CanadaGoing to get Washington State Drivers License

Hey guys,

I have a question for those who might know about transferring a BC DL to a WA DL. I have a BC Class 7L driver license (Learners) and when I had called the WA DOL about transferring it over, they didn't even seem to know what the BC learners was. They just wanted to know if I had a valid BC Driver license. I went to one of their offices today here in WA and the woman that I spoke to insisted that it was not a license, but a learners permit. She also didn't even seem to realize that it is actually considered a driver license in BC, but with restrictions. Down here they don't get a learners license, they get a permit. So I was then told that I would have to take their knowledge test and driving test.

In the end, it is not really a big hassle for me to do that, but I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and was able to prove to the WA DOL that the BC Class 7L is indeed a drivers license.

Thank you for your time!

....in BC you have the big L on the car??? If so..I would consider that a Learners as you cannot drive without a licenced driver..and that is consistant with the learners permit in WA...graduating to the big happy N would be a regular licence but with restrictions..but still not a valid licence in the state of Wa...

CanadaGoing to get Washington State Drivers License

Okay! Went to attempt to get my Washington State Drivers License, gave them my SSN, showed my passport with my Visa in it, but didn't have any utility bill (my OOPS) to show proof that it my permanent address....so she processed the DL application (good for 90 days) and I have to go back with proof of my residence....guess I gotta put my name on the garbage bill.


Seriously??? DAMN!!!! Guess I had best go get something from the water company or something to show I live there...ack....what a pain in the a$$

CanadaGreen Card Qu...

My passport is in my maiden name as well. WAAAAAAAAAYYYY back when we started this, it was going to take 8 months for me to get a new passport with my married name, so we just went ahead and used the one with my maiden name.

Its no biggie really. I was just curious if I could ask them or not.


never hurts to ask.....but i do know that your Visa is issued in the name on your passport, and your GC is issued with the name on your Visa... but on the bright sie...you get a 10 year and you get to file for Citizenship long before me!!!
ZansGirlFemaleCanada2010-04-23 23:59:00
CanadaGreen Card Qu...
not gonna even ASK why your Visa is in your maiden name when you were granted a IR-1! (wht name is your passport in???) As far as I know..you may have to apply for a legal name change...bbbuuuttt...if you have your marrriage licence and all your other documents..they might issue your SSN in your marrie name...but I have a feeling your GC will be in your maiden name as it is the name on your Visa.... Have no idea if you can change that...??

No wonder NBC has such piss-poor ratings. They can't even manage the biggest international sporting event. <_<


My husband has a theory....He thinks the Olympics and Canada have an agreement that Canada can brodcast "in real-time" but imposses a 2-3 hour lag time for the States to rebroadcast???? It sounds feesable......??

I am not sure if this is a Vent or just the beginning of one, but I was not impressed that I couldn't watch the Opening Ceremonies until 9pm brodcasted on King5...

I was reading all about the Ceremonies on Facebook before they even started!! Man I hope I get to watch some of the events that I usually would....and I hope that I can stream CTV on my laptop or I am gonna miss all kinds of great Canadian moments!!!

This is going to sound like such a stupid vent but I had the worst sleep ever last night. The humpbacks are migrating right now in front of the house, and all night they were flapping their tails and fins. It sounded like a fat-man doing belly flops off the high-dive echoing through the house. I have an interview today and am going to have big bags under my eyes.

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"
Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."
Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"
<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>
Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"
Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"
Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

Me: "Yes, yes I do."

Yea...he is fine....thankfully he had a friend he called and spent the night there.....I called in a favour and arranged a ride home for him today...

It just really pisses me off because this isn't a one time thing. My son is in his late teens, and has desperatly been trying to have a relationship with his father. My ex is selfish and frankly..I considered myself to be a single parent for most of their childhood. My ex continuously tells my son "yes..we will do this" and then either bails at the last minute..or pulls a no show...and my son FORGIVES him every time and goes back for more. IMO..it has got worse since the ex moved in with the gf (whom he was having an affair with from 2004 to 2006 when I found out) . She really wants nothing to do with either child and gets quit indignant when they try to have some of his time. She even told my ex inlaws( remember..we were married for 20 years and dated 2.5 before we wed) that they are to have zero contact with me..and my ex goes along!!

And frankly..since she got pregnant ( she is 30..ex is 47 and it was IVF) she has become unbearable!! My daughter is due three months after and the GF had the nerve to call my daughter and ###### a blue streak that she got pregnant 'on purpose to steal her attention" and swore that the EX would NOT visit the grandchild until she saw fit.....

I understand that this is NOT MY BATTLE and I stay out as much as possible..mostly for my own sake..but it rips my heart out when I hear this stuff.....My future son-in-law pretty much despises the ex and hates the GF even more . In some way I am glad I ammoving out of the country..so I don't have to deal with it.....but I swear..I totally beleive in Karma and I wait for the day it hits them. And in some small way, I even feel bad for their unborn child..because me and my two kids have already lived through what it is about to face.......

anyway....Thanks for letting me vent....

So I told my mom today that I'm pregnant (first pregnancy), that I'm due in Aug 21st. Her response?--Indifference. She said, "Yeah yeah. I don't care what you do with your life."

"Well...I'm done." Then I went upstairs and :crying: .

I started Weight Watchers on line end of November wheh my daughter told me i was going to be a grammie (I am 44) Since then, I have lost 24 lbs and I can really feel a difference!! Baby is due July...so I have a goal!!

I am home with my husband finally (POE was Feb 11) and looking forward to getting into a good fitness routine. My husbad likes to walk, but dislikes walking with me. (he says I walk way too fast!! ...he is 6'4 and I am 5'2..and apparently my short little legs go way too fast!!!) So we have decided to join the Y or a gym so we can have our 3x a week walk on a treadmill...that way we can each go our own pace!

I got a bit ambitious yesterday and took Briar, my 7 month old Border Collie for a walk....decided that heading to Starbucks would be a good destination...didn't realize that the round trip was 6.7 miles!!! HOLY COW!1 my hips and feet ached when I got home!! (But I am thinking of doing it again today!! LMAO!!)

Anyway...maybe we should start a Weight loss support thread??????
