As a US citizen going through the PR process, I have to say that I agree with you on almost everything kwyatt75 has to say. One point that I have not seen in this thread is small business. For an Ontario company with profits under $500,000, profit is only taxed at 15%. In the US, that would...

Thanks again. So, when I go to register the car in Ontario, they will not try to hit me up for sales tax? Just trying to dot my I's and cross my T's.

Great thread, and I thought I would resurrect it since I found it so useful. Does the "owning it for 6 months" rule apply for people who are becoming Permanent Residents? We are considering a vehicle upgrade and trying to decide if we should do it in the States where taxes are less. Thanks!

I am a US Citizen and my wife is a Canadian citizen. We have a daughter who has dual citizenship and another child on the way in a few weeks. We are planning a move to Canada and I am hoping to get my FBI history in a week or so (sent it in October). Since so many of the forms require...
