With the increasing threats to our computer systems we're considering buying protection instead of continuing to use the freebies. Any thoughts/recommendations? We have two laptops - one with Windows 7 and the other with Windows 10. Thanks -

C. Victoria.
So you take hwy 97 to 40 West? Do you have a way to check the security situation in Reynosa before you head that way? Thanks

Pharr is only open to cars early in the morning or after 6 at night. Check the Mexican land ports of entry to check the times of each crossing. I've taken Ansalduas for the last two years.
Do you go through Monterrey or Ciudad Victoria?
-
Any recent experience and/or comments? Thanks.
Edited to add: Will be driving up through Ciudad Victoria, not Monterrey.

I faxed my 2022 form to the Winnipeg fax number 2 weeks ago; 3 days later had my notice of assessment and 1 week after that my refund was in the bank.
How did you fax it? From your computer? If so, which program did you use? Thanks

Found it here https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents/non-residents-canada.html in the Which income tax package should you use? section, right above the Filing due date heading.
"Due to international mail delays, the CRA is temporarily accepting non-resident income tax returns through fax. You can fax your return to the tax centre applicable to your country of residence."
I haven't done my taxes yet. If you successfully send yours by fax please let me know. Thanks very much for posting this.

OK, I'll take a look at Section 217. Thanks.

Apparently we can FAX our tax returns this year ( non-resident, not the "usual" return). This would be great but haven't needed to FAX anything for years. Where is the best place to go for several pages each person? Gracias
I hadn't heard about this. Tried to find it on CRA's website but couldn't. Do you have a link to the information? Thanks.

If you renew Amigo Normal within 24 hours of the expiration of your current two months, then you should not lose the minutes you have accumulated. They carry over with Amigo Normal. Good luck
I've put another $100 on a few days after the expiry of my 60 days and my old saldo still carried over.

You can check here
This is a good one. It gives you options as well. Thanks!

I have the Amigo Por Segundo option - not a plan. I pay less than 1 peso per minute, charged by the second. I put $100 pesos on my number at Oxxo and it lasts 60 days. When you go to Oxxo you have to tell them it's a "Recarga Normal, no de Plan." Don't know if you can get anything cheaper than that.

Hi, does anyone know? When I cross into the US it automatically changes to T-Mobile. I don't have a plan, I just pay as I go.

Good morning, does anyone know how much long-term parking costs at GDL or one of the parking lots nearby? Thanks.

I live in San Carlos and love it. Now it is hot in the summer. About 4 months of heat and humidity. I like San Carlos because it is a community. Lots of good restaurants, bars, and friendly people.Keep in mind it is a no hassle zone. Which means no visas required, cars with any plates anyone can drive.
Sounds inviting. What's the cost of living like in San Carlos? Thanks.

Thanks so much, sm1mex. Could you post here the brand and model?
These are photos of the emergency lights sm1mx purchased. Sent to my email at my request.

Also, don't forget the flashlight on your phone if you have nothing else.

If you bought the car you likely have an RFC. Did you check using your CURP?
Go to: https://www.sat.gob.mx/personas/tramites-del-rfc
Go To RFC Procedures
From the Drop Down Menu click "See More"
Scroll down and Use the RFC Validation Drop Down Menu
Click "Check your RFC key using CURP"
Optional: If you get a screen that shows your RFC, take a screenshot and print it. It will have your CURP in the background.
Take that paper to the papeleria on the corner of Ramon Corona and Priv. Ramon Corona in SAT. Tell the woman that you need your Constancia. You'll need to come back when it's ready with $100. That is what your insurance agent needs.
Thanks for the info but I bought a used car several years ago and, yes, I did check and I don't have an RFC.

If you drive a car you may want to rethink your position. No car insurance company (not talking the agents) will be allowed to issue you a policy or a policy renewal without RFC and Constancia from now on.
So, what if we can't get an appointment at SAT to get an RFC by then? My insurance expires early in July.

I use activated charcoal. I open a capsule into my mouth - gotta do it carefully because that black powder will go everywhere. Then I swish it around in my mouth for 5 or more minutes, carefully spit it out into the sink, and then brush my teeth. Can do it every week or so. Not gonna get the fake white that chemicals provide, but I think it helps.

So even if you have their credit card you are still stuck paying more for using it there?
When you consider the additional cost of having it that doesn't strike me as much of a good deal.
Mea culpa, I just looked at the price labels again and you pay the same as cash price if you use the Costco card, so you'd have to spend 15,000 pesos to cover the annual fee. Lo siento mucho!

I have a couple of photos of Costco price labels on my phone so I did a bit of math. To pay with a credit card as opposed to cash costs 2.3% more, so you're really getting 0.7% back on your purchases. In order to pay for the $450 annual fee, you'd have to spend 64,285 pesos per year or 5,357 per month - just to pay for the annual fee.

So, I used Wise to transfer the rent from my Canadian bank into my landlord's account. I needed his full name, email address and CLABE. I didn't need his address. He received the money about 4 hours after I did the transfer.

Excuse my ignorance, but are you referring to pinning a website to the taskbar?
