I think most sites will be fine as long as you tell them your new address after your move.Some laws are obviously going to be different for different countries,so some bonuses might not be valid in certain countries,if you are in the middle of a bonus you may need to get it checked out. I would just get my documents verified at my new address and ask support about bonuses before actually playing just to be on the safe side.Good luck.

Welcome to Canada, which province are you moving to??
when you arrive and settle down, log into pokerstars and edit your personal information, new address etc. you won't be eligeble for new bonuses cause you already have an account. Don't reg a new account or both might get blocked. accounts go by name, birthday etc, not country.

Hi mate, no you cannot change your location , you could if you use some special software but what the use you cannot deposit if you from certain countries and you have the risk of winning a ot of money and then the money is forfeited as you was from a banned country you would have lost time and all, anyway good luck if you can find tables where you can play then good luck and have fun at the tables mate, hope you do well!

There vwont be any problem with the big poker sites you will just have to change your address and probably they will ask for proof of your new location like a copy of lease or utility bill. However if you have money in an account with Skrill or neteller you will have to close your account cause Canada is banned by these company. Welcome in our country and good luck to you here.

Before you start logging in from any site you have an account, either it is a poker one or not, notify them about your change. It will save you time probably, since many sites as a precaution will start locking you out.

...You can ONLY enter Canada from the Philippines if you bring some nice tasty Samosas to share...!
Samosas from the Philippines??
I don't like them
...Oh yes crashdude...!!! There was a little Philippino bakery by where I used to work,....and I'm tellin' YOU that the most heavenly aromas used to emminate from that place....
...I used to buy a few Samosas now and then,... There were 3 kinds:
vegetable,....
and chicken,....and beef.....!
Little triangles of some nice pastry stuffed with potatoes and peas,...and the meat ones were potatoes, peas, and meat,....then deep fried I guess in some kind of oil,...like peanut oil or something.....!!!
Many sites have different rules when it comes to canadian residents, but you only need to bother with this if they specifically ask you about why are you using a canadian IP address. Otherwise only change your registered address when you could prove you actually live there (having bills coming with your names on it, etc.). And it's Canada, be sure you to bring some warm clothes with you.

And those four biggest sites could give you the option to deposit or withdraw with skrill, neteller or your credit card? I was talking about this.

You did not read my post i said that skrill and neteller was not available in Canada but there are other options for deposit and withdraw.I am using instant eCheck on pokerstars and Full Tilt, Electronic transfer on partypoker and instant banking on 888 and no problem. Instadebit is also available here and accepted on the big sites.

Makes you wonder though, if their example will be followed by the rest of the payment solutions. But so far the ones still available arent that much of a hassle. The instant banking you are mentioning in 888, is it a fast system?

All these years i have only used bank transfer once. Besides the conversion fees, for some reason the bank charged me with a fee for the transaction of 20 USD. So that was the end of the experiment with bank transfers.
But of course it is better waiting a little more to get your money, than no winning at all, and have the fastest available method for cashing out
Samosas from the Philippines??
