To qualify, your new home must be at least 40 kilometres closer (by the shortest usual public route) to your new work location. Therefore no you cannot claim those moving expenses.

I won't repeat what has been said already above, but there are further implications that you should be aware of: Start here: Election for NR tax on rental property and follow some of the links in there I invite you to read a lot about rental income calculations, you imply mortgage + expenses =...

The credit is assessed for the family and it will depend on your worldwide income. If you earned too much money before moving, you will not receive any credit. There is a form you can file for new residents: RC151 No need to send two, on that form it asks your marital status and your income for...

This is all due to employment, tax and immigration laws. It is not just a concern of the quality of your work. That is the main reason why many employers post covid are fine with employees working remotely but still refuse them working from outside the country, some even limit working from a...

1. When will I be considered non-resident? The moment I leave the country? or after 183 days of staying outside Canada? I ask this question since I am not sure myself what my situation will be like and how many days I am going to be away. This depends on many factors not just physical presence...

That's correct but it is a normal consequence of being a tax resident of that new country. It is fairer to have everyone who lives in this country taxed the same way irrespective of their origins. Unfortunately the tax system is full of holes and issues that leads to failure in fairness but in...

It is important to clarify that India’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with Canada and does not offer any relief from capital gains tax arising from immovable property situated in India. The capital gain will need to be disclosed along with the amount of taxes paid. You will have to pay...

This is the wrong interpretation of the rules. Dtaa between countries determine where taxes should be paid first, in the case of immovable property in India, all Dtaa currently signed with India stipulate that India has the right of first claim: you pay taxes first to India. Those treaty, then...

I recommend you read this: https://www.justforcanada.com/moving-to-another-province-pnp-express-entry.html It explains fairly well the risks, the rules and what you can do to limit those risks.

By Law, Canadian permanent residents are required to present a valid Canadian permanent resident card or a permanent resident travel document when travelling to Canada. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1252&top=16 Furthermore, the act states: 40 (1) A permanent...

The first thing would be the proof that your PHD will be done (which explains why you want to move at that particular time). Any concrete proof such as a job offer, the purchase or rent of a property would be ideal but in many cases not that easy due to the timing. For the rest, this is...

You can if you are married or common law. You will need to prove (and really prove, with enough evidence, not just your word) that you will relocate to Canada once he is approved therefore if that is not the case yet, you probably want to wait until you are closer to that time to apply...

It really depends whether CRA will consider your property a personal use property or not, unfortunately that is done on a case by case basis. Since you don't keep it for your personal use it plays against you, but the key I think is to determine if your mother pays rent or compensates you at...

As @YVR123 mentioned, the main concern with your plans is for your two sons studying back home. Your positive H&C determination put you in a way back in compliance with the requirements of your PR, but it does not reset your RO. This means that yes you can apply for a new PR card right away...

Just to add, you need to continue to meet the residency obligation as they process your card and after that, just getting a new card will not reset the 5 years. What that means is that if you leave, at some point you may lose some of those 700 days (no longer in the rolling 5 year window) and...

It depends on quite a few factors. Once PR you are allowed to move province, but provinces can still go after you if they can show that you lied on your application: they would need to show that you did not have the intent of settling in Ontario. For someone like the OP who stayed years in the...

Many countries do not accept dual citizenship which means that getting Canadian citizenship would result in them losing their birth citizenship. For some it is well worth it and they are happy to go ahead, for some it is absolutely unacceptable for various reasons, some of which are probably...

This is quite wrong and will get whoever reads this at face value in quite the trouble. This is such a complex area of tax that there is really no point delving into the details of why it is wrong, people should contact a tax specialist, ideally in both countries whenever dealing with two...

You are unfortunately correct on the problems you may face with the border crossing, we can't decide or even offer much advise on what you should do, just inform you on the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Unfortunately at this stage you have limited options and none of them are...

It is strongly recommended that going forward he keeps an excel document with all absences. For now you'll have to do your best to recall all absences, CBSA history may not be complete, check on the US side as well. But YES he needs to list every entry no matter how many and inconvenient that...
