Have a safe POE tomorrow Ken and Kate.. I'm going to be leaving Thursday.. Extremely excited!!!

I will be calling for sure the CRA to inform them of the move and to stop my G.S.T/H.S.T checks..

other then that I think i'm going to wait on informing everyone else, not sure how long we will be living at this address in the U.S.. so i'll just have it sent to this address here in Canada for now..

Me and Manda were searching for numbers of who we needed to call..

Is this the correct number to call for G.S.T/H.S.T for the CRA :1-800-959-1953 ???

The normal Individual income tax inquiries number is 1-800-959-8281 ???

Which one did ya'll call???

and for OHIP heath care, is this the right number to contact?

1-866-295-8224

If anyone has any ideas...Please let us know on who you contacted and what numbers you called..:D

Usually takes a week or two, but for some people it's taking a little longer depending where there service area will be for biometrics. Some of the service centers are overly booked so they might jus

Hey guys I've always done these changes of address online (as I hate having to make 50 calls to change addresses everywhere)

So for government stuff (CRA) if you get an EPASS you can change all your info online. Although I've only used this so far for moves within Canada so I may end up having to call them this time. I'm aiming at calling them this week exactly to stop any GST/HST credits!

Here are the options on the CRA website:

Last time I changed OHIP I went to the local office. But you can also do it at Service Ontario website.

Hope this helps:)

Got married last week, waiting for marriage cert to apply for AOS. Went down to the SSA today to apply for her SSN (2 weeks after POE). Still wasn't in their system (grr!!) and they sent it for manual verification. We POE'd at the ambassador bridge. If anyone goes through there, might want to give it more than 2 weeks to apply.

I'll be POEing at the ambassador bridge and I believe J&J is too, so thank you for that tip. I'll wait a little longer then the two weeks to try

Life is like a roller coaster. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

I guess it must depend on the State, because I got my SSN maybe a little short of two weeks, and she did not seem to have any problem 'finding' me... Well, now I hope she did it right! :wacko:
