One piece of advise is make sure you get a copy of your drivers abstract you will need every little discount you can get. It's expensive out there for new drivers compared to BC.

another side note of my experience, when the Alberta registry office wanted my ICBC abstract, i was sweating it a bit since i had gotten a few speeding tickets on my BC license when i first moved to Calgary (i have since smartened up about where the cops like to sit). on the day that my abstract gets faxed to me though, it's completely clean. somehow the lines of communication got screwed up and ICBC was never informed of my tickets, that is until about 6 months after getting my Alberta license i get a letter in the mail from ICBC warning that they're going to suspend my now non-existent BC license (it was more than a few tickets)
i still marvel about how lucky i was through that whole experience
