So you think it makes more sense to keep the terrorist here and use taxpayer dollars to "punish" him, and then once he has served his sentence, release him into the community to perhaps try and kill other innocent Canadians? Would you feel safe sending your kids to a school if such a person...

Fair or not, I was correcting your earlier post. I'm tired of people trying to make C6 into a bill that differentiates those born in Canada and those who were naturalized citizens. This is clearly not the case, and people need to stop spreading misinformation. As for the fairness of this law...

Born citizens can have their citizenship revoked under C6 as well.

You can't renew it.

You are correct that property taxes would be $7,000 for the city of Toronto...that said, you would be hard pressed to find a house for $1mm in Toronto itself, and would likely have to look outside of the city where the property taxes are higher. Thus, the $12k estimate. Sales and ads are not...

On what grounds will you be claiming refugee status?

You would pay your corporate tax in the UK. You would also pay personal tax in the UK for any monies distributed by your company to yourself. You would then file a tax return in Canada indicating your earnings from abroad. Based upon the tax treaty between Canada and the UK, you would receive...

No, gifts are not taxed in Canada.

you don't have to file the taxes for the years you were not residing in Canada. Changing your name has nothing to do with your tax filings, and the timing is irrelevant.

There is no set format. Just include statements from your bank account, salary slips, investment accounts, etc. and then reference the total in your cover letter.

The GDP adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (the last link I posted) accounts for the cost of living. So, it is indeed a very good indicator as it would reflect the lifestyle you could afford with the average income. Regardless, your point about the subject of this thread is taken, and this...

The withholding tax is intended to ensure that the CRA collects the monies it is owed. As a non-resident, once you sell your property, the buyer is obligated to withhold 25-50% of the sale price (usually in trust with their lawyers) until the seller produces a CRA certificate stating the amount...
