The deal is closed when the title is transferred; until then, its merely a reserved item. Meaning, I (the seller) or my stuff do not have to move out. FYI, the house will be on market starting next week and therefore I am being proactive with my moving/renting options.

As of now, I haven't declared any of my items as I am not sure if I will be bringing them or not. FYI, I always have a choice to amend that document. BTW, relocubes won't work for me - They are too small for the amount of items I have.

$400/month is a bit stretch for me. Is there no other cheaper option?

For now, I transferred my number over to Ting for $15/month and left the phone with my friend. My friend would let me know if any text is received on my number. As far as calls go, I then forwarded the calls to my "TextNow" app number; meaning, I get all the calls through internet on my...

did you figure out the storage part of your concern? this one topic is hindering own my head for last several months. I have a huge house in US that will be sold soon; not sure how and where to get all those stuff stored for now.

Can you please provide details on how the citizenship process works once the 1095 days (3 years) criteria is fulfilled? For eg: number of days and steps involved between start to finish (most importantly, the timeline involved in the process) BTW, are days spent in Canada during visitor visa...

Yup, one of my friend told me the same. A lot of the changes are politically motivated. However, what's the current norm (on the 4 points)? Just trying to understand how things work under the current law.

What makes you think I am claiming two different primary address? Also, on what grounds are you basing all other assumption? First of all, the reason for my questions are my wife - She resides in United States while I moved to Canada. Secondly, neither do I intend, nor am I engaged in any fraud...

@canuck78 @APPNOV2014NY @steaky @YVR123 @tobs @EE456 Hi members, would any of you know the answers to the above questions?

For Question #2: a. Is there any exception in case you messed up? Meaning, would the govt give you additional time to meet the requirement? b. If stripped off from PR status, do an individual have to go through the entire process again in future? For Question #3: a. I agree with excel part for...

I think you are mixing two different things. Tax is individual's contribution that enables elective members to govern and prosper the country; where-else OHIP (medical) is an additional facility that we receive from govt. FYI, not all countries provide this facility to their people. Therefore...

Can someone please help me with my below questions: 1. When does the 2 year PR residency requirement start? Is it after I receive PR approval or is it after the first landing? 2. What happens if I am stay outside the country for 3 1/2 half and then decide to settle in Canada? **Post-Landing**...

Given that I am not a US citizen and that I would be working as an independent contractor, I wouldn't need to pay any employment tax (such as FICA in US) to CRA. As far as federal and provisional income tax goes, that would be part of my year-end filing. In both case, why does a entity need to...

Trust me, I have all my ducks in row when it comes to my H1-B. My employer already has an immigration lawyer that they consult with every now and then. This should take care of all immigration policies for United States. As far as Canada goes, I have never heard about a restriction regarding...

I don't intent to hide any income from CRA. So as long as I reveal my foreign income and pay appropriate tax, I don't see why I should be worried. BTW, I do agreed with you on the GC process. That said, I am not planning to find a faster route to USA through Canadian citizenship. I am not sure...
