Luckily, my employer has branches in Canada, the only problem is the "entity" I report to in the US is different than the one in Canada. My manager wants to always play by the rules and HR is not pursuing the matter in details into what other options are viable and so I am trying to find a way...

So I just spoke to two immigration attorneys specializing in Canada-US immigration and similar to what you mentioned, they informed me that I do not require a U.S. visa to be working and being paid in USD through the same bank account in the US. But to avoid any tax issues, it is best to open up...

Thank you so much for the reply! Could you tell me the reasoning behind why it is not possible? I am no longer physically present in the US so I do not require work authorization while overseas. Unless I am missing something, please highlight. Unfortunately the option of becoming a...

First of all, I understand I may need to contact an expert and discuss with the legal department of my company to get further details but wanted to throw out some questions in hopes that someone gone through a similar situation can shed some light and set my expectations. I worked for a US...

Nice way of explaining a complicated issue. I am in the same boat, moved from the US (no longer hold any work visa). My employer who has branches in Canada is asking me to continue working for them remotely. I will continue to get paid in US through the same USD account. Had a few questions...

Hi all- can anyone share their experience or suggestions with regards to moving personal belongings (mentioned on Goods to Follow) from USA (TX) to Toronto? What companies did you use? Did they handle customs for you? how much did they cost? I landed May 2018 and have now settled in and want...

That's still the case. I called today and had to go through all of that; you can however reply back in the body of the email (if you're ok with that) with all your bank details etc... instead of faxing/printing scanning. I do find that they give you better rates in comparison to Transferwise...

Thanks for your helps @APPNOV2014NY ! Interested to hear what others have experienced.

Thanks for your response. I attempted to go through the process of StartRight but they do not allow it from the USA. Chatted with a customer service and they said its not possible.

anyone has any suggestions?

Hi all, I will be moving to Canada in a few weeks and want to transfer all my life savings to a Canadian bank but would like to do it before moving out of the US. Should I open up a US $ bank account from a bank that is also located in Canada (HSBC/TD/RBC/CIBC, etc..) and when I land, I open a...

I did not get a list of Credit Cards, debt, etc... I went to my bank and asked for an official statement letter that shows all of my accounts (Checking + Savings) average balance for the past 6 months. This was BoFA. They were able to produce it on the spot. Needed another copy after several...

Just FYI - I am not from Iran only my spouse is. ITA - April 19th 2017 Completed Medical few days after Sent all supporting docs July 15th 2017 Approved PR on 2017/11/03

Thanks for the reply. We decided to proceed with our overseas travels first and then return to Canada to perform the landing and process the paper work while waiting for the PR cards to arrive. Thanks a lot for your responses!

Thank you both @zardoz and @bellaluna Allow me to clarify, my time for landing is limited and I will need to leave few days after the short landing. I want to return prior to the expiry of my IM-1 visa (thought it may not be voided) but I will be traveling around a bit and was trying to avoid...

yes, outland FSW and my spouse got it without any delays. not sure i get the Security Screening part though..

If I enter Canada via land and do a soft landing (from USA to Toronto) stay a couple of days, then take a flight and return home, not the US. Can I use my Visa, as long as it remains valid, to return to Canada via Air without the need of PRTD and without "using" my passport visa? I want to...

Thanks for your response. I am in the same boat, however, I have not landed yet. I plan to do leave USA, visit family back home, and then go to Canada. I may need to travel prior to receiving the PR, is it possible to apply for a PRTD while I am not in the USA? Say that I have a friend here who...
