    Home near lake

    Hmm...I was out in St. Johns last summer looking at places like this, and they were for around $1 million. A similar place in Ontario would run you 3x that.

    Home near lake

    Very inexpensive if you are looking for something around Newfoundland or PEI. Very expensive if you are looking at BC or Ontario. Again, Canada is a big place and you have to be more specific if you actually want a real answer.

    PR expired - residency obligation not met

    No, you missed your window for the appeal (trying to appeal 10 years after the fact is hardly reasonable), and it doesn't sound like you have any grounds for a H&C case. Your best bet would be to apply again.

    Cellular Data Plans

    It depends on the phone itself, and the supported frequencies. Most Middle Eastern phones work in Canada without problems, but phones from certain other Asian countries (e.g., China) are more problematic as they employ bands of the spectrum that are not used in North America.

    Is pictures of goods to follow absolutely neccessary in BSF 186A

    You don't need to provide pictures if you don't have them. However, you may face some issues down the line when you travel. For example, if you are bringing a necklace with you, and have a picture that will be stamped upon your landing, then you can freely travel back outside of Canada with...

    Cellular Data Plans

    Firstly, there are no 2 year contracts any longer. You are only bound by a term if you purchase a subsidized phone, and even then you can cancel at any time and pay off the balance. Secondly, no one is using 3G speeds unless you go with one of the deep discount brands, in which case that is...

    Crossing the Border with NON Nexus Passengers

    No, there is no difference for Nexus holders that use the regular lanes, and you could be subject to the same questions as anyone else. The fact that you hold a Nexus will generally make the process easier, but you are still treated like anyone else.

    own a business in Canada

    It depends on the industry. There is no requirement to open a company ($1 of capital is all that is needed), but to start a business in a regulated industry could require some licenses, authorizations or approvals.

    What does interest rate mean? Purchase or Limit

    You will pay interest on the total amount you have borrowed on the credit card by the end of the month. So, for example, if you spend $10 on coffee each day during the month, you will get a bill for $300 at month's end. If you don't pay the bill in full, you will be charged interest on the...

    Feeling Overwhelmed. How do you do it?

    Take it one day at a time. Make a list of things that need to be done before you leave, and then focus on crossing them off one by one. don't worry too much about things you'll have to do once you reach Canada, as all of those are beyond your control at present. By breaking tasks down into...

    There are no fixed requirements. As a PR, your best bet would be the BDC which offers loans of up to $250k for entrepreneurs.

    Having PR from both Canada and Australia

    You don't have to "feel" and "experience" the cold to know that -20 degrees is VERY cold. It blows my mind how little research people do on Canada before moving. If you are going to uproot your family, change your life, etc., at least have the sense to learn about where you are going. In this...

    does applying to you sin paper, affect whether youre a tax resident or not ?

    You do not have to own property for it to be a primary tie. Normal people wouldn't rent a place if they weren't living in it. Therefore, since they or their family are most likely living in the rented property, they have clear ties to Canada and would probably be considered to be residents.

    If you are renting an apartment in Canada, chances are you or your immediate family is living in said apartment, which would be a clear primary tie.
