OK, some people cheat the system. That's always been the case. My comment was more about the political insensitivity of asking about post-oath residency intentions given the recent debates. One has to ask if such a question is even material anymore given the elimination of the intent to reside...

While it may be the case that the officer is using some kind of investigatory technique to glean insight into an applicant's credibility by asking about residential intentions after citizenship, in the light of recent political history about this issue, I am not sure it is a question they should...

How old is he? Is he a competent adult? His grandmother has no business holding onto his personal documents. He should be responsible for renewing his own PR card. If his grandmother won't cooperate with him, he might want to consider getting the authorities involved.

Everything you said is still violating the law. Whether or not they want to enforce it or not and to what extent they follow through on possible punishments if they do, I can't comment on, but that doesn't change the fact that such conduct is still illegal. It could also cause an insurance...

How far are you willing to live from downtown Toronto?

Asking this question without some idea of your budget, commute tolerance, etc. is rather pointless. Do people understand how expensive it is to live in the GTA today? At least its not Vancouver, I guess.

Just taking them with you out of the country to use as resident elsewhere constitutes the export. You should look into what works best for your situation. Your wife will have to present her accompanying goods form when she lands; you might be able to do it a little later when you actually take...

If you have become a Canadian resident, you need to get a Canadian license within the time limits of the province you are residing in. If you live in Quebec now, get a Quebec license. You don't say how long you lived in Ontario, but your Romanian license probably became invalid if you violated...

If you exported goods from Canada when you became a resident elsewhere, you have to import them when you return. They should go on the form as settler's effects. There shouldn't be any duty or tax as you are a returning resident (assuming you were away for a year or more).

You will be exposed to French-Canadian culture in Manitoba. Winnipeg is the largest French-speaking city in North America outside of Quebec. There are numerous smaller towns that are predominantly French speaking, even if most Franco-Manitobans are thoroughly bilingual and there is no pressure...

You'll have to check Ontario laws closely, but probably not. Its generally not legal to have more than one license at a time and since you are now an Ontario resident, you probably are required by law to be licensed and insured in Ontario. You have probably submitted yourself to Ontario's...

He gave up after 3 months? That seems a little soon.

No, it usually doesn't go that way. but its not like it couldn't happen. Not paying your debt might not be a criminal offense, but thumbing your nose at the court system could be. You are right that there are many steps that have to be taken before it gets to this point and it usually isn't...

Have you made any false representations to Canadian authorities about your illegal residence in the USA? If you haven't, don't start now.

Here is what could happen to you if you skip out on your credit card debt in Canada: They will turn you over to a collection agency. Eventually, they might get tired of trying to find you and sue you in Canadian court. Because they can't find you, they get a default judgement against you, the...

I would totally ignore the suggestion not to order your travel records directly from CBSA for yourself--even if you give IRCC permission to get them directly. Don't you want to know what IRCC is looking at? What if there is a mistake? If everyone applying for citizenship orderded their own...

Yes, every winter! And then it passes. ;)

"Affordable" apartments? Maybe Hamilton? People's definition of affordable varies. What is your budget?

Generally speaking, US CBP know what a Canadian COPR is, but again, its hard to predict what a particular officer knows or will do in any given situation. But if you have status in the US, why would you need to convince them you aren't staying? Are you going to Canada for a job interview? Could...

1.) Not enough info in your question. What do you want to convince US CBP of exactly? What is your status in the US? Nobody can predict what a customs/immigration officer will do in any individual case. 2.) Its legally OK to take a cab to Toronto, but your wallet might object! 3.) Hard to say...
