You are deemed a resident in Pakistan, but are still responsible for Canadian taxes since your family is situated here. You have to file in Pakistan first, and then in Canada. You will receive credit for all taxes paid in Pakistan, but given Canadian tax rates are higher, will likely have to...

Great post! I'm glad you have settled in well, and are enjoying life in your new home.

Caring about, or even prioritizing, your own situation is one thing. Wishing ill upon others (by saying you wish it never passes) becuase something doesn't help you is completely different. There is a huge distinction.

Aaah yes, because this bill is all about you, right?

You seem to be overlooking the fact that the "Countries like Canada" that have "measly" growth rates have significantly larger economies, and as a result, the growth percentages appear smaller. It's always easier to start with a base of 10 and increase it to 15 to claim a 50% growth rate...

It sounds like you have some personal issues, but nothing even close to matters that are life-threatening (war, persecution, etc.). As a result, your chances of successfully being classified as a refugee are extremely slim. You can try, but should be aware that if you fail, you will have a lot...

Your job prospects will depend more on your work experience than on any certifications. The CFA will help, but it is fairly common in Canada and won't serve to open doors for you here.

I think you are fine. The French Club isn't exactly material enough to cause concern, and since you have already notified them, you have nothing to worry about. Relax and enjoy the evening!

Sell them before coming. you can pick up used electronics here relatively inexpensively. The hassles of using voltage converters just isn't worth it.

No.

Why would you lie when you are allowed to bring the products in legally? It makes no sense at all.

Perhaps, but it needed to be declared in 2014, 2015 and in 2016 as well.

Your accountant gave you bad advice. You have to declare all foreign properties and assets that are worth over $100k on your tax returns. When you sell your property, you will have to pay capital gains on the difference between the sale price and the value of the property when you first moved...

Lorne Park and Mineola West are two of the more affluent neighborhoods in Mississauga with goods schools.

No, you can transfer as much money as you want and it will not be taxed.

Yes, that is what I meant. However, what I proposed was trying to see if your boss would accept your resignation, but have it effective in 3 months rather than 2 weeks. That way you can keep earning a salary until its time to move. Another friend who was sponsoring his wife while residing in...

I've seen this before with Middle Eastern spousal sponsorship applications. The Canadian embassy wants firm proof that you intend to relocate to Canada once the sponsorship is approved, and therefore are asking for your resignation. There is no way around this. Perhaps you could speak with...

did you work or earn any income in Canada during the first half of 2016 before you left? If so, you must file as a resident for that portion and indicate the date that you left Canada.

No, you are not obligated to file or pay any taxes until you move to Canada to live.

It doesn't sound like your wife did anything wrong. The only qualification is that if she applies for citizenship and goes "back home" right away, she will be in violation of the Intent to Reside clause which could preclude her application from being approved.
