When people move to the states, whats the usual route people take with their creditcards? When I tell CIBC & RBC that I moved to the states, do they close the account right away and want the full balance ?

You can keep the accounts active and just change your address on them and they'll send your statements to that new address. You can then either send them payments in US $ on a US bank account, or you can keep a Canadian bank account open to make payments thru that. With the internet you don't really even need to have an exchange of paper, it can all be internet based and paperless.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

Reba answered your questions - I agree, I'm going to pay off my CC, but I will still have my student loans, so I plan to just keep my Canadian bank account open and just use online banking to pay my bills.

I dont have any bills in Canada, but still keep a Cdn bank acct open. And then transfer $$ back and forth FREE with customhouse.com No charges what so ever if you doing it electronically (EFT), and they give u a better exchange rate than 99.9% of banks!! I gave my parents a Cdn bank card, so if I do get a check, I just mail it to them, and they deposit it for me!!. I belive one can get their EI direct deposited to a CDn Acct as well

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
