Unless you are shipping household goods on a menaje de casa, you can apply for your FM3s in Chapala or Guadalajara after you arrive. If you do them abroad, you will have to enter Mexico within that time frame you mentioned and then, you will still have to go through the process of registering them within 30 days of arrival. Since you own a home in Mexico, you will be able to provide proof of residence. You will also need proof of income from abroad in the form of bank statements. Have a joint account in order to avoid dependency and inheritance issues.
If you have last minutes questions, drop me a PM when you get here.

We are most appreciative and relieved of the offer of your contractors name. Amazing that a forum like this exists for folks to share issues and information, it seemed an impossibility from Canada. Would also need to know how to contact contractor - imagine it will have to be in person when we arrive. Regards.
