Hi Shannon,

Unfortunately, you won't be able to download anything from NLS, since you live in Canada, but the other things Ella suggested should be helpful to you.

Listers, please take care to read posts so that you don't give information that they cannot use, like NLS not being available to people in other countries.

Blessings,

Linda
