whoa!!! what's going on?? haven't been getting any messages lately...have missed a lot from you guys!!!
first of all, CONGRATULATIONS TRACY!!!! I'm so happy for you! Finally, huh? Anyway, as for your questions (hope it's not too late to reply
)...
What about importing the car? What do we need to do ahead of time? We were thinking of crossing with a moving truck, and then coming back with the car a few weeks later? Advice anyone?
You'll need to call the following gov't agencies:
How to do it from RIV (Ca
Registar of Imported Vehicles)

***Note that you need to submit export docs at least 72 hours to US Customs (find out the port closest to where you plan to land) prior to exporting the vehicle.
Hope these help!
DHM2002: I hope all went well with your 2nd medical...had my 2nd done last October.
G: Hey man! I didn't even know there has been a lot going on in our thread...never got messages. I'm glad I decided to take a peek at it today!! I hope we get our PPRs soon...thinking you might even get it ahead of me!
It's November...hopefully good news soon!!! In-Canada applicants are lucky, in the sense that they don't need to prepare the list of goods!!! Isn't it, G? Linie? It is so time consuming...wish I could just leave everything behind!!!
