    Got COPR! Landing questions and vehicle concerns

    A couple of questions (landing in Ontario) If a vehicle is purchased in the US and has been in your possession for more than 6 months no GST+HST? If you receive a temp work permit before getting PR through spousal sponsorship can you bring a car over during that temp work permit timeline? Do...

    Job offer - qualify for NAFTA?

    Thanks computergeek. The company has decided to consult the immigration lawyer they keep on retainer. Hopefully we will have everything clear and neat for NAFTA when I visit in 2 weeks.

    Ok, got it. It's my understanding that a LMO is not needed for a temporary work visa if you're applying through NAFTA but I may be wrong. I'll have to look more into it, in the past I didn't see anything about wages in the NAFTA document. But I wasn't looking at it that closely.

    Hi Amikety, I'm a bit confused. Do I search for the actual position that was offered to me on that website? What does that have to do with a temp work visa? The job was posted on the company's website and on LinkedIn.

    Family Sponsorship and NAFTA Temp Work Visa

    I just posted a note on the Temp Work Visa area but thought perhaps other Americans have gone through the same thing. I've been offered a senior position at a Canadian firm but I'm not quite sure if it qualifies for NAFTA. Please see this thread if you think you could help...

    Americans who have imported a car

    I'm going back and forth on whether or not to import my car from the US to Canada. I've read it is a pain in the bum but it hurts to pay $8k more for a new vehicle (plus higher TTL) than in the US. Those who have imported or who are in the process, can you share your experience?

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    If you are filing separately (as you should) then you don't include his income. I've been filing married separately for years and my spouses income is never included on my taxes. So in your case you will get a return :)

    Medical Exam

    I didn't realize we had to do this so I had two different sets done (in my medicals like hair is straight, in the ones I sent with the application it is wavy). Hopefully that doesn't delay my application. :-[

    YAY! We received Sponsorship Approval today! :D I asked my husband right after I saw the other posts this morning and he was like "I will let you know as soon as it comes in" (aka, stop asking me). That was at 10:30am, he received the email at 11:30am but was in a meeting until now so my...

    Love or Opportunity? Coffee Social

    Parker - thanks for the import info. After hearing your woos and thinking of the mileage on the car now I'm thinking buying something new there (under hubby's credit, since I don't have any) is a better idea.
