Documentation and Paperwork

image

There’s just over two months until I’m in Canada. We’re starting to think about what kinds of paperwork or documentation will be necessary once we arrive. The thing is other than immunization records for my kids and my daughters school records we can’t really think of anything. Wondering if anyone who has gone through the process could share their experience about documentation that they needed once returning to Canada from overseas.

Would rather get everything I need now, rather than get surprised once I’ve landed and then have to deal with it long distance.

update

Just remembered that one of my colleagues recommended that I get a record of car insurance to help with my rates when I return.

I recommend that you get your Ontario Drivers License first. You need photo ID (and two other pieces of ID) to get your health card (OHIP) and you can’t reuse ID. They will accept a library card as ID with a signature. Fortunately, Korea has a reciprocal agreement with Ontario for recognizing driver’s licences:

Perhaps getting a certified translation of your car insurance documents would be useful as well.
