Hi, I am currently living in Canada as a PR and working for a Canadian company. I am applying for my first B1/B2 US visa to attend work meetings in the US. Since all appointments are now being scheduled for 2023, do I have any options to apply for an interview waiver ? My previous H1-B...

Would it be possible to provide a non-Canadian address while filing for Canadian Citizenship ?

India to London (Heathrow) is allowed with a PCR test from India as long as you plan on airside transit. Before you can board your flight for next leg of the journey, you will have to check entry/transit rules. Currently, entry to Canada requires a PCR from a 3rd country so you will have to...

Airside transit means that you don't enter UK or clear immigration. I reached out to British Airways to clarify and they don't have a problem with passengers transiting airside. The problem lies with Canada entry requirements - PCR tests from India are not currently permitted. According to the...

I worked remotely for ~12 months in a similar situation. There are several threads about people doing this and/or residing in Canada and commuting frequently. I filed taxes through a professional firm specializing in cross-border taxes in Canada. Filed as resident of Canada and non-resident of...

Thanks. I have considered that option and I am trying to find out if I can use my Canadian address and not worry about KYC challenges down the line. Just trying to find out if any US banks would permit account opening with US SSN and Canadian address.

I need a US account to set up direct deposit for my tax refunds (IRS). Are there any US banks that will let me open a bank account as a non-resident ? My existing bank in the US is HSBC and they are winding down operations in the US and may close my account soon. I moved to Canada from USA and...

Thank you, harirajmohan and samincanada. That's very helpful.

I can wait until the appointments open up. The vaccine rollout may open up additional capacity in the future. While I wait for the appointments to open up, I am trying to find out what process I can start with; I-140 through H1-B is for dual intent while B-1 is not. I am trying to find out if my...

I am currently residing in Canada with a PR and have an approved I-140 that my company did not cancel when I moved to Canada through an internal transfer. Can I apply for a B-1 visitors visa with an approved I-140 or should I ask my company to withdraw the GC application ? Does anyone have...

Thank you for your responses. I was worried that my cross-border paper tax form was lost (after being delivered by UPS) since it does not show up on "where is my refund" webpage. But it now looks like there are several cross-border tax returns that have not bee processed.

Thanks for your response. I mentioned paper filing since the tax professionals I hired mentioned that non-resident filings can only be done through a paper filing. My paper filing for the state refund was processed already.

Did they at least show that the paper filing was received ? My tax filing does not show up as received even after 8 weeks. I am worried about if it was lost after being delivered. I have a delivery receipt from UPS.

I want to check if anyone has experience with delays in US federal tax processing/refunds for paper based filings ? I filed my taxes about 8 weeks back but don't see an update on the IRS "Where is my refund site". I know that there have been processing delays due to COVID for paper filings and...

I was working remotely in Canada for 6 months and then applied for an extension through the work legal team. I did not visit US at all when the renewal was started and being processed (COVID lockdown).

My H1 extension was approved while I was in Canada (2020). The processing times were normal. I worked remotely from Canada and got paid in USD.

I am filing my US Taxes forms from Canada and have to mail in the completed tax documents to the IRS. For folks that have done it previously, what mailing service have you used (UPS/FedEx or Canada Post)? I am also trying to figure out the address I should use since IRS considers UPS/FedEx as...

1. As an H1B residing and working from Canada, do you provide your Canadian address to your US employer? I am trying to understand the steps to follow since this determines taxes on W-2. 2. Thank you for the clarification

I will find out if my employer is just willing to update my address to the Canadian address and keep me on US payroll on H1B. When you mention "pay taxes in both countries" - would this still be needed if my home address is changed to Canada (Tax residency guidelines state 183 days residency for...

A slightly different question- Is it more expensive for companies to switch an employee to the Canadian payroll from a US payroll? My company told me *they* have to pay higher taxes for me and increases the employee cost. My company has offices in both countries. I have a H1B and have a...
