Salut Gaelle, Je vous conseille d'etre toujours honnete avec l'agent d'immigration. Il faut simplement lui expliquer que vous avez acheté des billets a-r pour rendre votre vie plus facile et pour voyager ensemble. Si vous etes d'un pays dispensé d'un visa, vous pouvez normalement rester...

Go commando, troll.

Sorry, but how do you know you want to be a "true" Canadian if you have never even been here? Could you tell me what a "true" Canadian is? I would seriously start by reading everything you can about Canada, Canadian history and Canadian government and spend some time here first. I'm originally...

Personally, I think having additional proof of one's status if needed outweighs the convenience of a thinner passport. Also, if the PR card is ever lost, the papers may be needed for citizenship. Just my $.02.

Marry for love and forget arranged marriages. Marrying cousins corrupts the gene pool.

Hello, I really am not sure there is any way around the problem. When I have crossed the border in the past, they have asked me how long I have been out of the country. If they ask this, you have no choice but to be truthful. There have been other times, though, when they simply ask the purpose...

Hello, Not for spousal sponsorship. For spousal sponsorship, they don't look at your langauge skills, the money you are bringing or your work experience. The excessive demand requirement on health services is also waived. Spousal sponsorship is a whole different ball game than the skilled...

Hello, This will have no bearing on PR status. If either governement looked at anyone's income, it would be the Canadian government looking at your husband's. But even that will not be a problem, as spouses do not have to meet the low income cut-off threshold. I would be more concerned about...

Hello, In general, you only need to declare world wide income if you have residential ties to Canada. You can find out more here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/nnrsdnts/ndvdls/nwcmr-eng.html#b. Also, see here for more information on who needs to file a return...

Hello, You should be able to do a wire transfer to your Cdn bank account. You can read here about what is required to send a wire to another bank from Canada. The requirements should be similar for wires coming from abroad to Canada: http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/fcs/wiretransfers.jsp. To my...

Hello, I am from the US, too, and often visit the US on trips. There is no need to remove the confirmation of PR in your passport. When crossing into the US, the border agents often ask me what I was doing in Canada and I respond that I live here. They then ask what my status is in Canada. If...

Hello, There is always and advantage for speaking both official languages: http://www.bilingualrecruiters.com/index.php

Hi, My advice is to speak to your lender. Normally lenders allow a lot of latitude in terms of repayment, deferment etc. Just do not default on them. That will affect your credit and your ability to buy a house etc. In the US, the government offers an income contingent repayment plan, where you...

Hello Again, Have you worked in Canada all year (2009)? If so, you will only need to file a federal, not a state. Also, make sure the version of TurboTax you downloaded can handle foreign income. Sometimes the software companies release different versions that can handle returns of varying...

Hello, I have the same issue. I am just going to take a trip to the US in the next couple of weeks to buy the software at Walmart. Something like TurboTax should work just fine. It will allow you to file the return online. Cdn software will not work for the US return and vice versa. I filed my...

Hi Toby, If I could rate your answer a +100 for open-mindedness, honesty and common sense, I would do so. We owe it to ourselves as Canadians to speak out with such honesty. That is what our democracy is all about. Even if your ratings plummet, who cares, if you have spoken the truth? You...

Hi Toby, Just curious what your research has revealed so far....

Hello, She still needs to file her own tax return.

Yes, you can bring your ethnic instruments but please know that if they are visible minorities, they may face racism here in Canada from white Anglo-Saxon Protestant instruments. ....all kidding aside....I actually have no clue.
