Dear Experts
Apologies if my questions are repetitions of some which I have previously asked. As I am now finally relocating in less than 30 days, I am consolidating my questions to have a final view.
Background is that myself, my wife and elder son have PR cards expiring in Jun '18. We landed in 2013 in Ontario (15 days only) and by the expiry of our PR we will not be completing our Residency Obligation. My younger son has got a TRP issued in November '17 valid for 2 years. Reason for delay in our relocation was mainly medical situation in the family which we had to manage.
Now we are moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia and would be entering Canada border directly at Halifax airport. Below are some questions:
1. As we run a risk of getting reported at the port of entry for non-compliance of residency obligation what preparation can we do to minimize the chance. Will appointing a lawyer to help us in entering help? Or is it completely on luck.
2. Should I apply for my younger son’s sponsorship (who is on TRP) immediately – at airport or at immigration office after we enter? Or wait till 2 years when we can renew our PRs and then apply for his sponsorship?
3. Does anyone know what would be the rights of my son on TRP in Nova Scotia. I called MSI and they say that he will not be getting health cover however the Nova Scotia website (https://novascotia.ca/DHW/msi/moving_travel.asp) mentions the following:
"Dependent Children under the age of 19 are granted coverage on the same basis as their parents once the applicant has gained entitlement."
Will his schooling be covered and will he be eligible to join public school based on TRP status?
4. As we had landed back in 2013, will the goods / personal belongings that we bring together with us be subject to tax / duty or will we be treated as new comers? Also, we would be shipping some goods for later date too, can we still carry a list of “goods to follow”?
