It depends on whether its requested for consular processing or not. If its consular processing then no complication but given that mostly here are from India, getting into filing 485 itself is hell and it takes few years to get the card (no one knows how long it will take as its no certain...

Technically you are staying in the country in the weekend. The cic officer cares about the physical precense calculator which shows the number of days qualified, not the hours spent on each day. Many work in US during week days and come back for weekend. You are not going to do something new...

It wont matter when you have higher tax bracket in Canadian side. So if you pay/dont pay at US side, you end up paying the difference at Canadian side - Doesnt matter if the income is from employment or investments.

Countries are moving away from stamping during entry into the port. You need to start logging in your excel sheet everyday or get entry-exit records from cbp after you accumulated enough. No entry stamp cannot be your show stopper. Important is to accumulate residency and it doesnt need heavy...

Correct - No change in taxes while i was in US and while commuting.

My company kept payroll address as Canadian. Also for years while filing IRS, H1 extension, 3 times visa stamp application - every application had current address as Canadian.

I think that nowadays CRA doesnt ask but you can still keep the state transcripts ready along with irs account transcript to avoid any delay if and when they ask. State transcript is not available for Michigan but they give copy of tax return with some michigan seal. So your state might or might...

In the last 2 years they are asking same documents which we sent earlier hence started to avoid sending anything on paper. So i am uploading them whenever there is a request for additional docs. Sometimes they will end up asking second time same 1-2 docs which we submitted earlier. So still i...

Any passport along with Canadian Citizenship Certificate is the only thing required to travel to Canada as a citizen via road. Which means, someone needs to courier the certificate from Canada to you so that you can travel back to Canada...

Its total value 10k+. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/ttd-vdd-eng.html Regularly worn jewelry are not needed to be declared but they would expect gold bars to be declared. Unless you are moving permanently, you shouldn't be travelling with gold bars, instead keep it safe deposit in the...

cbsa/border guys just simply interested in the physical times which you bring it along with you that have monetary value which they can physically see and put a value to it and verify it. No one ever asked till now. So just simply declare the items that you carry such as goods and cash. crypto...

I meant "citizenship certificate + current passport " that we need to show the citizenship certificate along with current passport to enter via road. You dont need Canadian passport if you go via road. Few times i traveled without Canadian passport. 7 to 21 days. You dont need to be inside...

Move to US in 2021. Attended oath in May2022 by traveling to Canada and returned back in few days. Waited for my friend to send the certificate to US. Went to Canada in June to apply for my family members passports in Windsor. They said they cant allow me to pick up passports without bringing...

By car with citizenship certificate + current passport. We cant go by plane/bus.

I797 is not tied to passport number/country. Passport is just used as identity document at uscis. They didnt ask for old passport. But just carry old passport but present only your canadian passport along with I797 and then wait for what they ask for more. There was no difference as process is...

Nothing to be done. You can get new I94 by presenting Canadian passport whenever you reenter the country next time. if you are extending while inside US then start using new passport. Nothing to be done now as its not necessary to do anything on I94 immediately till situation comes for uscis...

I am not sure what concerns you are referring to but i dont see a problem. Usually its a little problem for Canadian resident whoever moved shortly to Canada and applying for B visa(to prove their eligibility on quick travel immediately after moving) but no issues on H1.

I assume you would do mail in request. section3: thinking it would be current record and first issue date. (canada needs to know from when the DL was issued to calculate/validate your number of years experience via this record from dmv rather than trusting the actual license) section4: not...

Courier from anywhere. Thats the risk of traveling for stamping which cant avoid after traveling out of US (doesnt matter if stamping is at resident/passport country or not). It all depends on the employer after that point how long they can hold the offer.

Sending documents for drop box is same as appearing for interview which is nothing but applied for visa(but pending decision). I am sure there will be log in the system as applied for visa(even if ds160 is not marked as processing). So i wouldnt risk crossing the border. Thats why one should...
