There are three issues:

1. Capital gain tax: This will depend on the laws of where the property is (in rem jurisdiction), based on how the calculations are done, nature of the property (farming / residential etc.) etc. So you will have to pay this in the country where the property is located and sold.

2. Canadian Taxes: If you are a resident of Canada, for the purposes of income tax (this is different form being a resident of Canada based on your visa / PR status), all money earned across the globe will have to be shown / declared in your Canadian income tax, irrespective of whether the funds are in Canada or not. At that point, factors such as whether you country is a signatory of double tax avoidance treaty, your tax status, etc. will determine whether you will pay any taxes on the sale proceeds.

3. Compliance with the proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA): Any large deposit funds to your Canadian bank account have to be reported to FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada). As long as your can show the source of funds, i.e. the sale transaction this is will a non-issue. Also, you do not have to do anything yourself, your bank will file the report and ask you for any documents. This will depend on the amount of money you are depositing. Also, if the funds are coming form a foreign bak to a Canadian bank, the rules and reporting requirements are more lax.

This is a very rudimentary perspective, and you should consult a tax lawyer / accountant for more details specific to the above factors.

I only have a working knowledge of tax, and based on that the above is my input.

Please be careful who you seek advice from. A wrong move can land you in trouble. Consult someone qualified and competent on this matter.

Even for legal matters consult a licenced lawyer, one that has been called to the bar. People use "legal" monikers and make claims of being licenced but when you dig deeper you find out that they are not licensed.

Dear @legalfalcon and @caipsnotes
I ordered my GCMS notes and see that my application(EE PNP inland) was transferred to Etobicoke after R10 completed at CIO.

Right now I have primary office Etobicoke and secondary CIO.

My question:which office is going to do the next step A11.2 review for me? Primary or secondary? Thanks a lot!

The applications are routinely transferred to offices across IRCC's network. Usually the CIO is where the initial processing of your application happens, and the the eligibility is done at CPC. See page 3 of your GCMS notes to know at which office the application current is at.

@legalfalcon I received my notes last week. On the first page, it stated the CIO as my primary office while also stating CPC-Ottawa as the secondary office.

But on the third page, there's the following;

Could you please explain the above as it seems a little bit confusing especially with the dates. Is my application still at the CIO or it's been moved to Ottawa? Everything except Security is passed. Security not started.

Thanks for all that you do on here.

I submitted on 23rd of January. EE-PNP. I'm guessing OSC Ottawa will conduct the security once they resuming processing?

If you have noticed a discrepancy then best to raise a web form and inform IRCC

 

[caipsnotes]

Such time extension notices from CBSA are becoming more common

More on this soon...

After waiting for 120 days, it is extremely frustrating that I am still not receiving my GCMS set ?

Is there anybody who can guide me in that matter ? I just need my GCMS set.
