    Physical Presence Temporary Residence

    Thanks for the detailed response. I was under the impression that the TR status would be granted up to 6 months for each entry, and since I travelled to Canada quite often (every other week basically) for the two years prior to getting PR status, I was thinking to have a single entry of TR...

    Travel History request via Privacy Act

    Right, but I'm not yet applying for the Canadian Citizenship, I'm first trying to find out the correct number of days I have in Canada (I know it's going to be approximately in 6 months). Anyway, I went ahead and tried to request one under the Privacy Act.

    Travel History request via Privacy Act

    Right, but wouldn't it be the same to request it from the Canadian side via the Privacy Act? My only concern on getting it from the US side, is in case there is a discrepancy in the entries counted from the Canadian side (unlikely, but just to be sure).

    Capital gains on Canada/US

    Thanks, yes that is my understanding as well however reading this article https://fullerllp.com/blog/tax-trap-for-us-green-card-holders-resident-in-canada-with-us-investment-income/ kind of confused me, specifically this part: In my case the RSUs awarded are from a US company and were awarded...
