Recommendations for Good Antivirus/Malware Protection
Frijoles replied to Frijoles's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Excuse my ignorance, but are you referring to pinning a website to the taskbar? -
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
-
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.

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.

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.

Looking for the cheapest possible TelCel plan

I've put another $100 on a few days after the expiry of my 60 days and my old saldo still carried over. -

This is a good one. It gives you options as well. Thanks! -
Looking for the cheapest possible TelCel plan
Frijoles replied to Mainecoons's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
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. -
Good morning, does anyone know how much long-term parking costs at GDL or one of the parking lots nearby? Thanks.

Sounds inviting. What's the cost of living like in San Carlos? Thanks. -

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.

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.
