You can carry more than $10k cash, just be sure to declare it.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/immigration-hussen-medical-inadmissibility-1.4537076 This will probably come as welcome news to many, though for many more perhaps too late.

Work experience in Canada counts towards CEC. It sounds like your work experience started in May 2017.

You will be better off getting 1 year of work experience in Canada, then applying for PR.

This is good advice. Coming to Canada first as a student can have advantages because you get extra points for having a Canadian degree/diploma. International tuition might offset that advantage, but its worth considering. You don’t necessarily need $25k in the bank, I showed the financial...

There is an important difference between reporting accounts that exceed $100k and reporting income on world wide accounts. The OP is asking about the latter, and the answer is that if you are a tax resident of Canada, then you must report and pay taxes on your world wide income, including...

This is not exactly true and misleading in the context of this thread. You are considered a tax resident of Canada if you live in Canada for 183 days or more, but this fact alone does not mean you need to file a tax return...

You do not need to mention your move from UAE to Canada. IRCC requires PCC for countries where you lived 6 months or more and this is the reason why trips to-from country of origin or residence (or Canada) are not important. They want to know which other countries you have visited as those could...

You should apply for PR together if your scores are competitive. Spousal sponsorship can be expensive and take longer. The work permit application has no bearing on applying for PR if you are eligible. We could probably be more helpful if you described in more detail your “some reasons” for...

Debt does not make you inadmissible. The POF is meant to show IRCC that you can support yourself and any accompanying dependents to Canada in the coming months (rent, utilities, food, etc).

When in doubt, get the PCC!

Did you enter your daughter as a non-accompanying dependent? It probably has nothing to do with citizenship and is likely another option that you ticked. You can also raise the issue directly with IRCC through a CSE.

You need to enter your language scores and test date prior to entering the EE pool. Since you cannot enter a date in the future and you probably cannot guess your actual scores, you cannot enter the pool as a candidate and get an ITA before the language test.

Tax filing history refers the 3 or 5 years prior to your application that you filed income tax returns. They are likely not interested in the actual date you filed those returns, but that you filed returns for those years.

In this case, because you were a contractor, it was not critical that you have a SIN at the time you worked. What is more important is that you were authorized to work in Canada at the time of the contract. You will still need a SIN to file your tax return.

The logic is that it is fair. Firstly, it prevents two married people from claiming the GST/HST credit as individuals. Secondly, the GST/HST credit is a progressive tax credit that is meant to be targeted at low income households. You were never entitled to receive (as much of) the credit...

I was referring to the query of the other person who has Canadian children. You are required to report your family in your application, so if you have a parent, sibling or child that has lived or does live in Canada, then you need to provide proof of their status in Canada regardless whether or...

Provide the birth certificate.

Some banks will not open trading accounts for temporary residents with SINs beginning with “9”. You can trade US stocks from Canada, but your dividends and earnings will be cut down by a 15% withholding tax, which you cannot recover if you are a non-US person.

No, but you should prove that the money is yours through 6 mos of bank account statements.
