    I dont really want to mention i'm staying with my Girlfriend... because on the BUNAC 'work Canada' student visa I'm applying for next year, it says you can't have one if your coming to Canada to visit a Girlfriend/fiancée etc.
    I know they probably wont record what I say, but I'd rather not risk it!

    So we'll just keep that bit quiet.... :P

    And i so want to go skating on the canal! The whole fact my girlfriend lives pretty much on the canal, and she can skate into town or to work! MAKES ME SOOO HAPPY!

    When you fly into Canada (I do it all the time from the states) they ask you not necessarily in this order but they ask them.

    1. What's your reason for coming to Canada?
    2. Do you have a return ticket?
    3. Where will you be staying?
    4. The address of the person you will be staying with (it's best to write it down on a piece of paper)
    if you tell them you're staying with your girlfriend and/or visiting your girlfriend they will then ask
    1. Is she Canadian?
    2. if not does she have proper documentation to be in country legally?

    On international flights, they give you a card about an hour before landing asking you to fill out details of your stay in your destination. It'll ask where you're mainly staying (so, your SO's address in Ottowa), a contact number in case of emergencies (her cell phone, or a land line), how long you plan to stay, as well as your basic info (name, DOB, passport #, etc). If they ask at passport control, just tell them plain and simple that you're visiting your girlfriend. Though honestly, the only place I was asked at passport control was when I flew to the UK! Driving into Canada, they've asked me questions, but a short simple answer is usually enough for them to stamp your passport and say "Welcome to Canada."

    hahaha! That could actually be really useful!

    I'm from the UK and my SO is from Ottawa but studies in Halifax... I'm going over to see her at Christmas in Ottawa, then we're flying to Halifax together then I'm flying back to the UK from there a 1 1/2 weeks after that. 3 week visit in total... Actually cant wait!
    Anyway...question time!

    1) I'm flying into Montreal then getting somehow from Montreal to Ottawa (yet to decide!) Last time I took the ViaRail train but that was bloody expensive and a serious pain in the arse, so this time I'm thinking of getting the greyhound. Anyone ever got the Greyhound from Montreal airport (Trudeau) to Ottawa before, how long does it take and where does it pickup?

    2) Is there anything different I (as a British Citizen) would have to do when flying internally? Never done that before! Any idea if I still have to fiddle around with passport control and explaining why I'm flying across Canada in the new year for just a week?
