Im sure  adelitas t finish at 10.30 or 11pm and keep music down.

Dont like it dont go.

And no i would like to accept your invitation.

But delegado is very receptive here, but until the music plays. Nothing to do as it is more than likely wrong info.

I never invited you and I’m sure Adelita’s wouldn’t want you there.. Not that you would get a table there anyway.... every night there’s music there, it’s a full house..There are still lots of expats and Mexicans who enjoy a night of music and dancing...

More of MC’s BS......It has been many months about 5 or 6 actually since Adelita’s changed the start to time to 8pm at the request of the priest from the neighboring church..

More of MC’s BS. Adelita’s changed their schedule to accommodate the church’s Schedule.. The music does not start until  8pm or later any night of the week now....

So how do you think various regulations above apply to Canadians who are nonresidents of Canada. Many Canadians living in Mexico are non residents of Canada. 

Aren’t they only non residents for tax purposes...? 

Don’t be cheap..  spend 60 peso and park..  Driving around and around  then trying to find a spot to stop and pick them up is not worth the the aggravation.. 

Your lucky they even took it back. Some items purchased NOB are not returnable and not cover under warranty... tires for example...

Geezer needs to get a life..  To be checking what is being scanned in that closely seems paranoid to me... I check my change, could never remember the price on the shelf of every item in my basket...

Walmart..

As usual most of the expats are all talk and let someone else do it.. I suspect very few attended the meeting if there even was a meeting..

Dr Haro is the best around Lakeside, also the most expensive..If you use him you won’t be disappointed...

The web site is working. I used it a week ago.. http://www.chapala.com/quality-care.html

Google Quality Care.

You are comparing things with your own country.

We are in mexico.

Prices have risen constantly here.used to be 600 pesos a couple of years ago.big percentage rise .a  normal consult was 200. Now 400.

Lakeside is made more expensive with comments like this.

 

Newbie's like to convert back to US dollars.. Was at Quality Care this week and heard someone whom I assume was a newbie telling the specialist how cheap his bill was compared to the US.  So don't be surprised if the fees go up next week..

 I was told they are on the expensive side compared to other doctors in the area.. Any truth to that? Thank you.

So they are  expensive.. You can't take it with you.. I have never chosen a doctor or a dentist based on price...

From reading the board there I would say they have just about every kind of specialist you can think of .. Except a GP (Family Doctor)

Great lab. I had blood work done this week.. 

If you want a card use a facilator, someone like Veronica who is at LCS on Monday and Tuesday mornings. 10 until 1 I believe ..

I can't see how a Transport Canada official would know if or what modifications a Mexican plated 2014 Honda would require to pass the import test without a physical inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle could have been manufactured in Japan, the US, or assembled in Mexico. All of which might result in different safety and emissions features.

That's correct .. That guy is so full of BS..  When you import a vehicle into Canada which I have done. You don't call Transport Canada, you call the Ministry of Imported Vehicles. Give them the make model and VIN.. they will enter it into the their computer which gives them all the info on said vehicle. And they will give you a "Yes or No" right then and there.... If it's a "Yes" they will mail you an importation package which contains all the required paper work...

I have recently been discussing with Transport Canada and Border staff the issue of importing a Mexican plated vehicle into Canada.

First, if you are a Resident of Canada, you CANNOT bring your car into Canada on a temporary basis but must import it through the proper process.

Second, no car purchased in Mexico will meet the necessary requirements for importation unless you specifically had the dealer provide a vehicle that is compliant with Canadian specifications, and this request is very unusual, to say the least.

So, the answer is simple:  If you are a Canadian Resident you cannot legally take your Mexican car across the border into Canada!!  Non-residents, however have absolutely no difficulty to bring the vehicle into Canada temporarily, with no paperwork required.

Having said that, when asked at entry "where do you live", people do lie/misdirect at customs locations when entering Canada and say that they live in Mexico (implying non-resident) and may even flash their Mexican Perm Res card as "proof".  You, as a "non-resident", are then allowed to bring their vehicles into Canada and I am not sure that there is any way for the Customs official to actually check the status.  I am very much not suggesting that you lie,  but you need to understand the rules.  If they follow up with the actual "are you a non-resident" question, you may be in a real pickle for your previous answer.

If you say you are a Canadian Resident, no matter how long you have been out of the country, your vehicle is denied entry.

Not sure if you are always asked about "where you live", but they are not used to seeing any foreign cars other than US, so expect them to ask.

You must have been talking to the wrong people..  ,Because my Canadian neighbor has driven his Mexician plated Honda Civic to Canada (Ontario) severall times to visit family. He has never mentioned having any issues at the border...

i don't believe that every vehicle  purchased in Mexico is not eligible to be imported into Canada.. Some maybe... But every one....B.S.

I heard these kinds of stories when I was going to import a vehicle from the US into Canada many years ago.. From people who claim they were knowledgable on the subject.. I was told you can't do it, it's to difficult, it's would cost to much money.  I finally called the Ministry of Imported Vehicles gave them the make and model, they told me right there on the phone that I could import that particular vehicle.. It was so easy to do.

I know importing and just visiting are totally different situations, But my point is "Don't rely on anything you read on forums".  Speak to the right people and ask them to email/mail you the relevant information .....That's what I did... 

Can I use the RFC # assigned to me by my auto insurance agent/company..?

Just looked on my insurance policy.. There is a RFC#. Opposite my name... Would it be my RFC #... It does have my DOB In the numbers...?   I know I never applied for one...

How do you get one.. ?

Three years ago, a friend drove his one-year-old Chevy Sonic up to Canada and was refused entry at the Alberta border. They cited higher safety standards in Canada as the reason. 

This is another one of those " I have a friend who knows someone that has a friend who overheard someone in a bar telling someone how he couldn't get his car in to Canada stories". 

Use an airport taxi van.  If they blockade the airport parking like they did last week trying to get picked up in a private vehicle was a nightmare..  

Try Verionica who is at LCS Monday and Tues morning 10 till 1.  She is very good at handling those things..
