  2. Hi everyone :)

    Is there a list somewhere of who we need to notify of a change of address when moving out of Canada (Québec too for me)

    I want to make sure all my correspondance gets sent to me in the USA instead of here in Canada!

    Thanks :)

  3. Maybe not quite the "celebrities" you were thinking of, but professional hockey routinely deals with some real headaches :)

    The majority of NHL players are Canadian-born. There are also Americans, various European nationalities and a pretty big Russian contingent (and ONE Australian! Our first one!) but 23 of the teams are located in the US and 7 in Canada (and all of the teams play each other all the time, it's not like the Canadian teams only play Canadian teams). Now, they all pretty much get O visas as far as I can tell (which lets them bring their families---maybe not girlfriends, which is maybe why hockey players get married so young, now that I think about it, but families). But everyone (except the Canadians) needs Canadian visas to travel to to be able to play in Canada as well. This can get really tricky with the timing and every now and again someone falls through the cracks and gets stuck on a tarmac in Calgary or somesuch (one of our guys was actually stuck in Sochi returning from the Olympics--visa issues-- and we had to play a game or two without him). Personally, I just don't envy their tax accountants. Can you imagine?!

    And funny-not-funny story: My own pride and joy of a team, the Washington Capitals, had a sad sad fate befall them in 2010. It was quarterfinals playoffs with Montreal (best out of 7... 2 home, 2 away, 1 home, 1 away, 1 home). They were coming back from Montreal having gone up 3-1 in the series. Got diverted from Dulles to National for fog. But National isn't an international airport---no customs---so then got diverted to BWI where, at that time of night (1am) there were no CPB folks, as the last scheduled flight had already been processed. They had to wait on the tarmac for 3 hours while they got CBP staff in. Then, all the guys' cars were at Dulles (a good 70 miles away). So that was a huge mess. A lot of guys didn't get home until 5am---and had to play the next day.

    While it's surely not *just* a visa thing (this team is well known to implode), after that night they became the first No.1 seed to give up a 3-1 lead to an 8-seed in NHL history. Pitiful, really.

    Your post made me smile a little bit, I remember that playoff year, and as a Habs fan, you just made me hate immigration a little bit less!

  4. Hi Visa Journey Family!

    I had a couple questions regarding moving my personal belongings to the USA. Firstly, has anyone brought their belongings with them (as in renting a van with my dad, filling it with all my stuff and then just driving to the USA, this would be my POE)

    Secondly, I read that your personal belongings must be in your possession for at least 1 year in order for them to be exempt of tax... Here's the thing: I received a lot of household gifts for Christmas this year, some of them of great value (Kitchen Aid stand mixer, sewing machine, etc.), and I know my family will be throwing me a "going away" shower the weekend before I move. What happens with those items that have been in my possession for less than a year? Will CBP really ask me when I received everything I am bringing with me? What's the legal way of doing this? I want to make sure that I have absolutely NO ISSUES with this either during my POE or at any other point in our lives.

    What are your experiences?

  5. I guess I must have expressed myself badly, what I meant to say is even though I have nothing to hide, and even though our relationship is genuine, I’ll still be really nervous about being asked about our relationship and being scrutinized about it, even though we have tons of proof of relationship, and that we are completely in love with one another… I guess this is me being overly nervous!

  6. Yep, that would be cool, especially since we're not allowed any electronics, so listening to music will not be an option! That usually calms me down... I know I'll be SO nervous, even though I know I have nothing to worry about, because it's genuine relationship... It's crazy how we're being scrutinized and judged on our relationship... I mean, I understand why they do it, but still, it seems ridiculous when the relationship is genuine.

  7. Received my packet 4 this morning, went on the website for the Montreal consulate fully expecting a "no interviews available" message, but I was able to book my interview for March 17th!!!!!!!!! Medical is booked for March 2nd. When I last saw Rick we didn't even have our NOA2 yet, now we'll have plenty of things to celebrate on Valentine's day!!! I can't believe this is actually happening!!!!!!
