I used Uhaul from NS to DC (side trip to RI) Ensure you check over the Uhaul very well--I had a newer truck, but the 1 complaint about Uhaul is they do not maintain their trucks that well, so look over the fluid levels and to help out that gas MPG--the tire pressure

Good tips! That is one thing I'm wary of is their maintenance. The UHaul dealer has good reviews but for sure I will tell my fiance to check it all over before he leaves the lot, if there's any problems immediately we'll be headed back that way anyway on our trip. NS to DC is a long haul for sure!

not really, 3 days, 2 nights!!! Wasn't bad at all

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I looked into a U-Haul too. Extremely expensive and some of the moving rates were very comparable so I decided to let the professionals handle my big stuff, and all I have to deal with is my visa and importing my van at the border.

Not sure how much stuff you have but I am going to be using Relocation Services Canada. They have all the proper paperwork for customs and they do it all the time. I bought extra insurance just in case they lose any of my stuff.

Here is the link:

Good luck to you! :)

Thank you for your help. I just received a quote from them :)
