Canada	July 3 Montreal Appointment	QUOTE (ndave @ Jul 4 2008, 05:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All went smoothly for Deb's interview - she is approved! she should be in the States in 3 weeks. The only strange thing was they asked for a police report done in her married name (she's been divorced for some time now). It never crossed our minds to do this, especially since Deb never changed her name after she got married. The interviewer had to go and check with a superior as to whether it still had to be done and the final decision was it did not need to be done provided she had not changed her name when married AND that she would swear to such (which she did). Don't know if this has come up before Congrats!!! I got my police report for my married name as well even though I rarely to never used my ex's last name just to be on the safe side	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-04 08:28:00

Canada	Getting ready to move to the US	QUOTE (pegbert64 @ Jul 7 2008, 09:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (kimmbo @ Jul 5 2008, 12:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kathryns post: Use up any bonus points left on credit or account cards (Petropoints or Shoper Drugmart points, etc.); donate items to Good Will and receive income tax receipt for charitable deduction. Wow, I wonder how many of these I left hanging back in Canada?? Speaking of such, does anyone have Air Miles? This is going way back, but I have an account in my name; my ex-husband (back in Canada) has been racking up points for years, and I have tried to get them to put the account in his name, but they say that they can't do that. I figure if he is the one bothering to get the points, then he should be able to use them, but Air Miles says that since I'm the account holder, I'm the only one that can cash them in. And I don't think I can even cash them in from the US. Meanwhile, the ex (yes, he is actually a nice guy!) continues to rack up points for me, but until I can figure out what to do about it, then are just going to sit! Anyone have to deal with Air Miles across the border? Any suggestions? L (<---- who loves free stuff, but is also honest to a fault ) I closed my airmiles account by using all my points to book the hotel room in Montreal for my interview. I think you can buy stuff online with them....I'd call and find out	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-07 18:17:00

Canada	where did you first meet? online vs in person	We met on City of Heroes...an online MMORG. Neither of us were looking for anything...his character caught my eye, I private messaged him...we teamed for a bit...talked occasionally for months, then started talking more, then moved to MSN, video chatting, voice chatting...I was sooo smitten and finally he came to Canada to visit me for the first time in September 2006 and it was love at first kiss...actually...I loved him before I ever touched him. It was meant to be <3	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-06-30 21:18:00

Canada	POE crossing	I remember reading on here about crossing at the POE and NOT to go in the "Trucks Only" part. We will be driving down a 14 foot Uhaul and I don't want to go to the wrong area. We will either be crossing at the Rainbow Bridge or the Peace Bridge. Nick gets nervous about these types of things so I just want to clarify that we go to the regular Port of Entry area that a regular car would, right? Thanks guys!!!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-12 16:37:00

I know this thread was about your last day of work, but for some reason I thought you were leaving this past Saturday, not this Saturday. Thought I was too late to post in this thread.

Canada	Laura: Good luck on your last day at work!!!	What a roller coaster of emotion. Good thing I had kleenex on me the entire day. I cried, laughed, and cried some more. I got more thoughtful gifts and so much support and love from people I've only known for 8 months. Unreal. I am excited to start this next chapter of my life but part of me will always miss them...they were such a great, amazing group of people to work with. Thanks to you guys too...You have made this journey so memorable and wonderful. I love you guys muchly. P.S. Yes Kathryn, my store Manager has contacted corporate and the store down in the States that I'm closest to and they are working something out for me. I have letters of recommendation from many of my managers...I think I'll be ok in finding work at a Lowe's.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-11 19:21:00
Canada	Laura: Good luck on your last day at work!!!	Jen!!!!!! How completely thoughtful of you! Thank you honey! Yesterday my Lowe's family gave me a huge book filled with pictures of everyone in the store, it was signed full of well wishes and lovely comments. I was moved to tears. It's bittersweet. I've never had a job like Lowe's...sure, it's retail but....they have treated me so well, I will miss them all very very much. My very dear friend and coworker Shelby is throwing a party for me on Sunday and many people are coming out....I still can't believe the love and friendships I have made over just an 8 month period, it's incredible. Today is going to be tough so I thank you so very much for thinking of me. ~Laura QUOTE (Mephys @ Jul 11 2008, 02:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ditto on that!

Canada	My drivers license	QUOTE (thetreble @ Jul 15 2008, 03:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (muffin @ Jul 15 2008, 01:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder if they would just give you a full license here in Canada if you had one in NJ? You might be able to avoid the test completely.... I don't know for sure though. Highly doubt it. Two different sets of driving laws. Here is my question though, if you are set on living in NJ there is really no reason for you to think about your G. You can always drive in Ontario with your NJ license, and in fact, have to if you are driving you car down that is registered in NJ. If you really feel like you need it, you are just going to have to make an appointment and a trip down to the dmv. Thanks Yeah, I do feel like I need it because we are planning on moving back and I don't want to have to start all the way at square one.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-15 15:42:00
Canada	My drivers license	Thanks so much for all the advice guys!!! What should I do about getting my G back home? If we ever decide to move back and I don't get my G within the 5 years, I have to start ALLLL over again.... Suggestions?	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-15 12:08:00
Canada	My drivers license	So yeah...hi I'm a little slow and recently just got my G2 this past January....I'm 27 I have to take the test for my G license within the next 5 years....can I just come back up and take the test up here even though I'm not living here anymore? How will they update it with my address if I'm not living here....granted..it will be my parents address that's already on my license now but still... Also...will they recognize in NJ that I don't have my full G license or will they not know the difference and just hand me over a license for down there?

Canada	What NOT to say to a USA border Agent!	I've never really had a problem with Pearson....just American Airlines! I've always had very nice officers at the airport. The only problem I had one time was because I have a very very common last name and I was put into secondary because of it...They thought I was on the no fly list... Luckily, after 5 minutes they realized I wasn't a terrorist or a fugitive and sent me on my way.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2008-07-05 10:29:00

So our local senator is going to have it put back in order because as of right now st.albans is just getting to the visas filed as of july 29 and we sent our aug 16 so it will be soon. She says not to bother resending but that she will make sure that it is processed as fast as possible. But thank you for the advise!!

Canada	Lost in the Mail	QUOTE (canadian+amer @ Oct 14 2007, 02:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So we sent in our K-3 on August 16 after my husband tried to deliver it straight to the St.Albans seeing he lives not far from it. They gave him a special address to send it to and gave him some advice as far as filling and now becuase of that special address our application is locked in some PO Box that they dont even check anymore we have been talking to the senators and everyone shy of George Bush himself. We have been waiting 2 months now and nothing has even happend>??? Why me? If anyone has any ideas for us please forward them my way...we have no re-submitted yet as far as the senators office told us they are going to get them to check it and at least send it back if not they will get it put in the order as where it should be. I'm so sorry I don't have any advice for you...I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you are going through this. I'm sure you'll get it figured out and hopefully someone will have some advice for you. BTW...Not to make light of the topic but when I first read your post I thought it said "Lost in the Mall" I was like "What!?!" I'm so blonde.
