    Hi, I will move from the UK to the province of Quebec soon and I would like to know if it is possible to simply swap my UK driving licence with the Quebec licence without having to do any test? Apart from this, my plan is: - get an international driving licence at the UK post office 1 week...

    When do I become tax resident of Canada?

    Not planning to work in Canada while I am a visitor, I will resign from my UK job before leaving the UK in June '23 and will take a career break until I get PR (or OWP). My only income while being in Canada as a visitor will be some very small bank account interest income in the UK (<$200). Why...

    When do I become tax resident of Canada?

    Hi, So, I am planning to enter as visitor in June, apply for SS, maybe get an OWP by October and say I become PR in Jan 2024. If I become PR in Jan 2024, do I still need to submit a tax return for 2023? In 2023 I will have UK income (prior to moving to Canada, Quebec) and some very small...

    【INLAND】 Spousal Sponsorship *2023*

    Does the receipt of AOR mean that the submitted information is complete (i.e. the application won't be returned) or just means that IRCC has received the application, but may still return it?

    Would my PCC expire?

    From this link it seems there is a requirement, but it applies to express entry applications. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence/police-certificates.html I can't find anything stating the same for spousal...

    Would my PCC expire?

    Thanks. Also, I have been living in UK since 2016 and will move out in June when I will then enter Canada as visitor to apply for Inland SS. Do you know if I can get the UK police certificate before leaving the UK (say in May), or do I need to obtain it after I have left the UK?

    Would my PCC expire?

    I am applying in June, not now. But I am in Italy now so it would be easy for me to get one now.

    Would my PCC expire?

    I lived in Italy until 2016, then lived abroad. I spent the last 4 months in Italy (as a turist/non-resident), I will leave the country in Feb and will likely spend another 1 week in Italy in May before moving to Canada in June and apply for Inland SS. Based on this, if I get my PCC this week...

    Spouse or common-law in Canada class or Family class outside Canada class

    I think is a lot less of an issue for you to travel, but how long are you planning to be outside Canada and how often? I am not 100% sure, so others more expert than me will correct me if wrong. The logic I would use is: if you go outland with the sponsor (you) living in Canada, then you must...

    Spouse or common-law in Canada class or Family class outside Canada class

    She can travel outside Canada briefly during the inland app. But the risk is more when she tries to re-enter as there is no guarantee that the border officer will let her in unless she has proof of ties to the US. Having a OWP does not guarantee she will be allowed to re-entry too. I think the...

    Hi, My partner is Canadian citizen who has been living abroad for many years. Next year she will move back permanently to Canada. Does my wife need to declare at the border she is moving back permanently? I believe she does if she wants to declare the goods she is bringing in? In reality we...
