I agree that such amendments would be a great compromise for both sides. It retains the "teeth" of the deal while providing a suitable avenue for people to defend themselves as needed. I also think its encouraging for Canada as a whole that the Senate sees its role evolving from a forum to...

If a person landed and then never left Canada, they could apply for citizenship 4 years after the date of landing.

It is too late now to bring in these goods on a tax-exempt basis. You would have to declare them once you return to Canada, and then pay the applicable duties.

As opposed to your posts whining about how you have to live in Canada for an extra year to become a citizen?

There is no way to extend the period that you can stay outside. You could breach your residency obligation and then try to apply under H&C grounds, but your case doesn't sound very strong.

Re: Working outside Canada (for a foreign company); does the period count for citiz? It requires physical presence (i.e., you must be living in Canada). You can work for whomever you want, or not even work for that matter. So long as you are living here, you will be a tax resident and you...

Your answer shows that you don't really understand the argument or the law as it stands. No one is saying that terrorists should be set free. Rather, the point is that they should serve their punishment, and once completed, they should be deported to their home country. Or, they should be...

You are naive to think that the CBSA report shared with you is all the information that the IO will have access to. The U.S. and Canada have been sharing border crossing information for quite some time, and CBSA officials have significantly more information at their fingertips than you would think.

Unfortunately polls, as inaccurate as they are, are really all we have to go on between elections. I am not sure what Trudeau's approval rating really is, but I do know it's naive to think that the Cons are never coming back (as the OP implied). Canada, like most other democratic countries...

if you believe this, you haven't been in Canada long enough yet. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-politics-idUSKBN1452BV

Yes, you must contact CRA before leaving and they will stop your benefit payments. Once you return, you are eligible to receive them again. you may not receive the payment right away, but they will apply it retroactively so that your first payment will include the time since you returned to...

You certainly can travel for work and still be eligible, and many, many people do. You just have to ensure that you comply with the law. You made a mistake in your calculations and I'm not sure why you are blaming the government for that.

You can, but I believe you can only go back 18 months.

And yet you are still here. Did you ever stop and think that perhaps the reason that they focus on certain nationalities is due to increased fraud committed by said nationalities in the past? Or that the reason they are suspect of U.A.E. residents is becuase tools like E-gate cards, which most...

Your husband was not under any obligation to file income taxes (so long as he had no Canadian income). I would indicate that he was residing overseas on the PRTD application form and you shouldn't have any issues.

It can range anywhere from $50 to $500, depending on how complicated your personal return is.

Your best bet are either Bell or Telus (or their sub-brands like Koodo). They have the best network and you should easily be able to find a plan for around $50 per month with unlimited talk/text and 2GB of data. Rogers/Fido wouldn't be bad either.

It doesn't matter what visa you are on. The chances of your success depend solely on your individual situation. If you are a real refugee and are facing evidenced persecution, your chances are high.

Really? And who exactly provides this insurance? Having worked at banks for over 2 decades, I have never seen such blanket insurance, particularly in the unsophisticated Middle Eastern markets. Banks can reduce their credit risk by securitizing assets or purchasing CDS-type securities against...

While this is true, all banks take a cheque as security when extending you a loan (even credit cards). So, if you don't pay the debt, they attempt to cash the cheque and when it bounces, they have the grounds to file a criminal case against you. There is absolutely no rule that says that banks...
