Bank Transfer by thezuber

I am trying to transfer money from Scotiabank Canada to Banco Santa cruz but Scotiabank wont accept the Swift #SCRZDOSD. They require numerical only. Any help would be appreciated

My bank only will send in U.S. funds. I have to convert Canadian dollars to U.S. for them to send it. Very annoying and expensive. Read More

Mail Forwarding companies? by crabelramble

I'm looking for current info on mail-forwarding companies and a primer on what needs to be done to use them. I've searched but came up empty. Is there already a topic that has that info?

Rob & Michele Davies

The one I use from Ontario Canada is closing soon. So now I'm looking for a replacement for this service. They have an option of scanning the mail and emailing it to me, very convenient. Hopefully i can find another service like this from Canada. Read More

How does one apply for this? "Now, in regards to anual property taxes. People over 65 years of age with a single real estate property intended for housing are exempt from paying the anual Real Estate Property Tax (IPI)." Read More
