by flames
Glad to see everyone got in the spirit, all because of flames9. :)

I never thought about how much sugar I put in coffe(I've weaned myself down to one in a 12 oz), but reading a post about the high fructose corn syrup and seeing how my in-laws to be try to limit there sugar, I think about it a little more. Dunkin Donuts coffee is almost too sweet now, but that doesn't stop me.

That's because we like our coffee strong. It doesn't need to say "Always Fresh/Toujours Frais" because it aways is. ^_^

Do you get Wawa where you are? I know they're in VA Beach.

Since I'm always raving about Wawa coffee over Tim's, and because I can be unoriginal at times, I've decided to change my avatar from our two nations flags to a cup of Wawa coffee. Thanks for the idea flames! I know this kind of info doesn't warrant a new post, but I've got time to kill until my fiancee calls tonight.

CanadaCurious about when to file AOS

My husband will enter tomorrow on his K-3. It's a Sunday. I hope to have his AOS in the mail as soon as the Post Office opens on Monday. The EAD will be included in the pile of docs and it's all going to the Chicago lockbox. Hope I'm doing the right thing...


Hope he has a good trip! At least the bitter cold will help him transition a little better. :) Are there any Post Offices near you open on Sunday? There's one at the mall that has Sunday hours.

CanadaCalling Montreal Consulate
I posted this in the Montreal waiting room thread. I asked the consulate about getting black-listed in an email and they said that multiple phone calls/emails don't count against you, but that you need to be patient.

CanadaA good day for myself!!!
Congrats flames! At least no one else has to suffer through the Flyers season, like me. A funny thing is happeing on the 15th of February: I'm going to Canada to move my fiancee and the Flyers are home against the Leafs. The last time I watched a Flyers/Leafs game with her family(last year), the Flyers lost 6-1, or something like that. I wonder if we'll watch the game so they can heckle me about something.

CanadaThings to do to make my Canadian feel at home.

and yet McDonalds in the US doesn't have lobster sandwiches, but McDonalds in the Maritimes does. And you can get Poutine in McDonalds in Canada, not in the US. Fast food menus are regional. Even world wide chains.


I think McDonald's has regional food choices. When we traveld to Maine every year, they'd have lobster sandwhiches there.

Is there a way to indicate you want the AP for multiple visits? I ask because the form looks like it asks when you intend to leave and return, like a "one time only" form.
