Did you ask Chrysler Canada for the compliance letter? I remember someone having trouble a couple years back because they kept asking the American office instead of the Canadian one.

Soon, by March I think, you'll also need an ETA to enter Canada. Look into it as I'm not sure you'll get it.

Oh i know its not the norm. Im pretty sure you'd need linked accounts on both sides with TD or RBC to do it with any sort of ease. I opened the credit card with my SIN i think too, not the SSN.
Many people are more than happy to start fresh too and it's nice that option is there for them.
Having good credit is in no way going to get you a card either. I worked with a guy with a perfect credit score, 50000 0% visa in his wallet, but because he was retired and worked just not to be bored at a low wage, he was denied our store credit card. He made under what they required. They even denied me DEBIT card when I started because I had no credit history. I had to get my husband to open the card so we could save the % off.
But just to note, i haven't walked into a bank except to use an atm in almost 3 years.

Another option is to have an AMEX card, but you need to have it for at least 12 months before you transfer to an American (or another country) account with their Global Transfer program.
They transfer the whole credit history (ex. I have been an Amex customer in Canada since 1995 - I have 20 years of credit history showing on my American credit report now). I even kept both accounts (Canadian and American) for a while because I needed the card with a chip with travelling abroad and it was not yet offered in the USA. I had excellent credit in Canada and for me, it was important to find a way to transfer it.
Had bad experience in TD when I first moved - so I never set up the US account with them; could be better today though.
All in all, I prefer the American banks/credit unions, no fee, great interest rates (3.09% on my checking account!), so it feels like I am actually making money. Never really had to go to a physical location either, remote deposit works great.

Believe me, it was no better when smartphones and tablets were rare. Intellectual laziness and lack of research skills are nothing new...
Always going to be 75 messages per day on maiden/married names, what to put where, when to use, where to file.
Plus, the special snowflake requests - yes, it's been answered ad nauseam, but it's me so I expect a different or personalized answer.

Less than in the Philippines

I still own real estate in Canada; I also pay Canadian taxes, but this has more to do with my employer than the real estate.
Taxes regulations are even more complicated than immigration (!) You are in a situation where it might be totally worth it to consult with an international tax accountant to compare the cost of keeping the home and selling it later, selling it now at loss - or they might even have other scenarios that would make the the most sense for you.
You could also try to post on the Serbinski forums to get a better answers.

Suspicion is enough for drugs.

You can file an e-appeal online; it might help, or not: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/recourse-recours/menu-eng.html
Are you a Canadian citizen? If so, they might search you, but they have to let you in.
Otherwise, you might have become inadmissible:

You'll also need your proof of citizenship (birth certificate or citizenship certificate) plus at least another piece of ID in your new (married) name (look up the form, acceptable documents are listed under "docs to support your identity").
Your SIN is yours for life and cards are no longer issued, just a simple letter.

You have a lot of issues. Not many of them seem to have much to do with immigration, really.

Interesting, any reliable source for your numbers?

That's all well and fine, except it does not apply to the op's situation. The op isn't making excuses or looking for sympathy. She has owned up to their mistake and is simply asking how and when her husband may be able to apply for and receive a tourist visa. The constant brow beating of the op by you in this thread is uncalled for and against the board TOS. It should be dealt with by moderators.

I think the amount of ties people cut depends largely on a) if they plan on returning to Canada at some point, b) if they have investments including RRSP's in Canada, and c) how much effort they actually put into things like this.
I closed most of my bank accounts and my credit card. I kept a joint account open that has zero fees but I'm sure the bank will eventually close it. And I have one that allowed me to get EI and transfer the money to the USA easily with a similar account in the USA. This was also my way of starting my credit history in the USA because RBC will look at your Canadian credit so you can get a US credit card without having to start at the very bottom with a secured card with a very low limit.
I made sure to do my exit taxes. There is a box to check off to say when you stopped being a resident and also some extra schedules to fill out.
I didn't bother with my DL or AB health care, but because I was receiving CCTB and GST cheques I made sure to cancel those. The GST cheques I had to continue to cancel for quite some time. You'd think that manually sending them to a US address would have clued them in but didn't obviously. I still have my AB driver's license because I used it to drive until I was able to get a Colorado license. How long you can do this depends on each state. I think innately we obey the rules as immigrants better than most Americans do. I know several people who keep their registration and license in other states because it's cheaper even though legally they are a resident here and should have changed everything over, often years ago.

That pretty much sums it up. It depends a lot on your personal situation; could be very easy and non-consequential to quite complicated and with big fines involved (FBAR, etc.). If you have continuing income in Canada or from Canadian sources, visit often, keep a residence or anything like that, you might want to consult with a competent accountant to make sure you file your taxes properly the year you leave Canada, but also in the future. In some situations, you might have to file Canadian and American taxes every year.

Inspect your UHaul trailer or vehicle very carefully before signing for it. Ours was kaput and we only realized when it was fully packed :/
Move and border crossing were otherwise uneventful.
