    Bringing toys

    The Canadian government's website has an extensive list of restrictions around children's toys. Does that mean they will want to open up all my boxes that contain toys and inspect them?

    Question about papers/passports?

    This might be a really dumb question, but I have no idea what passport/paperwork I'm supposed to use when traveling between countries. I have a US passport and a Canadian CoPR. So does that mean when I fly out of the US I use my US passport but when I arrive in Canada I use my CoPR? For...

    Securing an apartment BEFORE landing?

    Has anybody on here secured their apartment before landing? I live in SF and it is an easy flight to Vancouver so I was planning to try to get a place before landing. I don't mind paying 1-2 months of rent before moving in because my priority is to get a suitable home for my family that is in...

    Can I continue working for my U.S. employer if I move to Canada?

    Thanks steaky! Your reply made me realize, I should've specified that I would be working for my US employer remotely while living in Canada the entire time. Would this be allowed? What would be the tax implications? Would I be able to receive maternity leave benefits?

    Can I continue working for my U.S. employer if I move to Canada?

    I have received an ITA through the EE Federal Skilled Workers Program. If I were to receive PR and move to Canada, could I continue to be employed by my US employer (but as a contractor)? If yes, then what are the tax implications? Would I have to pay double taxes?

    When's the deadline? In 60 or 90 days?

    The official ITA letter I received said I had 90 days to submit, but once I began the application in the online system, it said I have 60 days. Which is it? Thanks!

    Is there a deadline by which you have to move, if EE application is approved?

    My family was hoping to get an ITA by 2018, but the way things are moving, I think we may even get one by the end of H1'17. I'm not sure if we will be prepared to move so quickly. So I was wondering, if your EE application is approved, do you have to move right away? Is there an expiration date...

    Which NOC to choose when multiple fit my current job partially?

    I just wanted to add that my job title is Senior Research Manager, so the only reason I would consider 0125 is because it is the closest to matching my level seniority.

    Which NOC to choose when multiple fit my current job partially?

    I work in a really unique position in an industry that cannot really be categorized into the larger framework of "finance" or "IT" or "tech," etc. My role encompasses aspects of several NOC, but the one it fits the most is not something I could typically associate with my job. Specifically, I...
