Hi all! Does anyone have recommendations for a person/company who does slightly-complicated cross-border taxes between Canada and the US? (Ideally someone who's familiar with Patreon as a revenue-stream and a combination of employed and self-employed income.) We used HR Block last year, and I...

Thank you so much; that's incredibly helpful information! I will definitely send a request for a certificate of coverage STAT. :) And I'm going to get the publication you recommend as well (and bookmark this info for when tax time rolls around next year)!

I'm a US citizen who recently became a permanent resident of Canada. I plan to get a regular office job here in Edmonton, so I will definitely be paying taxes through that route! I also started doing some freelance-type work shortly before I moved here to Canada: A) I produce a podcast for a...

Just wanted to let you all know that I landed yesterday (overland, at Coutts, AB). It was a pretty quick and painless process. My one "mistake" (if you can call it that) was being too thorough on my list of belongings. I'm a bit OCD so I separated out nearly every item I own as a separate line...

I haven't actually landed yet--just got COPR. I plan to land on March 2nd! (If "visa issued" is synonymous with landing date, then I apologize--erm, apologise--for mixing that up. Anyway, please wish me luck with my landing. We're planning to drive across the border between Montana and Alberta...

I have a question about the "goods to follow". I don't think I'll have room to bring everything when I land. Some of it will stay at my parents' house in the US. I'll definitely have two B4 forms when I land--one for what I have with me and one for what's coming later. My question: Is it okay...

Thanks for this thread. I'm landing in about a month, and now I'm a little clearer on what to do! I know I can fill out a B4A for possessions that will follow later, but I have a question about that. How do those later goods work? Do *I* need to be present with them? Can they be shipped? Or if...

I also got an immediate automated response when I emailed my passport after PPR. I didn't get any other sort of confirmation, so your situation sounds very normal. It took nearly 12 weeks between my PPR and COPR, so if you're like me, you're halfway through the waiting period. I do think it...

I think I'll be landing March 1st or 2nd, though we haven't finalized plans yet. Can anyone can point me to good resources for what to expect (and what I'll need) for landing? A website with a checklist would make my organization-nerd heart very happy. ;)

Your second guess was right--I was checking the website every day! :)

Excellent news! My COPR arrived yesterday! I'm so happy, and I hope this means there'll be more movement soon for the rest of you who are waiting. Now we just have to plan a time to move me and my belongings up across the border--a whole new process to research! Could someone please update the...

Thank you so much for the info! You've made my day! :D

Congratulations! How long ago did the website change to "Decision Made" for you?

Thanks! They don't actually have my passport; I sent a scanned copy. So I assume that means they'll just send the visa. That's fantastic!

I'm happy to report that my ECAS status just changed to "Decision Made"! (With the added note: "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.") Does anyone know how long it takes to receive that contact? And is it usually a paper letter or...

Canuckluvus is correct, as I'm in the US, they only needed a copy of the photo page of my passport. I scanned it and emailed it within about an hour of receiving the email! :) Now I'm just waiting for In Process to change to Decision Made. (Or for them to request I send something else.) My...

That is a good question, and I don't know. If, as computergeek stated above, "In Process" means they'll be asking for something, maybe they need something else from me? (Gosh I hope not! That would likely mean they lost something we already sent.) Perhaps they're just very late in changing the...
