It depends on if it's an international phone or not.. they need to be able to understand the different kind of cell phone signal that is sent in Europe because it's different here in North America. Although, sometimes it's easy enough to just get one of those phones and put your Slovenian sim card in it and have it work... The other issues is that I'm fairly sure that it will work physically, but it might be possible that the carrier they were designed for has blocked the feature as I know Verizon will do a lot... but from what I understand AT&T doesn't do that as much.... I'm pretty sure that it should work.. but you might drop calls and stuff more often because the bands are different... my co-workers and I have foreign phones and they all work here... so I think you'll be fine. So I would say that it will probably work.... but you will definitely need your Slovenian SIM.. P.S. I have a friend from Slovenia... I think it's really cool that you're from there! The food--- mmmmm sooo good!

Can I take tools into Canada to work on my boat and then take the tools back to the US without paying customs

Can I take tools into Canada to work on my boat and then take the tools back to the US without paying customs?
I have a boat in Canada that needs some repairs. I have all my tools in the US. Is there a way to take my pickup full of tools into Canada, work on my boat and then go back to the US with my tools, but without paying customs fee anywhere?

Make a list of the tools. Include a serial # for any that have one. Most power tools should have a serial #. Make sure that you declare them to Canada Customs when you enter the country and ask them to put a customs stamp on your list. Show that list to US customs when you leave and you should have no problems at all.

knh959 is correct in giving the safest option. I'll make a wild guess here and say that most of your tools wouldn't be mistaken as brand new. As long as you don't buy tools in Canada, you don't have to pay duties on them.

The costs varies, you should contact a local immigration lawyer for this purpose & they will tell you. You can do it urself as well but the procedure is complicated & u are prone to make mistakes. Most of the lawyers (or firms e.g. Pricewaterhousecoopers aka PWC) have fixed price for the work done. PWC is well known in corporate immigration matters, cost a bit on top than others, but they prepare the case solid & well documented (I am not advertising for them, u can choose one of ur own choice, I am just giving example). Good luck.

if your relative gets a job with a canadian company (very doubtful) the only cost they pay is the airfares. the company pays for the work permit. if you wish to apply for it without a job, then it costs CAD$150 (if you are approved). A lawyer is not necessary.

If you are getting a Lawyer or Immigrant consultant, that is an additional cost. You can do it on your own. It varies from place to place. Call CIC or check their website to be accurate how much it is. www.cic.gc.ca You do not need a representative, if you can do it yourself.
