- July 2015 (became PR)
Hello Folks:
1. My Canadian PR Became active from July 2015 this year & my PR cards have arrived at friends place in Canada.
2. I am Currently in US on H1b, with Priority Date of Sep 2012 (EB2) & from the current trends, it seems it will take another 3 years minimum i.e. Oct 2018 before i become eligible to even get an EAD card, GC dates are painfully stuck at 2005 and there's rarely a hope for their progression till 2020.
3. Have you guys faced any issues renting your own home in US while you lived in Canada to become Canadian citizens after 4 years of stay? Any US or Canadian Tax Implications in this scenario? :-[
4. I am trying to evaluate what new opportunities will i open myself to in the case i move to Canada next year & then ultimately apply for canadian citizenship around May 2020? 8)
5. Does a Canadian Citizen receive special benefits if they want to come & work-live in US? Other than receiving the TN Visa, Free Healthcare, i can't seem to determine any special advantages that a Canadian Citizen will have as compared to a US Green Card Holder. Please don't take my question as negative, no offense to anyone & kudos to all of your hardwork & years of struggle as nothing comes easy.
6. Since i will have to give up my Indian Citizenship, what negative impacts will that have on my ancestral inherited property (agricultural land)? & ongoing property investments in India? Being a POI/OCI card holder of India in future will give me special privileges?
7. Are Indians who have successfully became canadian citizens filing taxes in 3 countries: US/CAN/IND? Or declaring worldwide on CAN? Or meeting US FBAR reporting requirements for taxes?
8. Are the scenarios related to RO/Delay in applying canadian citizenship (by 15+months after 4 years of stay) fairly common for H1b Indians?
Thank you for your help & going through my post.
