Thank you, this is very helpful. I have a much clearer idea now - guess just need to stay true and honest.

Thank you for the link! It's helpful for an H1B/ CA PR newbie here. But I think this only applies to people without valid H1B visas? But if you have valid H1B then there is not really a limit on how long you can be in Mexico or Canada? Another question is, my US job is based far away from my...

I I wonder where is the source of the 30-day rule? Some people mention it but it seems to be a safe empirical rule but it doesn't really have a legal basis?

My employer is a small firm and doesn't have a Canadian location. In the first six months of this year, I was on a visitor visa to visit my wife here and working remotely. Since this is my first year of getting PR, I will still travel back and forth and move my belongings and attend some...

Another twist to my situation is that - I was a temporary visitor for the first half of the year, and in late June became a PR. I wonder if I can for this year still pay tax as a US resident alien since I still have my home and pay utilities and everything in the US even though my physical...

I became a PR of Canada recently while I was working on H1B for my US employer, I know many people have a similar situation and report tax in the US as a non-resident and report tax in Canada as residents. But I wonder, even though I will spend more time on the Canadian side, can I file tax as a...

Should be. Good luck!!!

Thank you for your insights, we live in Toronto and assume our Cards are processed and made in Etobicoke office, seems like the longest delays were all happening here. There was no specific office name on our eCOPR letter, so I am not very sure which office will be handling it.

My wife applied with me as a dependant last year, she was on a working permit, and I visited to reunite with an immediate family member on my temporary visa last year during Covid. We didn't even think about the outland-inland situation, but seems like IRCC found out themselves that I was inland...

Thank you for your insight. Could you expand a little bit on 'send you to secondary for some time' since I am new and less familiar about the whole thing yet? I assume it could take them some time and some extra officers to figure out my PR status, but they will have to let me in right?

I became PR inland recently, though I am still waiting for my PR card (likely 3 or 4 months later), I have the eCOPR letter in hand. The eCOPR letter is valid till mid-August, but some say that date is just for landing purposes, since I have completed my virtual landing via the confirmation...

So I just became PR this week, but when I drove to Canada from the US last year temporarily to visit my wife, I wasn't expecting myself to stay here so long due to the closed border and didn't report anything including my car on declarations when I entered last year. Is it possible that I can...
