I am still way off to be eligible for Canadian citizenship but was just curious about this - I had H1B and left US with 2 years remaining out of 6. My US company withdrew my H1B. Can I still utilize those 2 yrs? Is there a time limit till when it will be preserved?

Thanks @scylla and @canuck78 for your inputs... i was just continuing my research and found this: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents/newcomers-canada-immigrants.html What income do you have to...

Yes.. I did apply for Entry Visa and got a confirmation that for minors, surrender certificate is not applicable. However, I have to highlight two negative experiences: 1. The checklist table did not mention anything about parent's Canadian status and because of that my application was returned...

Hi, I and my wife are Canadian PRs and we had our baby in Canada. We are planning to visit India and stay there for around 6 weeks. We are not applying for OCI right now as the processing time goes beyond our travel dates. Having said that, I am very confused about which visa to apply for my...

Hi - Can you please help me with this info? I checked the IMM5257 form and I dont see any dropdowns. However, in "Details of Visit to Canada" section, I saw two fields - "Purpose of my visit" and "Other". Is this where I need to mention "COVID-19 Exemption"?

No.. I only opened TD account for CAD. In my case I used WesternUnion to transfer USD from my US bank into TD bank as CAD. U can use any such service.

Same here. I opened my bank account in TD while in US by providing SSN and as I had already booked my rental apartment in Toronto, I gave that address. But be aware that lot of banks offer promotions like waiving off monthly maintenance fees, etc... to newcomers but for that you have to be...

It should not matter if the the goods you have declared are with you or is delivered by some shipping company. As long as it is declared, you should be fine. Also, a note about PODS - I used them during my move. They provided a quote which was terribly wrong as later I was charged some few...

You will get the ITN the same day, max 24 hrs. There are lot of websites that will do ITN ranging from $35 to $150 but the one I used worked for me. I believe the actual process remains same but others might offer add-ons like they will drop an email to US CBP with your date of arrival, etc...

Hmm I am not sure then about the PST.. Anyway Good luck and Please do share your experience..

I left the same day actually!! I was traveling back from India.. Mumbai to Kansas City. So took a flight which goes via Toronto. If u did not stay for more than 12 months then u will not be considered as returning settler coz u never established yourself as a "settler" to begin with. While...

It would be helpful if someone can share their experience or point me to a post which describes this.. I am trying gather the same info. So far based on couple of posts.. You can come back after your biometric but will have re-do RTPCR test even if your previous test from India is still valid...

Yes. I got mine with temp license. Along with that presented, Form 1 and safety inspection checklist from Canada Tire

My main concern was getting appointment quickly which I got here - CVS at 2104 S Byrne Rd, Toledo, OH 43614, United States But honestly, you can do anywhere and just a tip which worked for me - in symptoms if you put "Fatigue" then the test is conducted free of cost and the symptoms are not...

Yes.. in fact when I told this to one of my Canadian friends .. they were little surprised as the general image of CBSA is that of being helpful and friendly. So was my case just one off, I don't know, but I had no other option than Detroit.

I was trying to say exactly what @headingnorth has in #3. For me, #5 is remaining as i am yet to setup my auto insurance.

@headingnorth Its just a form that RIV generates once your case is processed. Go here - https://www.riv.ca/TrackYourCase.aspx . Enter your case number, thats the number on the Form 1 and your VIN. Hit Enter and then On top right, you can see the link to download the inspection form. I just had...

I opened my bank account with TD Canada from Kansas. They had a question on their online form and you need to select at least one option to proceed - Are you a tax resident of Canada or USA or any other country. In my case I selected USA and was asked to scan my Indian passport and take a...
