Just doing some research and getting some advice on a few things. Some family wants to stay with us for a few months and they will apply for a student visa and an open work permit (2 adults, 2 kids.) We don't mind giving them a place to stay but they will apply on their own and I can provide...

Yes it's all good. I figure we have to report the taxes. Just wondering if there are any nuances that I could use to be exempt in some cases, as it's a bit of a challenge to read through the treaties. Thanks for the reply. Should I report only the Philippines taxable income (there's taxable...

Hi there. I am using the H&R Block software to do this for myself and wife, and just have a few quick ones. We moved in September back and both became residents. (I am a returning citizen and she is a PR) So while filling out the forms I have reported the small income she made in the...

Just go through here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/eligibility.html And go from there. Better to come here with specific questions versus just general things that can be answered through your...

Maybe, it would be a start. But it really depends on the totality of your circumstances and some RNG perhaps based on the reaction from whomever reviews your application. Showing the lease in Canada would be solid as well as perhaps some details on what you will do their, some other evidence...

Thanks that's probably the case.

I am aware of all that however how can they pull open your bags for secondary inspection if you never have them and are potentially on the way to London?

The only question here is since it's international flight and they decide to secondary inspect or challenge on the accompanying goods where would they do this in London? Of would they pull the bags from plane in case they decided he needed to be inspected? Just seems a bit too good to be...

Sounds like it was just automated messages that are actually erroneously sent which is unfortunate as it seems to be affecting a lot of folks here. (And probably a lot more overall.) Would be great if someone could get an actual statement from IRCC so that everyone can have "official" peace of...

For myself personally in my situation since I wasn't really in a rush or needing to have the PR ASAP I honestly never really even looked for or paid attention to it, I just waited for inevitable and hoped for everything to work out. Wish I could help you more.

Just be patient, it could be on some guy's desk who's on a vacation or something lol. It was apparent for me anyway that no matter what you do, there is some level of subjectivity on their part so if all was done accordingly it should be OK. I had 3-4 months where it seemed like nothing was...

Others have offered some great advice. I sponsored out of Canada and included quotes from cargo companies, (Even though I didn't actually end up using them to move stuff :)) letters from family, a detail of my updated Canadian driver's license (Not every would have this.) as well as rental...

Some things that I also included to prove return to Canada were small like getting a few quotes from a transport/moving/cargo company and I created an actual "plan" type series of documents pretty much outlining my "expected" plan. Tell them where you intend to say or as others have mentioned...

Just wanted to share my experience to help a lot of folks with perhaps an upcoming stressful scenario, landing in Canada :) Overall my landing was successful with some small issues mainly with the flight timings, but the entry experience was great with perhaps a combination of luck and good...

I am probably good then. When I get the regular "declaration" customs forms doI just leave those alone and give them the list accompanying goods? I guess the customers officers will realize that we are not declaring normal belongings on account of being a returning resident away for so long...

Ok thanks did you actually list on their forms or on your own? I was told by the lady I spoke with to use their phones but I alsos see that the officer will do that themselves by some people's blogs. Sounds like things will be pretty easy just don't want to get into trouble by not declaring...

Thanks I don't really have any goods to follow just what's with us, would only use that form to list more things. I guess I am watching too much border patrol Canada shows where it shows them finding all kinds of stuff and adding up the stuff they didn't declare lol. (I assume accompanyhing...

One last thing though I guess it wont't be a big deal I bought some computer stuff a few months ago (a video card last month) that I was supposed to take with my computer, it is used now but since my computer "broke" I took it out and want to bring it with the original packaging. Do I need to...

I would figure out a short term plan to lay out in your application under the section where you sustain your plans to live there. Just be honest and include things like where you intend to stay specifically when you land, talk about your retirement plans and just say what you said to us...

Right. I saw some examples online where they have groups of electronics, household, luggage, etc and to put a "group amount" unless there's something that stands out. I was told to estimate te value of these groups based on what you could currently sell them for. (Since almost all of it very...
