  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Do you go through Monterrey or Ciudad Victoria?
  4. Any recent experience and/or comments? Thanks. Edited to add: Will be driving up through Ciudad Victoria, not Monterrey.
  5. How did you fax it? From your computer? If so, which program did you use? Thanks
  6. 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.
  7. OK, I'll take a look at Section 217. Thanks.
  8. 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.
  9. I've put another $100 on a few days after the expiry of my 60 days and my old saldo still carried over.
  10. This is a good one. It gives you options as well. Thanks!
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Good morning, does anyone know how much long-term parking costs at GDL or one of the parking lots nearby? Thanks.
  14. Sounds inviting. What's the cost of living like in San Carlos? Thanks.
  15. These are photos of the emergency lights sm1mx purchased. Sent to my email at my request.
  16. Also, don't forget the flashlight on your phone if you have nothing else.
  17. 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.
  18. So, what if we can't get an appointment at SAT to get an RFC by then? My insurance expires early in July.
  19. The following was posted a while ago. Calling from Mexico to US or Canadian Toll Free numbers: For 800 numbers: Dial 001-880 & the seven digit number For 866 numbers: Dial 001-883 & the seven digit number For 877 numbers: Dial 001-882 & the seven digit number For 888 numbers: Dial 001-881 & the seven digit number
  20. 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.
  21. 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!
  22. 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. Edit: 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!
  23.

  24. 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.
  25. I've looked at World Nomads and Square Mouth. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
