I have been reading about the new visa requirements that the U.S. has put in place where we will now have to pay $250. for a visitors’ visa. We spend five to six months in Arizona each year. Will this affect us?

I just renewed my licence plates at Service Ontario, but my permit was not updated. It still says that my plates will expire next month. What proof can I give a Florida police officer that my licence plate has not expired….

My wife and I have Nexus cards. How do the rules regarding crossing the border affect us with Nexus cards? We will be driving to Florida in the fall. Just want to make sure that we have our information right.

We are selling our Florida home. Can we bring back used items like clothes, open bottles of liquor, furniture, pictures, garden tools…basically anything we have owned in the years we have been snowbirds, or would we have to sell it off in the U.S.?
