I got the Driving Record Hi bhand11683, Thanks so much. I just came from DMV and paid $6 and got it quickly! However, it shows that 7 years back I had 1 speeding ticket. So now do you think that showing it to a Canadian Insurance company would result in savings since I have 1 speeding...

My Insurance company doesn't give out driving history My Insurance Company in NY doesn't give out driving history so how could I get something similar/equivalent before leaving to Canada?

2nd Confirmation I just called the immigration office to confirm and the answer was that you could re-enter by your own car after Dec 31, 2003 and be allowed into Canada WITHOUT trouble. However, if you want to travel by a commercial carrier you MUST apply for a "Limited USE Travel"...

Thanks so much Thanks for confirming that there are no problems when entering without PR card after Dec 31, 2003 (by one's own car with US plates). I will call the Consulate in Buffalo and double-check this. I will reply to you.
