Hi, I have been reading a lot about Canadians who are refused entry to the United States for various reasons, i.e. a previous criminal conviction or what not. What is it like to live in Canada, but be prohibited from entering the United States? What type of inconvience does this cause? For...

Does CBSA ever conduct inspections of people leaving Canada by land or air? I recently drove into Canada from the states, US CBP had put cones across the road at the border, requiring you to enter U.S. customs and undergo an inspection before entering Canada. I have never had that happen before...

Anyone have any info on tax implications of telecommuting across the border? For example, a US citizen living in Canada, but who telecommutes for a US employer? Is that Canadian source income?

I am wondering if there are going to be any problems driving my car--with the current U.S. registration plates and U.S. insurance--back and forth across the border as I move my things to my new home. It will take some time to get the RIV papers and get the car inspected and registered and I am...

Hello all, I just wanted to relay my experience driving a U.S. plated rental car into Canada as a landed permanent resident, as I know there is some confusion about this. I landed in February, but returned to the U.S. in preparation to move in September. I made a trip up to Canada last weekend...
