Moving is cheap for the CF? It will cost them 35 000$ to move me from Kingston to Winnipeg next month...

Scott said:I think I got .55 cents a km for my truck and was allowed to claim all meals and hotels with receipts.
Scott said:Grande Prairie, AB to just outside Halifax, NS for about 5500 km and it did indeed come out to 5500 bucks, give or take a few Loonies. The move was this time last year and we did get a bit of a break because of my fire service, the same break they give to CF members. I would not kid about what I have claimed with Revenue Canada, I have been audited for the last 5 years, this being the first one they haven't, and don't particularly enjoy it.
Why are you spending Gov't money on hotels when you arrive? There was zero provision for this under Revenue Canada, IIRC. Was this a CF sponsored move?
Incidentals?

My experience has been that you are entitled to hotel accommodations until your F&E arrive. Springroll indicated that it took 23 days for her F&E to arrive and that she received 23 days hotel... although 23 days seems like a tremendously long time... I don't think it took me that long to get my stuff back from Lahr!

Springroll said:Well the thread is called "Moving in the CF", so I wouldn't have posted the information I did unless it pertained to this particular thread.
CF sponsored move for us.
We were posted back to Canada at the end of his NATO posting, as is usually done. As for why we were spending money on hotels when we got to location, house was not in our possession yet, so where else would we live??
Incidental money is for those little things that you are unable to move through the moving company like your bbq propane tanks, cleaners etc

Propane tank, cleaning and things the mover's cant take are reimbursed by providing the supporting recepits when meeting IRP at destination for your claim. Incidental money is provided as a per diem ( in addition to the daily meal rate) and received with your advance at origin ( if you take one).
Springroll said:Are you thinking the daily incidental rate of $17/day?
IRPP in Colorado Springs told us that the lump sum of $650 was for the replacement of propane tanks, blinds, cleaning supplies and such that would need to be replaced. It even says so on our financial worksheet.
Springroll said:Are you thinking the daily incidental rate of $17/day?
Springroll said:Maybe the terms changed then since our move was in 2004, but when we moved in 2001 I don't recall us ever getting the $650. We had to turn over receipts for the tanks, cleaners etc.
I am looking at the worksheet and it says Non-accountable Incidentals $650.
If you would like, I can scan it so you can see what it says for yourself?
