No, you will only be taxed on the incremental amount of "gain" between when you landed in Canada and when your U.S. home was sold.

Your original PR is still valid, so you can't receive another PR on top of that. as a result, you have to renounce the first one to be eligible to apply the second time around.

There is no requirement for her to file her taxes; however, she may be eligible for credits and an eventual refund, so you may wish to do it anyway.

Claiming that the intent to reside provisions drafted by a previous government equates to dictatorship is truly a bit of a stretch. Who exactly would be the dictator in your example...Harper? You'd have to bring him out of retirement first!

Great, now go and listen to the discussions when Bill C24 was in front of Parliament. Then, the Minister clearly stated that the Intent to Reside only applies until citizenship has been granted, and this was repeated on numerous occasions in the press, at speeches and of course during the...

I believe this has already been discussed extensively, and I have provided my opinion on it as well. You can scroll back and review older posts if you wish to do so. And no, I do not believe that I, nor any other Canadian, are second class citizens. Further, given that I have no desire to...

No, the confusion clearly results from your misconstruing the laws. The intent to reside clause applies ONLY until citizenship is granted. At that point, ALL Canadian citizens, whether born or naturalized, are in exactly the same boat. So, after "ticking a box", and becoming a citizen, the...

I'm not sure why this is so complicated...if you aren't living in Canada, you aren't eligible. And if you receive benefits you aren't eligible for, you will need to repay them.

I think you are confusing a few different points. Who exactly are you terming "second class Canadians"? Immigrants certainly aren't "second class" citizens, and enjoy EXACTLY the same rights and privileges as any native born Canadian. Secondly, the Cons did exactly what you suggested and...

I think Canada would be fine, even if they raised the citizenship period to 10 years. Those people who truly wish to make Canada their home will continue to immigrate here. If we lose the people who wish to "earn more money in gulf countries or in the US", so be it. Those people would never...

You can see as many homes as you want with one agent. All the homes are listed on MLS and your one agent can arrange viewings. How would having a second or third agent help in any way?

I don't see the sense in your argument. Should PR's pay less for other government services as well then? Should they be entitled to discounts on renewing their car registration or property taxes since they have less rights than citizens?

Signing this agreement is indeed standard procedure. However, you should be aware that these terms are not fixed, and can be edited if you would like. For example, the standard contract has a ludicrous clause that states that if the seller's agent never pays your broker the commission he is...

They aren't in uniform, but were wearing badges. They were pulling people aside, identifying themselves as representatives of the Canadian government, and asking a variety of questions. I did see them offload a few passengers and detain them for further questioning. According to the website...

The status is clear...the bill is being debated in the Senate.

It should be Canada, since that's where your passport was issued. There should be a previous question about nationality, and you can write "Indian" there.

While the bulk of this article relates to Canadians seeking to enter the U.S., there are a couple of paragraphs towards the end which stipulate some changes to rules for PR's seeking to return to Canada. Under the new rules, CBSA officers who suspect a PR of not meeting their residency...

Yes, but this is still a stark departure from the current system where PR's are automatically allowed to enter Canada, even if they are clearly in breach of their RO. Under the new system, this would only apply to land borders, thereby making entry to Canada much harder for most overseas PR's...

The part related to CBSA officers being able to block Canadian PR's who do not meet their residency obligations from boarding flights to Canada is a HUGE change. Wow.

I agree with you that the definition of terrorism, particularly as employed by various governments, is broad, vague and often biased. However, I didn't address it as it is not the focus of this bill, or this discussion. In the Quebec case, if the shooter is convicted of terrorism, there is...
