    How much money can I bring back to Canada from the US (will be in Canadian funds) without being taxed on it? Is it still anything under 10k? Right now we're estimating about 5-7k in CAD.

    Yeah, it says auto and the lights stay on until the car is shut off? Does that count as DRL?

    Duty/Tax Exemption on Importing Cars for PR Clarification?

    Sorry for all the car questions. I read that if you're including the car in the PR landing, that the car is excempt from taxes etc needing to be paid. However, I'm reading if you're a returning resident that you need to pay tax. The PR that's landing is a first time resident, but the car is in...

    Car Import Question: Auto Lights same as daytime runners?

    Hey, stupid question. Anyone in Ontario that imported a US car with Auto lights as an option, did they consider those good enough as day time runners? Also does Ontario require fog lights on all cars? Just want to know what direction to take once our car is paid off, if it's worth the...

    Exchanging US DL with accident record vs getting new Ontario DL

    Thats called fraud, and if you're caught it could mean much more than just being denied a Canadian DL. I'd just be honest, work with the insurance company to get you the best rate. Maybe talk with your current insurance provider to see what they can possibly do. If you've had a good record for...

    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    Does anyone know if Ontario RIV inspection will consider AUTO lights as day time runners? And do you need fog lights? Or I guess has anyone imported a Mazda CX7 before? Trying to find out if it will just be best to sell the damn thing down here, take the money and buy a new car in Canada.

    spousal sponsorship

    There will be no doubt complications applying again this early in her marriage from her divorce. I would advise that she wait another year or so before applying again, learning from the last refusal.

    GCKey

    Technically, you can both have a GCKey but from what I was told by the CIC, you cannot link the application to the Sponsors GCKey just the PA's. For the record, mostly everything will be on the PA side, except Sponsor approval. After Sponsor approval all updates are on the PA side of things...

    Proof of living together help: Spouse sponsership/permanent residence

    Are you on your 6 month B2? (I think thats what it's called. It's the thing that allows Canadians and Americans to stay in the US or Canada for 6 months as long as you're not working. They should've stamped your passport upon arrival into Canada. The date on it is your expiry). If you are...

    I'm so confused over the importing process. Are you going to import or sell and buy again once you get to Canada? :P

    Proof of living together help: Spouse sponsership/permanent residence

    You could have them add you to their benefits (Life insurance, etc). CIC won't really care how recent if you have enough years/time and evidence of you being together (photos, chats, receipts from visiting one another etc). If you own a car together or share insurance policies, I'd include that...

    US Green-card Question?

    I'm presently a US Green-Card holder living in the US. My application for PR for my spouse has been approved for us to return to Canada. My question is does my US Green-Card get revoked at landing or is it is still valid till it expires? (6 years left on it). I'm asking as I'll be living about...

    Proof of living together help: Spouse sponsership/permanent residence

    That list is pretty to the point, if you're lacking anything though, you can have friends and family locally write letters stating you are living together. If you lack anything besides joint bills, etc, you could include other things that come in the mail like CC offers for example, but it...

    Best Approach

    Getting married would technically be the easiest way, however, not if you're doing it just to get her over the boarder. If you're not ready then take your time. I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but it's worth it in the end. Can she apply for a loan in Mexico to help with her...

You have to click a link that says "View application/documents" on the linked application page, then you should be able to upload from that page, it will ask you to sign off and then send. Also keep in mind, multiple...

    November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)

    I guess I could've done that to my moms, but being we're both in the US, it made more sense to do it this way. UPS was horrible, basically rude to us about it. Said no one could help us and that we would have to forward it to a Canadian address and have a person from Canada send it. It was...
