Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone tried to move their house plants from Canada to the US?
I love couple of my plants so much and wondering how much of an headache it would be to move them with us.
I see online you have to get a certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency? Is that super complicated?

Planning on moving with UBox or U-Pack from Quebec to California.
Thank you for your help!

I looked into it before moving, but then decided to give my plants to family.  I get to see them when I visit.  My rubber plant went from 10 inches to 7+ feet under my mom's care.  

 

It didn't seem too complicated to get the certificates, but I simply didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it.  Also, they were not big/old plants, and the extra cost was hard to justify for some of them.  

 

Please come back to let us know how it went, should you decide to do it. 

 

Bon déménagement!

@Lemonslice Thank you! I'm still thinking about it... You are right with the amount of bandwidth. I will follow up if I decide to go ahead!

Also, not sure if that applies to you, but the SAAQ was able to produce my driving records in English.  I was also able to add my mom as a proxy there in case I needed another record from them (had to get my MA license after SSN, but with records less than 30 days old).  They'll also refund part of your license or (and?) registration once you are set up in your new state.  Most places it's not that much, but QC's include insurance so it's $$$.  

 

Bonne chance!

@Lemonslice Oh thank you! That's very helpful!! Did you get your car insurance records as well from Quebec to show your new US car insurance? I've been reading that I should try to do that...

No, no one asked... But my vehicle was added to my husband's policy.  Wasn't too hard, just had to get my SSN first.
