Auld Yin - thanks for all the info. What is the process for becoming a landed immigrant? Is that the same as applying for permanent residence?

Lonestar - We don't own a vehicle, so that's one less pile of paper work!

Regarding moving our belongings, I'm trying to convince my wife to sell as much stuff as we can so we don't have do a complete inventory of the house. What a nightmare that would be!
