My company builds car dealerships so maybe we built the one he works for smile.gif

I thought I liked it before I moved here, but visiting and living here are really two different things which I'm sure more people can ateste to then just me. You will be find with the driving but you are going to have to pick and choose when you go certain places and where you go for certain things. I have to pick where I go to the grocery store for MANY reasons..I cannot go to walmart after 11am on a sunday or I will wait in line for an hour to check out. It can be a nice place to live unfortunately, once you start dealing with the every day people I think you may get frustrated. I know its definetely a lot different from what my day to day was like in Canada. I just find people to be very rude and will do anything to make your life harder haha That is just my opinion though. You may have a totally different reaction!

Having friends also helps a lot though!!! That will make your situation so much easier. I miss my friends from home so much but I sort of have to push that out of my mind and just try and stay in touch.

The heathcare sucks. But, if your husband has insurance and you can go under his insurance, you will be fine. It takes awhile to get used to having insurance and STILL having to pay some sort of money (ie. co pay) but you will be fine.

My husband manages the kitchen and restaurant staff at an Applebees so we do pretty alright.


Well yeah...I've noticed some places are insanely busy....oh well.

If people are rude to me, I'll just kill them with kindness. smile.gif LOL

I'm sorry you miss your friends so much. I don't have many friends here so I'm very much looking forward to being down there. That's awesome that you are doing so well!!!

Nick works for an Audi dealership.
He's the Assistant Parts Manager...makes a fantastic salary plus commission.

I am very very excited to come there. Yes, I'm a tad crazy!!! LOL
Nick has many friends who have welcomed me with open arms over the past 2 years so I am literally going down to like 30 people.
His family is wonderful. I do like the area. The only thing I'm nervous about is the health care and the driving.

I really do like it there so....I'm sure I'll be fine.

How do you like it? What does your hubby do?

Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to see a huge dip in Bergen. Bergen is the most expensive county to live in in NJ because the richest people live there! haha I know of a few people who pay up to $25,000+ a year in property taxes. So I wish you guys the best of luck if you think about living there for awhile. A two bedroom for 1200 isn't bad. We paid 1000 for a 1 bedroom but we despise the feeling of throwing that much money away per month for something we can never own. It was a nice way to start off our living together though.

You can find work easy in NJ which is what I like about working here. I just want to find something I love though.


I hear you. Renting was our last resort, we hate the thought but we hate the thought of not being together for a longer period of time while we look even more for a house. Nick has a good job and doesn't want to have to commute so renting was the best option for us now...we won't do it for long, year at maximum.

smile.gif

Hope you find something great!!!

Bergen county = $$$$$$$$. Does your soon to be hubby own a house there? If he does, his taxes are through the roof!!


We just got an apartment in Maywood.
We were approved for a 230,000 dollar mortgage but still, that wasn't enough to buy anything but a dump fixer upper!
LOL
He makes pretty good money though so in a year or so (when I'm working as well) We'll look into getting a house.

We got a great 2 bedroom apartment about 2 blocks from his parents. It's a lovely neighborhood, hard wood floors, dining room, living room for 1200 a month. Heat, hot water and utilities included.

Not bad. We'll be able to save up quite a bit and especially when I start working we are just going to live off his salary and put all of mine in the bank.

smile.gif I have a job lined up so I'm not too worried about getting work.

I was shocked at the prices in Bergen though, incredible. I'm hoping they go down even more with all the foreclosures happening.

I'm moving to NJ in July, so I'll report back. When are you guys moving? From what I've read, it sounds like you have to do a written and a visual test. I guess there's potential for an actual driving test, but it doesn't sound like you have to do one. I guess we'll see!

I'm not looking forward to going to the DMV ... it sounds like a bit of a nightmare. And I've been spoiled by the easy licence and tag renewal processes here in Toronto. We're very high tech compared to DMV in NJ from what I've heard. Oh well, it is what it is!


I'm moving to NJ in July too...
Gonna be an adventure that's for sure!!!

lol thanks hon
I just called DoS. Montreal hasn't even opened up my package 3 and put it into their system yet. I sent it a week ago.
They are always so slow.

Hi,
I'm new here but just wanted to add this...
Just had my medical this morning at Dr. Seiden's in Toronto and I brought my appt letter. They ask for it- even on their website- but someone did not have hers and they still proceeded to do the medical. I think they'd prefer it. Of course don't forget the passport, photos, cash $185 and updated immunizations. My advice is get there early(I was there at 7am and the second one in line). They took me in around 7:20am and I got out by 8:30am.


When is your interview for??
Can you please fill in your time line? smile.gif

Just thought i'd share!

Hi Laura, I have sort-of the same timeline as you, I am getting ready to send in packet 3 and make my appt with Dr. Seiden in Toronto... Is it true you need to bring your appointment letter (AKA Packet 4?) to the medical along with your vaccination records and photographs? I'm not sure if I should book my medical yet...


yes it is true...
I booked mine for May 21st and she told me I need my interview letter...
Hopefully I have mine by then!!! blink.gif
I guess I could cancel if I don't have it before then....eeek!

come and join me in crazyness !
I already start stalking people in the grey zone to update their list just to see change on liz spreadsheet sooo much that i was desesperate.
(got some awkward msg with natasha and peter because i added them as friend with no reason (well no reason out from the fact i thought they were still waiting around the same date as me) but well they didn't update their timeline... how could i have know).

I am also obsessively looking at jon and marry profil everyday to see if they wouldn't had post something somewhere about a news about interview date.


NUTS NUTS NUTS.....
So since, i try to focus my attention a little bit less on VJ and a little bit more on non immigration related forums.
I am sending flirty email through the website where i met my futur hubby (www.plentyoffish.com) (how sexy does that sound) prentending i just saw his profil.... pathetic really but i just totally miss him and i think i jumped in total insanity....

Oh I know hon..it's not about feeling lost or "omg..this is taking forever!"
I just want to know approximately when...I'm mostly worried about clearing my 27th birthday and the medical that I booked for the 21st so I don't have to get the Gardasil vaccine.
Nick and I aren't in a huge hurry....I won't even be moving down right away after I get the visa. smile.gif

How come no one has gotten an interview at Montreal recently? unsure.gif

JonandMary are still waiting for theirs and they sent their package in February 27th!!
What's the word?? dry.gif

Did they go on vacation or something? I keep looking at Liz's spreadsheet every few hours! It's worse than the USCIS website!!! crying.gif

I just wish I could see someone get an interview so I know where they are at!!! Early May interviews? Late May interviews? Are they in June already??? Grr!!! mad.gif

Our good friend Liz has made a list of all the people having interviews at Montreal
Click Here
Looks like recently it's taking just under 2 months to get an interview date.
You could delay in sending back in package 3 until almost May if you wanted to make sure you don't get an interview date until late June like you want.
Best of luck! smile.gif

CanadaDS-230 & DS-156 back to Montreal
You can wait a week and mail it all back in together...or, check everything off the list and mail it all back now...
I don't even have my affidavit of support papers from Nick yet and I checked it off that I had them and mailed it back.
Not a big deal if you delay in sending it back a week....less postage too than sending things to Montreal twice.
