harirajmohan, you mentioned that both sides record exit/entry. My experience in my previous visit by road was different. First of all would like to confirm that the travel that you mentioned about was by road, right? When I went last time to Canada, I never faced US Border officials while...

I am a Canadian permanent resident and currently in the US on H1-B Visa. I plan to go to Canada for less than 30 days. My H1-B Visa stamp in my passport has expired, but have a valid I-797, so was thinking to use the automatic visa re-validation feature to re-enter USA. My intention to go to...

Thank you CDNPR2014. Do they stamp passport while entering? I am asking because if they don't then what proof do I have to show i was in Canada? Do they accept hotel, restaurant receipts etc? Most probably go by road so that I can use the visa automatic re-validation feature to enter US back...

Considering moving to Canada from the USA. One of the factors to help this decision is the education system in Canada. My kid is 2 years of age. Online I read that the Canadian education system is better than US education system. Is this true? Plan to move to Alberta as I am nominated by that...

After landing in Canada as a landed immigrant, are the days spent in Canada before leaving the country counted towards the 2 year stay in Canada in the 5 year period rule to maintain the PR status? Also, any days spent in Canada within the 3 years (period one can stay outside the country in a...

Very glad to see this thread on moving to Canada on H1B. I need some guidance. My wife and I became landed immigrants in Canada in April 2014, so have until April 2017 to move to Canada and settle as permanent residents. Both, my wife and I are Indian citizens on H1-B visa in the USA. Both of...

Also, suppose I don't transfer all the funds from my US bank, will that balance in the US have any tax implications in Canada?

Thanks scylla. Will let my friend know.

This question I am asking for a friend of mine, who is interested to immigrate to Canada. He is currently in the US. Under the current immigration rules, is a job offer necessary to be able to be considered for Permanent Residency in Canada as a skilled worker? If there is any program (either at...

How is a resident of Canada defined for tax pusposes? I mean is it considered the time I open a Canadian bank account etc? The reason I ask is before I fully move into Canada, suppose I visit Canada to attend a job interview (before I sell my house) and return to US to windup, would this entry...

Thank you so much canuck_in_uk

Great. Thank you so much Andynd1uk.

So once I am in Canada, I should return to America (perhaps on a visitor visa) to do the bank transfer? Also, the funds (which I would be transferring to my Canadian bank account) in the US American bank that I will be declaring to the CBSA officer during my move, would it be considered tax...

My wife and I became Canadian PRs in 2014, and then returned to US. We have till early 2017 to move to Canada to maintain our residency. Realize time is short and in this short time will need to sell house in US and start moving. We have no bank account in Canada as of now. Can someone give me...

We became landed immigrants to Canada on 2014 and then returned back to US. In 2015 we were blessed with a child in the US, becoming a US Citizen. We have time until 2017 to move into Canada to maintain our PR status and then stay there for 2 years. I know my kid (almost 2 years now) can enter...

I became a Canadian landed immigrant in early 2014, but after that came back to the US. My 3 out of 5 year stay in Canada expires early 2017. After Trump won the US election I noticed a large group of Americans are wanting to get into Canada. Wondering if I move to Canada early 2017 (when I...

I have a Canadian PR card, but currently working in the USA. If I need to move to Canada, it is an absolute must that I should time my move such that I strictly meet the criteria of staying in Canada for 2 years in a 5 year period, OR can I move into Canada as long as my PR card is not expired...

Sorry made a mistake in my initial post. If moving to Canada in May 31st, 2016 (and assuming living there for rest of the year), the person would actually considered a resident for tax returns from a CRA perspective. Even with this being the case you are saying that any world wide income outside...

So suppose the person was moving into Canada in May 31, 2016 (where he would be non-resident from CRA tax perspective as staying in Canada for more than 183 days in a year). Then also the same rules apply i.e. until May 31, 2016, you only report and pay Canadian taxes on the parts that are from...
