Inspector buildings, notary, mortgage broker, insurance broker etc ... I can provide you with a list, particularly those suppliers to the Brookfield Relocation Services (BGRS) like us. We work with all these professionals, their bilingualism is important to ease your HHT.

Your posting message.
Two ID cards (with pictures)
A copy of your most recent pay slip showing deductions etc... (Statement of Contributions and federal tax report)
Proof of down payment: A copy of your current bank statement or statement showing your savings (RRSP, mutual funds etc...)
If the down payment is coming from the equity in your present home please bring a copy of your most recent mortgage statement. If your home has sold but the sale has not yet been closed bring a copy of the file (Contract, offers, amendments, lawyer coordinates etc...) If you have car loans, personal loans, credit card balances etc... bring your statements showing your current balance and all pertinent information. Same goes for your spouse. Bring your checkbook (most professional you will used billed directly to Relocation Services, BGRS)
*Also if you are from outside Québec and have children of school ages bring their latest report card and birth certificate, schooling being different it will helpful .It's better to bring too much then missing something.
*You should bring your camera to take pictures of your future home (remember we will need the owners permission). Most of the houses for sale in Québec are sold rarely with the appliances. If you are taking your appliances with you or buying new ones the measurements will be a must.
