This poor woman is desparate to leave the US. (We all are!) She just wants to make sure that her credit history will not affect her immigration process.

My dear friend is currently going through foreclosure in the US. She is trying to sell her house in a short sale. If that does not work she will be foreclosed upon. Will that hurt her chances of getting her PR in Canada? Also will any unpaid debt in the US, such as a possible deficiency...

That is true everywhere, deekra (dearie). The US is no easy patch either. In fact, America right now is one of the hardest countries to immigrate to. And once you are in (IF you can get in, that is), there is no assurance you will make it here. Many are stuck at poverty level while the media...

Have you ever considered getting a CPA?

I don't want to get around it. I want to contribute and wonder how much we will get when we retire. We are about 50 years old.

I don't think it is "country" but "age". After 40 the opportunities dry up fast. Before that age I am sure you can get some sort of job. This is the same the world over. Beware should you be 40 or nearing that age, and especially if you are over 40. It seems that employers would rather hire...

My husband and I are considering moving to Canada from the US. We are originally from India. My question is, if we are to move to Canada will we be eligible to contribute to the national pension plan, and to collect once we retire? What age is the cutoff? Thank you deekras (dearies) for your...

Great to read it, bacha. Hope you do well. SIloo

Did you know that your wife can sponsor you to stay in the US? I understand why you want to leave America (like sitting on the Titanic), but have you ever considered it?

I don't understand. If you are overstay then what difference does it make how you leave Canada? Any way you choose the US immigration dept. will stamp your passport and probably fingerprint you so that you cannot return for 10 years. BTW why doesn't your wife sponsor you to stay in the US...

Yes, deekra (dear), I agree too. The US can be frightening and geloo gado (crazy).

What!? You mean you live in Singapore and want to move to Canada? My husband and I would love to move to Singapore cut can't because getting a visa is too hard. Are you sure you know what you are doing, deekra (dear)?

Bucha (baby), if I were you I would go there first. The last thing you want to do is to immigrate there only to find that you hate it. Nei-re-nei (not at all). Better to got here first.

Good advice. But property taxes in any place with JOBS is sky high here too. We have a small one family house in Edison New Jersey and we pay about USD10,000 in property taxes not counting the upkeep, water, etc. Also real wages are not rising although everything else is. When unemployed, a...

What ship? The Titanic? Tam-e be su! (What are you talking about?!) You made the transition and good for you. My hubby and I want to take ourselves and our kids and go to Canada. We are constatnly thinking about it, especially as we get older. The property taxes here are prohibitive, even...

nei deekra (no dear). You will be able to apply from the States. As long as you were given a visa of one year or more even if you are out of status, it will be ok.

Deekra, get a good lawyer and be prepared to spend big bucks. But in the end you will be the better for it if you really plan to move to Canada. A good lawyer can make a lot of difference. jera gabrat akrat lakse, but it will all be OK. Without a lawyer it can al be gottala ma gos.

It would be interesting to know how many other nationalities living in the US are planning to relocate there. My husband and I are both US citizens but we want to relocate. I am sure many others in the US want to as well.

I'll say. Do take care of yourself. I am surprised not more people are leaving the US of A. All these wars, bad politics, botched up immigration rules, bad deficits, etc. Makes many to wince!

Great but that is what I just said above, deekra! That MMMMM should contact a lawyer.
