I have to disagree.  I hired Brad Grieve a dozen years ago to inspect my new home and got a "cookie cutter" inspection report that seemed unrelated to the specifics of the house.  The conclusion was the house was of "average" construction with no problems noted.  The house is falling in around me today only a little over decade later.  Don't waste your money.

And you expect that an inspection carries a lifetime warranty? As an afterthought. A home inspection after  a home is built can only report on what can be seen. The proper thing would have been Brad supervise the construction. But that is expensive but wise. You can only blame the builder and your own inexperience with Mexico

You should take some time and figure out how the system really works rather than listen to a couple of cheats.

This whole discussion is just plain stupid; why did you even bother to start this thread; you knew the responses you would get.

Cedros did not start this thread. Also be careful who you decide to call a cheat. His original accountant seems to have given him the correct advice.

You get both simultaneously with this method. We just use it as 2 systems because the surround sound system has a separate on/off switch but the headphones are on all the time.

Have you considered a 1/8 mic splitter? That should solve both your problems. We have done that so if I want to listen I can use headphones and if my wife or both of us want to listen we use our surround sound system without having to get up and change plugs. Most, if not all TV's, smart of not, cut off sound to other sources when you plug into the external sound mic outlet. If you can't find it locally try amazon mx or mercado libre, or??? Gabriel at Computerland in Riberas. If he does not have one he can no doubt get you one.

The total number of cases means nothing without either the number of recovered or active cases. It is merely a number. It does not mean that that number of people is walking among us spreading the disease.

If you wish to buy a new car, you have two options. One is to drive back to Canada and make the purchase there, before taking the new car to Mexico on a new Importada Temporal.  The other option would be to take a bus to your Mexican destination, and then buy a new car in Mexico (which you will not be allowed to drive in Canada.

As usual RV you are wrong. The subject of cancelling a TIP, other than at the border, has been covered before, it can be done by mail. A good lawyer or your local Mexican Consulate can help.

RV, a registered non resident of Canada can drive a Mexican plated car in Canada for up to 6 months, just as any other tourist can. I am tired of seeing your comments on Canadian law.

Just an FYI..... beer is never 12% alcohol.  Generally runs between 4-7%.  If beer can't be sold then NOTHING can be sold as everything else is nor alcohol content.

You have obviously never heard of Barleywine. You should read this article.

You are quite right. Different provinces have different rules for driving a Mexican plated vehicle into Canada. Maybe one day Nafta will sort it all out.  I have a Mexican plated vehicle that I can drive across the US to the Canadian border and in British Columbia I have a BC plated vehicle that I can drive in the US only as far south as the Mexican border.   

Whether you enter Canada in Nova Scotia or BC and in  between you are entering under Canadian Federal Rules, rules that a Province cannot change. Provincial law deals mostly with moving from Province to Province.

Whether you are a Canadian Citizen or Canadian Landed Immigrant does not matter. It is your Tax Residency that matters.

For the non resident, Insurance is available. Mexican Insurance usually only covers you for about a month and I would not like to try to make a claim on a Mexican carrier.

Before spouting off about what can and cannot be done refer to Mr Google. You will be surprised what he knows.

US residents temporarily in Canada may operate their US registered vehicle while they are in Canada without issue for up to 12 months provided they have adequate third party liability coverage.

Something similar probably exists for Mexican Vehicles taking into account the new NAFTA. I know that Mexican vehicles can be driven in the USA for up to 12 months.

The rules regarding a Canadian driving a foreign plated car in Canada are based on residency not citizenship. So TelZ4, are you a resident of Canada or a non-resident?

Does that get you toilet paper, paper towel or both?

"Black" can be paramount in inkjet printers and no one has answered "Sunshiney Day". Also Rueben does not service printers as of when I asked him 3 months ago.

Does anyone know the circumstances?

I have heard of none. Assume you are referring to the cuota 15D... I haven't heard of any road blockage by the Yaqui up around Obregon for quite a while.

2 weeks ago drove Guadalajara to El Paso with no sign of any problems either. IMO if/when there is a "problem" it comes and goes "in a day" and is rarely a reason to alter route plans. IMO

Thanks RickS, I think I will go via Nogales

Have there been any safety problems on 15 to Nogales recently? Just deciding which route to take.

Cedros, you asked the wrong people. You should have asked Customs and Immigration. They control what a non-resident can drive not the Provincial police.

Francisco took us to the airport in late Sept. He drives people to Texas a couple times a month. I would call that active. 

Francisco seems to take only the jobs he wants, We have used Luis for several years and never had a problem. A couple of months ago I emailed Luis from Flagstaff on a Sunday and asked for a pickup next day late evening and he was there as always. The email in the above post is his.

If you are looking for transportation call Luis at 331 307 8289. Francisco has not been active for some time.

Walk across the bridge.  Just follow the crowd.  You will go down and then back up.  Get cab after you have crossed.  Otherwise fees ridiculous.

All international crossings by taxi are more expensive .  The driver must be free of crime convictions (police report-cost).  You need an I94(cost)  He/she cannot pick up fares in the other country unless ordered from taxi dispatch. Has to return with no fare. The fares take all these costs into account plus border crossing fees.

ATM limits are usually set by your home bank although the local bank may have limits per withdrawal. Just withdraw until the machine says "enough".

There is a fabric store, upholstery, two doors west of Poncho's new location in Riberas.  Their selection is stellar, on a par with the US.  The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Their work  is considered exceptional.  I'll let you know more when I get  my sofa and chair back.  Go and check out this store.

Pancho not poncho

Apps are available for cell phones. Saw one last week  and it worked well

Yes, but in your "due diligence" you decided to establish non-residency in Canada and are therefore unable to deduct medical and drug costs from your tax returns. That is a lot of money left on the table.

Canadian non-residents CAN deduct medical expenses. I do it all the time. (Tax Preparer 30 years)
