sorry for the later reply.
l landed at Mar 17, almost have two more monthes before the visa expire.
i landed at vancouver. the officer is very nice to us. just asked the regular questions on the landing paper.did not ask any other questions. and also the custome office lady is very nice to me, she pronounce my last name very good. ask me do i need import my car,she start prepare doc for me after i insist to import it. it sounds she give me a choice to go back to america.
i do not think you need rent the U-haul. just leave some living stuffs in your car. looks like you are really to live there long time.
he did not ask anything regarding the jobs. for the maple card, he did it for us after he got our address in canada. he asked do i have friends in canada, i told him i have lot of, but he did not ask the detail.
post your questions again if you still have.
thanks.
