I am extremely shocked to know the fee for Bank Draft/Money Order/Certified Checks is at least CAD 7.5, which is roughly 10 times the cost in the U.S.A. A Canada post money order would cost 7.5 with a max amount of 500 A bank draft from Simplli would cost 7.5 Searching online did not avail...

On a different note, tell you something funny. roughly 60% of Canadian students with a Computer science major head south for employment. roughly 33% of ones with EE/CE majors head south for employment. I don't know the number for doctors, must be high as well. Or how about this joke: Andrew...

Canadian credit history can be easily obtained by a global transfer of Amex.No need to build a credit history from ground zero for Americans with a high credit score like 780. Amex transfers the history and reports to Canadian credit agencies. It may take some time like a couple of months, but...

You could have used the global transfer of Amex. No need to build a credit history from ground zero for Americans with high credit score like 780. Amex transfers the history and reports to Canadian credit agencies. I guess it is too late for you to know that. I am sorry.

I found your question impossible to answer. Just to start with 2 point, you did not provide enough information about your situation and asked a very vague question. The best I can do is to give you a vague answer based on the little information you provided. No, it is more likely than not to...

I found that you did not file for any tax to CRA is unusual. However, I do not wish to tread upon such a minefield of tax. You may need to consult a tax professional to understand if you should have but did not file to CRA.

No reason to worry about CCB. CRA pays your benefits retroactively, going up to 11 months in the past. (beyond 11 month is different, I do not wish to discuss it here). the 11 months are counted from the date of your entry.

I would not be so confident. École Polytechnique massacre Air India Flight 182 Toronto van attack Etc Anyway this may be digressing. I am more concerned about petty offense as indicators of effectiveness of law enforcement. Thx for your time.

I was not asking for immigration but for my concern about the effectiveness of the rule of law in Canada. But thank you for your time.

I have a rather difficult question to ask. How diligently do Canadian law enforcement agencies such as local police and RCMP enforce laws upon summary offenses (petty offenses) such as petty theft, stalking, criminal harassment, simple assault, in comparison with the U.S. agencies? I tried to...

Difficulties are always subjective. For some foreigners, they can easily get a PR status of the U.S.A. through EB-1. Even Labor Certification can be waived sometimes by a National Interest Waiver (NIW). This realization should put things in different prospectives and make most if not all of us...

They can easily reach 460 if not slightly higher.

the law must be respected. If you in any way cooperated with the landlord for tax evasion willingly, you would face legal punishment if and when a conviction is issued. North America is a land of the law. Thus understand what you were proposing is not "being nice", but willing cooperation of...

Citi Anywhere Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi No foreign transaction fees However, I hazard the reward for this card can only be cashed in a U.S. Costco warehouse.

We found Canadian credit cards averagely offer very inferior rewards than U.S. ones: I.e., Amex blue cash in the U.S. offer 3% on grocery while the Canadian version offers 1.25%. While in the U.S., 2% is the minimum reward percentage for a moderately savvy consumer, 1% seems to be the...

The Canadian in America: Real-Life Tax and Financial Insights into Moving to and Living in the U.S. by Brian D. Wruk

You really need to pay an expert for this kind of issue. Has anyone had experience paying an exit tax? It is in the tax book of IRS. I came across it while reading the codebook before. You are a tax resident of the USA and would have to pay it if you meet the conditions. [Canada also has an...
