Canada	What do you do?	QUOTE (Emancipation @ Apr 17 2009, 01:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> THAT is a cool job JillA! TOTALLY.. so when my architectural millwork firm sent a container to Barbados a few years back you could have totally hooked me up? Ah.... I do administrative assisting now. I used to be an office manager for an architectural millwork firm, and before that I was a youth pastor. I could have totally hooked you up! We go to pretty much every continent, anywhere a ship can go we can go too! I also came to Philly on business a few times as the Philly office is the US headquarters, and the port is here too where many of our ships sail off the east coast. So, I met my American love through work therefore I'm happy I worked there A youth pastor - that must have been a rewarding job for you to do.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-17 12:39:00
Canada	What do you do?	Sometimes I wonder, what do you do? Often people speak about their jobs & bosses, good and bad and it makes me wonder what you all do. I'm just curious When I was employed in Canada, I used to work for a shipping agency. I handled customer service, import and export. So say you were moving from Canada or the US to Australia, NZ, South America, Africa, you'd call me and I'd provide you with a rate. If you liked the rate, you'd make the booking with me and I'd arrange a shipping container to go to your home or business or whatever and also handle the customs paperwork. We made bookings for lots of interesting stuff, pork, beef, airplane parts, tires, and had a lot of big companies as customers, like Walmart, Old Navy, Sobeys. It was a good job and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Now that I'm legal to work, starting to look for a new job and it made me think: what do you all do?	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-17 12:31:00

Canada	why did u choose to live in US instead of Canada?	That's a good question.... my husband was 100% willing to move to Canada.... but he has a really good job and makes great $$ and has excellent benefits, so it made more sense for me to come here. He could support me fine, but on my salary at home I don't think I could have supported both of us on my salary. I do often think about the maternity leave issue, as I want to have kids and am not taking 6 weeks.... I wish it was a year here like Canada.... I think health care can be better here if you have insurance obviously, I have a really good doctor and have seen a different side of health care. Education is hard to say because I have no experience with the education system here, but have heard some horror stories so I'm biased to say Canada is better.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-17 13:16:00

Canada	Hockey thread!	Being a Montrealer, I am a HABS fan through and through! My Dad had season tickets growing up and we went to so many games. I used to LOVE Jose Theodore, he was one sexy goalie if you ask me. Now I love Saku Koivu just because he's been through so much personally and is a great leader. They are going through some ####### right now, but I hope to see them bounce back soon! I have some great memories of the old Montreal forum (that's now a shopping mall/cinema!) **forgot to say, Americans generally have no idea the Canadiens are referred to as the HABS in Canada.

Canada	Canadian travel with AP, What to say when re-entering US?	I recently used my AP to return home from Canada as well, travelling by car. This is how it went: Drove up to the border guard, handed him my passport with AP copies inside. BG: Citizenship ME: Canadian BG: Where are you going & why ME: Philadelphia, I live there BG: How long were you away and what were you doing ME: 2 weeks visiting family and friends At this point he had looked at the AP and said "you have to be paroled in, please go inside" and he shot my passport with AP inside a tube to the office. Went into secondary, had to wait a while because it was busy then the BG inside processed my AP. Quite easy and simple!	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-22 16:13:00

I look back on everything that happened in that relationship and it changes your perception. You saw it one way for so long and then you leave and you see the other sides, but it takes accepting to see those other sides. That's a process. It doesn't just happen. I don't think people who are in love want to see the people they love in a bad light that's obvious. Sometimes the signs are there but we just don't want to see them. Other times we just don't see them at all. My question is... could you and would you stand by someone like this and for how long? Would you cut your losses right away? Would you try to gather all of the evidence you can before making a decision? Would you try to stick up for him in the media? I imagine it's so hard. I agree with you 100%! My last relationship before this one was volatile, looking back. At the time I was in denial about everything and wanted to believe him when he was telling me lies. My heart knew they were lies, but I chose to believe him. So one day I'm on our computer and I found an e-mail he had sent to his ex-GF that I was sure he still had feelings for stating she was really his soulmate and he couldn't wait to be with her again.... she lived out of Canada at the time and was waiting for her to come back. It crushed me and when I confronted him, he cried and said it wasn't true what he wrote to her, he really loved me and begged to give him a second chance. I did, stupidly! Love is so freaking blind and stupid I had no clue how dumb I was. The signs were there alright but I chose to ignore them. The breaking point came when we were discussing what would happen if I became pregnant and he said that if I didn't get an abortion, he'd break up with me as he was never wanting to be a father. The day he said that I dumped him and never looked back. Looking back, I'm like how the hell was I so blind and stupid? All the signs were there he wanted to get back with his ex and I chose to ignore them and play the fool. He was wrong for me in every way, but I pretended to only see the good and ignore the bad.

I've snaked out of a couple situations using this method. Once, I was driving over by myself with a bunch of stuff in my car going to Cedar Point in Ohio by myself! The guy was like, you're going to Cedar Point by yourself? I was like "no sir, I'm meeting people there" **bats eyelashes** and he gave me an odd suspicious look and said... "Ok... have fun..." On another occasion, I got my brother into the US with no ID other than his DL. I said he didn't know of the requirements, and that I promised he was born in Canada.

On a more serious note, how specific should one be when compiling a list of goods your importing at the POE? Is it enough to just say, "one box of childhood toys, 2 boxes of books, 2 boxes of shoes" etc. Or should I specifically write out each item? Please say no!! lol Again, I had a really detailed list (20 pages LOL!) and they didn't ask, it went like this: (I used those plastic bins with snap on lid) BIN # 1: Books BIN # 2: Kettle, dishes, cutlery, blender, george forman grill Yes I was that specific!

You'll wait for them to call your name and then they'll process you in. Once that's done you will import your car. If you're crossing at the Peace Bridge you'll go over to the Customs building. If you're crossing at Queenston it's in the same building. You'll need your registration and your letter of compliance. You'll also need to tell them the value of the vehicle. Low-ball it because you may have to pay State taxes when you go to register it. Here's the Kelley Blue Book site if you need help. Hopefully, your car isn't new, otherwise you'll need to pay duty on it. Someone else will be able to help you out regarding crossing with a child. Thanks for the info....what's considered new? My car will be 5 months old when I cross. I think JillA had mentioned that PA had no State taxes for her, but maybe I should double check to make sure there are no weird stipulations... I will be crossing at Lewiston I crossed at Lewiston and they did not ask me the value of my car, I didn't know you had to pay duty on a new car, I suppose it has to do with the person working that day.... the guy had to pull out a binder to look up what to do, what forms to fill out.... My car was 3 yrs old but they didn't even ask and I would have just guessed the value. No state taxes on my car in PA, but maybe that's cause my car wasn't "new"..... I don't think it should make a difference, new or old. If you're importing it for your own personal use, then that's that!

And is there POE reviews somewhere on VJ to take a look see (along the top blue bar underneath the happy couples) ? Perhaps check out your POE, cause they all seem to do things just a little bit differently. Yes it was $6 for me! I would also bring the registration with you, to prove it's in your name, etc.... Just to be safe, bring everything you may be asked for by an ####### border guard.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-23 09:13:00
Canada	Camping in Wheatley, Ontario this weekend :)	Awww have fun! I'm not a big camping person myself, every summer I used to go to Banff "camping" but it was in my family's winnebago, not a tent.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-24 09:47:00
