  1. Congrats! I'm also a direct applicant in GA but I haven't heard anything yet. Edit: Just checked my mail and it was there. Not forwarded! Better get started on next year's application.
  2. Cool, thanks for the response. Yeah I get that outsider stance as well, especially in the south east. I've visited California a couple of times, I'd love to get a chance to live there one day. Unfortunately there's not many programs in my field at California institutions right now.
  3. What do you guys think is the next Mad Men/Breaking Bad type of show? Those have been my favs over the last couple of years and especially enjoyed reading up on fan theories and analyzing shots, costumes, sets, subtle references and such leading up to the finales. Any other shows like that I should hop on to? I follow Game of Thrones too but I want something to start from the beginning on and binge!
  4. Thanks I appreciate it. It's hard to find too many other Canadian students in GA. I've been here for almost a year now and every process I do it seems like I'm the first Canadian to ever do it! Side note, how are you enjoying California? Do you see yourself starting a career in the US or is your ultimate goal to end up back home?
  5. So, I'm a bit stuck when it comes to registering my car. I'm from Ontario and am in Georgia for grad school. According to Georgia law I have to get a Georgia drivers licence and insurance but don't need to register my car in the state and get plates. However, my Ontario plate sticker is going to expire in a couple of months. I can't renew my plates in Ontario without Canadian insurance (which I cancelled when I moved to GA). I looked into registering my car and getting Georgia plates (I'll be here for 3-4 more years) but they charge a tax relative to the value of your car when you register for the first time. They estimated mine would be just under $1000. I really can't afford to spend that just to register my car here. Has anyone had a similar situation?
  6. Thanks again for the info. Definitely wasn't planning on lying, just brought it up because it seemed like the system was too easy. Also for anyone else reading along, for higher value items (musical instruments, higher end electronics), you can fill out something called a Y38 form "DOCUMENTATION OF GOODS FOR TEMPORARY EXPORTATION". Basically right before you cross the boarder, go into the Canada customs office and you can fill this out for those items. You can put a serial number for the item and they sign off on it. More info can be found here: http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d2/d2-6-5-eng.pdf
  7. Wow thanks so much for that thoughtful and detailed response! For that itemized list, did you show it to them before you moved out of Canada for them to approve and confirm you brought them from home on their end? Because you can easily just make up a list of items (including new stuff bought in the USA) and just add it to your list? Just a little confused on that part.
  8. Hey, I'm a Canadian grad student in the USA who just started this fall. I only brought the bare necessities for the first few months (I drove there), but now I'm home for the holidays and want to bring some more things down there. I'm there for another 2 years but was worried about customs and declaring items when I come back. I want to bring down my movie collection and some guitars and other items but am worried about them thinking I bought them all there and then tax me on it when I come back to Canada. I know there are forms I can find to fill out and claim some larger items like a guitar, but it would be a pain to itemize and claim every single blu ray or book I bring down. Has anyone had any experience with this? Also, if we're there on a student visa do we have more than the usual $800 tax exemption we get for being in the USA for a few days?
  9. Hey all, I'm moving across the province to Ottawa in September. Does anyone have advice on the best time of year to be looking for a place? I've started looking but haven't seen a whole lot of Sept. 1st start dates. Also, any Ottawa specific tools I should be using other than the usual padmapper and Kijiji?
  10. Kate Hudson was in Almost Famous with Frances McDormand Frances McDormand was in Something's Gotta Give with Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves was in The Matrix with Laurence Fishburne Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Jennifer Aniston
  11. I've applied to an MA in Kin at Ottawa, Western, and Windsor. Anyone else waiting on those programs? The application deadline for them was just at the beggining of Feb so I'm not expecting to hear back for another month or two - the waiting is killing me!
  12. Hey you can find the U of Ottawa conversion scale here in section 10.1: http://www.uottawa.ca/about/policies-and-regulations/academic-regulations
