You're welcome. I don't know for sure, but I know that all outland spousal applications are sent to the same office and then they get distributed to the respective visa office for further processing. I don't think the province of residence influences processing time (excluding Quebec...

I think you should first figure out what it is you want to do (stay in QC, move to SK, move to ON/elsewhere), do it, and then apply based on that. It may take you a couple of months to do it (for the actual move, establishing the proper paper trail, etc) but it will be better than applying...

OP's question is about savings, which aren't taxable. The link you posted is about income, which is -with few exceptions- taxable of course.

Yup. Can confirm (and relate) as something similar happened to me. Oh well. If it's any consolation, Amex isn't as widely accepted in Canada as it is in the US, so you may be better off with one of the big banks' "Newcomers offers" for a Visa/Mastercard credit card.

She actually can use Netfile (e.g, through Simpletax) to file the first tax return as a resident electronically. [Check the faq on simpletax's website, as well as CRA's "eligibility" section: no exclusions for first-time filers]. Creating a CRA My Account can only happen after submitting that...

Just another guess: they may be trying to give you a chance to prove that you have settled (or are in the process of settling) in Canada instead of denying your application (and proceeding to revoke your status) outright. Like everyone here told you, PR renewal is conditional upon fulfilling the...

You are a resident now so don't fill the "non-resident" part on the TD-1. When you file your 2020 taxes next year, there will be questions about the date you became a resident, and some of the deductions and credits will be prorated accordingly.

Honestly your best option for free help would be a family member or a trusted friend who is proficient in English. The forms and instructions are straightforward and easy to follow if your english is ok. Regardless of who's willing to do it, you shouldn't share your (and your child's) personal...

Possibly a Travel History Record from CBSA (listing your entries and exits), photocopy of your passport pages, credit or debit card in-person transactions (even if it's not a Canadian one, as long as it it's your name and the transactions are in Canada), car-registration documents perhaps, etc.

I just found the following on the IRS's website. So unfortunately he is forever on hook until and unless he has an official document that says he has formally abandoned or lost his status. I hope this helps. Sorry for being the bearer of unpleasant news, but hopefully now that he knows he...

Hello. You are right, it is a FATCA requirement which applies to your husband since he is still considered a "US person" because of his LPR (green card) status. While from a US immigration (USCIS) standpoint he may be "deemed" to have abandoned his status by being absent for those 3 years or...

After having your car pass RIV inspection to complete the importation process (they will send you a letter in the mail with a sticker for the car), you then need to have it inspected (and pass obviously) in order to be able to register it in ON. It's called a "Safety" inspection and is usually...

Hello, I am wondering whether inland sponsorship applicants end up receiving a hard-copy COPR in addition to the emailed one that seems to have become the norm during the last few months. Or is it just the electronic one? Thanks!

Congratulations. Do they actually ask you to send in your passport if you’re from a visa-exempt country? Thanks.

Once you actually move to Montreal you would write to IRCC/VO (e.g., using email or the webform) advising them that you moved to Montreal (presumably also changing the residence and mailing addresses they have for you on file), at which point they will most likely ask you for CSQ and put a hold...

If your spouse got their PR with you, i.e. both of you applied for PR in the same application then no.

From an admin point of view, they need to specify deadlines, and it seems they are programmed to give them at 30 days from "today". So I'd wait until a few days before the deadline and send them the justification/status update (possibly the same one as before), after which they will issue you a...

Check this: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/information-been-moved/determining-your-residency-status.html Bottom line: you're fine. Bank account and credit cards are considered "secondary" residential ties and not "significant", so by themselves...

I found the quote below in another thread. It's probably just procedural routine. Hopefully your application will be finalized soon. Good luck :)
