Thanks for the tip, but I can't believe it's really that bad. No good bars?
No good cafes? No market halls?

Sorry, we don'thave to any to choose from. The old "babuskas"are dead and

Go to Safeway and buy some bologna with macaroni, TV dinner or some Kraft
dinner. Be happy with what you've got.

The subject line says it all. Any suggestions for a stop along the way

My wife and I brought our car, and then found it was superfluous.
Everything we wanted to see was on a bus line.

Definitely no car required in Victoria -just walk around. BTW a previous
respondent referred to "bouchard gardens"- there is no such place - its
called Butchart gardens. Didnt want you wasting time trying to figure out
what he meant- and yes you need a bus to get there. If you want to see any
portion of the island you would need a car but I think I recall from a
previous post you are only going for short time so just walk , relax enjoy.
You see more walking then driving anyway.

The "town" of Vancouver has a city population of over 500,000, with over
1,500,000 people within an hours drive in the Frazer valley. You will dock
in the center of the "town", well within walking distance from Stanley
Park, Gastown and skid row, take your pick.
You can take a bus from downtown Vancouver to downtown Victoria and will not
have to wait if like you can if you drive. Depends on the day and the time.

Quote: After coming back from our Alaska cruise, I am still contemplating which
tour to do first; Vancouver tour or Victoria tour ?
Is Vancouver port (where Alaska cruise lines dock) far away from the town
and in the same time is it nearby the BC Ferries (or any other Victoria
ferries?)

Excellent, thanks! With the good weather we are looking forward to adding
more walks soon. I was in Okanagon wine country recently and so we have a
Kelowna waterfront walk ready to post soon. I thought the Kelowna waterfront
was quite stunning.

You need to narrow down your choices. Yellowknife is just another city
(albeit a cold and remote one), while many of the communities are very
unique. Finding a job depends on your skills - you'll find several NWT
job-hunting information sites linked from
http://www.explorenorth.com/library/canadafarnorth/bl-jobs2.htm but bear in
mind that employers are often reluctant to hire newly-arrived people because
they often leave quickly. This is an area of extremes, and that includes
people's attitudes towards the country - you either love it or hate it
(while many Northerners came on holidays and never left, most people hate
it). You'll find an enormous amount of information and photos on my site.

That's awful...I'm trying to prove my relationship to my father (who
is deceased) and the Ontario gov't wants to see my birth certificate
with his signature in order to release WWII naval records I wanted to
see, yet it requires this Canadian guarantor
I don't know what to do to satisfy this silly requirement

I'm going to assume that the original poster was born in Ontario,
since I do know that Ontario has adopted a requirement for guar-
antors on birth certificate applications, and I'm not currently
aware of any other province that has done this same thing yet.
Unfortunately, AFAIK, Ontario law does =NOT= provide for a
"statutory declaration in lieu of guarantor" in order to apply
for a birth certificate.
I agree that it ought to, but apparently the Ontario government
forgot to (or, out of shortsighted stupidity, intentionally
chose not to) include such a provision in the legislation and
regulations.
(I'd love to hear from an authoritative source that I'm wrong,
BTW.)

Where were you born?
Why don't you order a copy of your long form birth registration?
That would include the name of your mother, and father, etc.

The form is here, http://www.cbs.gov.on.ca/pdf/org/11076_e.pdf, but
perhaps you've already seen it. Are there any Canadians about where you
are who fits the criteria of a guarantor? Conversely, might you have a
sufficiently distant relative (e.g. brother- or sister-in-law) in Canada
who fits the bill?

Well that's what I *am* doing (long form BC request) but it requires a
Canadian Guarantor...

If you read the form carefully you would see a sentance that says
something like "if you are unable to find a guarantor please call our
office for further instructions". I suggest you do this as there is an
alternative process for people in your position, you have to get
multiple letters from Canadians you know (like your Aunt) and get
them notarized and so on, it's more work than finding a guarantor
but for people like you not living in Canada it's often the only way. |
