Thanks to both, but I'm still having trouble. I must be doing something wrong.

These are the steps I took after reading the advice from both of you.

I start by setting my project CRS.

Then I click Layer, add layer, add vector layer.

Then layer save as, and here I select the appropriate CRS.

But when I do this with files that have originated from two different sources with different native projections (or no projection?) they still do not align.

I am not in Canada, I am in the Pacific Northwest of the US.

thanks.

Hello,

I'm a new user of QGIS but have many years experience with ArcGIS.

I am working with two datasets from two different sources and cannot get
project-on-the-fly to work.

I am using QGIS 2.8.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.

What I have tried:

(1) right clicking each layer, going to Set Layer CRS, setting all the
layers to the same projection (NAD83  EPSG:4269)  and I've also tried
(NAD83(CSRS)  EPSG:4617).



Set CRS for Layer is not the right way. You have to save the layers under a different name and the target CRS.

HTH,
