Uninsured car fines (Toronto, Canada)?
Two good answers above. I would only add that bw022 is wrong in that there is no authority for police to impound an uninsured car in Ontario. With that said, it still happens fairly often because the officers claim that it is illegally parked or unlawfully on private property (even though they caused the driver to stop there). But parked cars don't require insurance, only moving ones, so the police are technically impounding these cars without the backing of any law and if the owner were to sue the police service for their towing costs, they would likely get them reimbursed.
How much gold can you bring to Canada without any questions asked at the border?
There are 2 scenarios in which you bring gold into the country. I’ve been through both so I’d share my experience.First is pretty simple and has been answered already. It’s <$10K including all goods, cash and jewelry that you’re bringing to Canada. It can be in any combinations, for example: $2000 cash, ring worth $4000 and Gold coins worth $3999. Just need to below $10k.Secondly, if you’re immigrating (landing for the first time) you declare all the stuff you’re bringing into Canada and plan to bring in near future (within 3 years). Here, there’s is no limit (doesn’t mean millions) as long as you can prove that the gold or jewelry is from legitimate sources and you own them (CBSA might ask for receipts or other documents as a proof). One has to declare all the high-value stuff they plan to bring in the 3 years period, It’s a written declaration in which each item is listed with its approx. value. This form is to be carried whenever the listed material are brought into Canada.Hope it helps!

How much money for Florida vacation?
A 12 hour drive car trip (one way or all total?) is going to cost you a lot of money. Without knowing the fuel efficiency of your vehicle it's impossible to estimate. But it's easy to figure out. You also need to consider the gas it's going to cost you to drive around FLA for 19 days. Tampa is a long way from Melbourne Beach. Food will cost you approx $60-$65 a day. $5 each for Breakfast, $8 each for Lunch and $20 for dinner if you want to eat well. You can cut that quite a bit by eating cheap or only eating twice a day. Souvenirs, fun and other entertainment expenses will cost you about $50 a day but again, this is completely discretionary. You can spend more or less, it all depends on what you like, what you want and how much cash you have at your disposal. So let's assume you'll fill up the tank every 4 days at $40 a tankful. Let's estimate high and say $250 for fuel. Let's assume you enjoy fast food and you don't mind eating cheap, but you'll splurge at least twice with a nice white table cloth dinner. $1000 for food. $50 a day for miscellaneous spending seem high but you'll go through it quicker than anticipated. Another $900 for daily cash spending on souvenirs and shopping. 250 gas 1000 food 900 misc $2200 Your $2000 budget will probably get the job done but if you had $2500 you'd have more fun.
This is a scam right? (UK Lottery, but they sent me a legit check?)?
IT IS A RELATIVELY NEW SCAM. It is about two years old and is presented a couple of ways. The check isn't good even though your bank pays it. When it comes back around, you will be liable for the whole amount. Even though your bank cashes the check, it is no good. They count on your check clearing before their's come bouncing back. As a customer service tour bank limits themselvesw on how long they hold funds. They release the money before the check actually clears its original bank. The scammers use banks and systems that take longer than the hold. DO NOT CASH THE CHECK. Call your local consumer fraud authorities.
Steps to buying a used car in Ontario, Canada?
You must pay sales tax when you buy a used vehicle privately. The amount of tax is on either the purchase price or the vehicle's wholesale value, whichever is more. ------- Get a Used Vehicle Information Package and check the lien information. Its very important. Nobody wants to watch a tow truck take away the car they just bought. But that is what can happen, if there is an outstanding debt, or lien, on a vehicle you have purchased. This is one reason why it is so important to get a Used Vehicle Information Package and check the lien information. ----------- To get complete detail,check this URL:--- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/10/buying-used-car.html
If my bank mistakenly deposits $1,000,000 into my account, am I legally allowed to spend it before they realize their mistake?
Once a bank deposited mistakenly 150,000 in my account, I took it all and when bank sent me a notice, I refused to pay. The bank then collected the money from my other bank account which was with same bank. The bank informed me that how mistake was done. It was due to same debit card number on diffrent accounts. I went to a lawyer and sued the bank 1. Mishandling accounts2. Intention to create negetive credit report (before this incident I tried to apply for a loan and bank refused it since I had bad credit score)3. Agnoy caused. 4. Mental harrasment. The case was judged in my favor and bank needed to pay me another 250,000 as damages. Court also ordered bank to pay 150,000 to the person who lost money and damages of 100,000 Soon after this the bank manager was changed and bank forced closed my accounts giving reason a really bad credit report and as a negetive customer. I again filed a case against them since no bank can deny your account on basis of credit report. Since now this time it was in media, bank settled the case outside the court giving me 500,000 and 250,000 to my lawyer. Later after a year I applied for a loan under certain special conditions and bank approved it without going for in depth investigation. I was unable to pay installment on time so they sent a recovery agent to me who tried to force money illegally, since I have CCTV installed, I had all proofs that it was bank's agent trying to harras me. I sent it all to my same lawyer again and before any case could be filed, a settlement was made in which bank closed my loan and offered me a million dollar as damages. I again applied for loan bank approved it and even I don't pay my installments on time bank never calls me or sends a reminder. You see you need to have presence of mind and a good lawyer.
How much cash is a person allowed to carry in an international flight?
I did it once… I live in Atlanta GA, but travel often to Japan for business. I might leave with $100 USD. But I return with a purse full of CASH, hard cold currency. Any where from $5k to $20k a trip. So, as the trips continued and the purse grew fatter, the first time I returned with more than $10,000, I filled in the customs form regarding the $16,000 in my purse. I cleared customs in Dallas on that trip, showed them my form and was sent to a side office.Customs officer: Howdy welcome to Texas, can I see your form.Me: “hello, here, I need to declare that I am have over $10k in cash so you will not confiscate it. “Customs officer: “whoooo hooooo Harry get over here somebody actually declared CASH, you got to see this, nobody ever declares cash. How much you got there, ohh that is a cute purse… oh yea, it says right here on the form, $16,000, in a purse that cute, you better hold on tight to that. It says you left with $100. I am not even going to ask what you did on this trip to make that much cash. Thank you sweetie. Ya’ll have a nice day, and welcome back to the USA. There is the exit”. She really said all of that with out taking a single breath.The other customs officer, Harry, made a couple of remarks along the same lines….Since then, I have gotten in the import business and spend most of it there, and more people use credit cards, so I have never had more than that at one time. That is OK, I love making that kind of money, but hate having it in my bag when traveling. So far so good, I have never lost it on the way home.
