Playa del Carmen

Is there any Canadians I can commicate with on this forum regarding moving to PDC.
We live in Alberta and the Mexican consulate is in Calgary. 
We have to make an appointment regarding  our temporary resident visas.
We have been told to sell all your belongings and just bring what you need etc. I have heard that the boarder can be difficult to cross, is this true??

I moved with 2 suitcases to Merida from Saskatoon :)
Suggest to check on some of the facebook groups for more info regarding residency procedures.
