CanadaCanadian citizen coming to USA
The beauty (sarcasm)of going to the USA is that each POE guard seems to have their set of rules! So no one can say exactly what will take place! I traveled frequently to the USA, never had a problem!

As well keep in mind, there is a reason why Cdn Snowbirds come back before their 6 months are up----they do NOT want to loose the Cdn health care!!

It also depends on how YOU act and present yourself. You may unknowingly be giving off signals that something just isn't right! Or the tone of ur voice may be rude, sound worried, etc etc. As I mentioned in another thread, they are trained in trying to find people lying. They only have that brief encounter to make decision to allow you to pass or pass u along to secondary.

Sorry to hear, the majority do not have problems, but as you know, some do! All comes down to the POE officer. Sorry to hear about this.

CanadaPOE Review and a couple of questions...

Congrats guys! Glad the drive went well, as well as the POE process!

I've got various people trying to dissuade me from the 3000 mile drive from Vancouver to Washington D.C., but I'm pretty adamant about it. I'm quite looking forward to it, actually. :P



Its a nice drive! I did it differently from you of course. I went from Victoria to Winnipeg--on course for 6 months, then drove from Winnipeg to DC. I like to drive, find it relaxing. Well driving around the DC area is anything but relaxing,lol I used to be a very mellow driving, that isnt the case now

CanadaPOE Review and a couple of questions...
Congrats! Guess that up to you if you want to travel outside the USA on the k1, but I do believe the k1 is a 1 time use. There was 1 cdn gal that came in on a K1 and did head back over to Canada multiple times with no problems, then on one occasion she got stopped and denied entry to the USA. The problem is that some POE guards no the rules, some don't, some enforce them, some don't!. Another poster mentioned k2?? isn't that for a child coming over accompanied by their parent who is on a k1? Congrats

Canadaswitching highschool
You prob do not need this, but here it is anyway,lol Prior to getting accepted into my nursing program they required a transcript of ones High school marks, and if you were from another country, ie Canada, one had to get them verified. I used http://www.education...g/procedure.htm and they were outstanding. I had the results back (1 copy sent to me, 1 directly to the school) BEFORE they had even cashed my cheque!

And again, prob doesn't pertain to this situation, but lot of classes/courses are offered online now. Idid many of my pre-req's online. Some, al one had to do was attend the labs in portion, or met like once a month in class. Schools are becoming a lot more flexible.
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2010-01-03 20:52:00
Canadaswitching highschool
Community college is a great route to go, a lot less $$$$. One just has to ensure credits transfer. Not all do. Not sure if I can explain this right,but one could take a "BIO" 101 and it would transfer to a 4 yr program, but if you took a biology class offered by the community college, and it was a NAS 101 (stil a bio class) it would only transfer to a select few universities, make sense? lol

Flames9_RNMaleCanada2010-01-05 16:28:00
CanadaShould I close my Canadian credit cards...

I kept one Canadian bank account and credit card when I moved to the US. I informed them of my new address and told them I would be living in the US.

I use my Canadian credit card whenever I travel to Canada to avoid the fees I get charged when I used my US debit card.

The only problem I have encountered is that I cannot pay my Canadian credit card using online banking from my US bank account. I have to mail a check to my Canadian credit card to make a payment.



thats when Customhouse.com comes in handy. I tx $$ back and forth with ease.

Presidents choice does not allow it--but i just use my parents addy. I keep very little in the acct, like less than $1.
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2010-01-04 11:04:00
CanadaShould I close my Canadian credit cards...

Trailmix brings up a good point. I've noticed that some US credit card/bank card companies assess a service charge for out-of-country use. In other words, a lot of the US credit cards should not be used/are not intended for international purchases.



Yep found that out the hard way a few yrs back! can't recall which CC it was, but they tacked on a hefty surcharge for using it in Canada!! Not all do, so best to call them!

Both my sisters are RN's, and gave birth in Fall of 2008. 1 did use a doula. Some hospitals do allow a Doula. My Maternity portion of my nursing career consists of only half a semester, thank go,lol but in that short time, saw a few child births go from natural to an emergency C section, and yes there are Dr's that prefer doing a C-section, so they make any excuse to do one! One may say a hospital is for the "sick" and for the most part that is true, BUT maternity is big $$$$, most of the rooms I have seen around here in the DC area are top notch! 1 would think they are staying in a hotel. Everyone has their own choices, as long as they make an educated 1 thats great.

I wish I was partying too! Unfortunately I spent hours and hours trying to get my Christmas shopping done to no avail. I got some stuff but not everything I really needed. I've had some bad customer service experiences already this year... I had a woman try to sell me a scratched up necklace at this engraving store and then argued with me when I said it was all scratched because it was the display item, had a waiter at Champs serve us food and then NEVER came back for the whole dinner (tip=zero!) and then at Target the checkout lady was talking to a woman at the checkout she knows in some way and spent a good 10 minutes just chatting away with her and completely ignoring me. I don't have all day! Rawr, I love Christmas but its already annoying me.

Next week is Christmas party week! I have one at Dave and Busters on Wednesday (I love that place so much we had our rehearsal dinner there laughing.gif) and then there is a casino party up in the mountains Saturday and some kind of family hoopla on Sunday. After the week I just had bring on the Margaritas!



good day to goto dave and busters on Wednesdays as they offer half price games! As well u can sign up online at daveandbusters for free $10 in game play! takes up to 72 hrs to get it, so do it today!! http://www.daveandbusters.com/
