The easiest way would probably be to avoid calling it a shop. a shop that isn't open is simply a building.

Which province is she in? Does she intend to live in Canada after the delivery? Most provinces require you to live there for 3 months before coverage starts, and virtually all require you to live in the province for 6/12 months in a year. If she doesn't intend to permanently reside in...

No, gifts are not taxed in Canada

Yes, that's correct. Although you may have to explain how you have a shop that doesn't produce any income at all.

There are definitely government-funded clinics that provide vaccinations for free. Start here: https://www.phdapps.health.gov.on.ca/PHULocator/

Oakville is nice, but it's very far. The same trains that run to Oakville also service all the other towns along the route, including Mississauga, Etobicoke, etc. As mentioned earlier, not all schools are good in Oakville, and similarly, there are plenty of good (or better) schools in other...

Out of curiosity, if you don't have any need to be close to downtown, then why live in Toronto at all? You could move an hour west to Kitchener/Waterloo/Guelph, etc. and save a fortune on rent, with a much great community feel.

You are not forced to hire lawyers or accountants, and most people can easily prepare and file their taxes without assistance. If you require assistance, then you may need to hire a professional. That's your call and not the government's. If you have assets worth over $100k outside of Canada...

Asking for the "best" neighborhood without providing any indication of your affordability level is not going to be very helpful. The best neighborhoods are the Bridle Path, Forest Hill, Rosedale, etc. but prices are well into the tens of millions for houses there. With regard to the three...

The housing market has been purely driven by irrational speculation by both foreign investors and local Canadians that went mad with low interest rates. Now that rates are rising, and curbs have been implemented against foreign buyers, you can expect a lot of pain and for prices to continue to...

Toronto is a big city. If you live in the suburbs, then you will more than likely need a car. If you live downtown, you don't really need one. The cost of maintenance is comparable to the US, but the insurance costs are much, much higher.

The fees are a % of the amount you invest on an annual basis, regardless of performance

I agree with this. As a non-resident with a property that is rented out in Canada, you had an obligation to remit 25% of the rent on a monthly basis to the CRA, and then file your taxes at year end to see if you were eligible to receive anything back. Having not done that, I would encourage...

You mean mutual funds through RBC? Or RBC managed funds? Either way, the fees associates with mutual funds are very high, and you may be better served looking at ETF's.

Your situation is far from complicated...it's actually quite simple. As neither you nor your child were living in Canada, you are not eligible for benefits. That's it.

Based on this, you have to file your tax return for the time you were away. And no, you do not qualify for UCCB as you were not in the country and neither was your child.

What is the value of the property? If it is over $100,000, then you should have filed it in your income tax returns. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to bring those funds to Canada.

I haven't seen any specific stats, but I have seen a number of venture capital firms boasting about how they have effectively leveraged the SU visa to attract companies. If there's no government data, perhaps there is some data published by individual organizations that sponsor companies?
