RE: Question about moving

So are you able to go there now, or do you still have to wait for paychecks? Because if you have to wait, go to a local one now... no sense in waiting around for him to kill you or maim you before you can leave for Canada.

Trust me.... I've been with abusive guys, I know how it works.

19 hrs is not too bad. Sounds like you got things organized efficiently. In the meantime.......a low profile might be in order.

Let us know as soon as you can when you have" crossed over."

Gather you are bringing your computer with you....... but there are plenty of internet cafes to log on from..

Definately bringing the puter! I got way too much info on it to leave it with Mister Nosey! Can you see me now crossing over with a desktop, saying,, oh, uh... I'm on vacation?

RE: Question about moving

Warm clothing! And your ID, birth certificate, etc. (But you already know all that.)

Other than that, basically the same stuff you'd take anywhere. :)

I hope Mr. Nosey can't read anything on your computer right now. He could get really pissed off if he saw this thread, for example, and that could get ugly.

That's the whole reason I suggested using a local shelter until you leave for Toronto. Be safe!

RE: Question about moving

Welcome Gatoraco! If you're moving there now, I'd suggest some long underwear and a toque! It's damn cold. You can send all your Florida type Hawaiian shirts to me since I live on Vancouver Island and it's still warm here. ;)

Can't imagine giving up the sunshine for the frozen north, but good luck on the move!

Oh, one question I had that I cant find is, when I say that I am just on vacation to the border people, how long am I allowed to stay (legally) when on "vacation"?

Six months.

Basically, if you want to avoid hassles, just tell them that you're going to be visiting for a week or two. Anything else can be handled by the people at the shelter who've said they will help you with the paperwork.
