You will be eligible from the day you land. If you fail to stay in Alberta after your delivery for the minimum period required, you will likely be asked to repay the medical costs with possible penalties.

Plus two or three more hikes next year. The era of low interest rates is over.

You don't have to live in Canada to be a tax resident. You are obligated to file if you are considered a tax resident and you earned income during the relevant period. So yes, you should file your 2017 taxes even if you weren't living in Canada if your wife/family were living here.

You each file your own tax returns.

You absolutely do need to report savings held overseas if they exceed $100,000.

Income earned in 2017 has to be reported on the 2017 tax filing. So, you need to include your December income on your 2017 tax return.

You pay taxes for the period that you are a tax resident of Canada. If that is one month in 2017, then you only pay taxes on income earned in that one month. It's not an all or nothing proposition.

Not on your whole year's income...only on the income earned from the date that your wife began living in Canada. It makes perfect sense if you think about it. If she is living here, using Canada's services and not earning, someone has to pay for it, right?

Yes, if you or your wife are living in Canada for any part of 2017, you should file taxes. If she doesn't have any income, then she is not obligated to. But, if you are earning, you must, even if you are living overseas.

I agree with the previous comments. If your wife and child are living in Canada, then you are definitely a tax resident of Canada and must pay tax on your global income.

As Canuck_in_the_UK mentioned, she won't automatically be eligible to receive money unless she actually needs it (i.e., has a low global income). She will have to declare what her household's earnings were in 2017 from all sources, and that will determine her benefits for the next year. As for...

Borrowing money from OSAP is not really a strong tie to Canada, particularly if the money was used to study outside of Canada.

Lying to the CIC is only going to get you barred from Canada. Trust me, the reach of CIC is greater than you think and they have access to all sorts of information.

I've read stories of people throwing away their passport once they board a flight with the full intention of claiming asylum once they land. Not having a passport makes it harder for immigration officials to verify their identities, claims and their stories.

Whether you submit a tax return for 2017 depends on whether she will have income in Canada or not. If she won't, she doesn't need to file, but it may help her eligibility for benefits. You should be aware that you will likely become a tax resident by virtue of your wife living in Canada and...

There is no loophole, and misrepresenting anything on your tax return is a criminal offence.

How large is the organization, how long has it been around and how long will you be working in Canada first?

The answer really depends on what you declared in your tax returns. When your family moved in 2015, you effectively became a tax resident of Canada, and were obligated to file returns declaring your global income. Did you do this? If so, did you declare the properties on your tax filing...

You are fine, and won't likely be considered a resident until you establish primary ties (e.g., buy a house, move your family here, etc.)

This happened a couple of months ago. Banks are getting increasingly conservative due to the real estate market downturn.,
