Hi Seniors,

Please help, when I landed I did not declare how much money I will bring in Canada in 1 year because I am not sure when i will be back to Canada. I got out the country and back to India after 2 weeks. Would you please let me know how can I bring money to Canada without paying tax.

Thank you,

There's no need / way of declaring "future funds" to be brought in. It doesn't get taxed/levied as well. We r free to bring as much - as long as we desire, into Canada. There's no hassle/bar to that. The bank (receiving the funds) will automatically intimate FINTRAC, if the amount is over $10k. We don't require to do anything.

No Taxes... It's only the interest accrued on the funds (lying in a bank a/c) that'll attract tax (Capital Gains). Which u'll reflect in your next Annual Tax Return. Even that job will be done by your (any accountant, found a dozen around the road - usual charges: $10/per form) CA, while the time comes.

U can take the "very next returning flight" to your homeland, after completion of your "record of landing". Which shouldn't take more than 2 hrs at max.

However, it'd be wise for u to land, settle down, complete all the formalities (SIN, PRC, HC, Bank A/c etc.), fetch a suitable job, organize proper housing, obtain a Canadian DL, get a hold of the land, make some family friends & then return for your impending wedding. Probably after 6-9 months. U do not want to put your 'new' bride/spouse into a sham situation, do u?

All the very best!

There is no certain time limit. Technically, you could land as a PR, get married the next day and apply for sponsorship right away but if you did that, immigration would feel that you held back that you were already in a serious relationship and ask why you did not marry earlier and add your wife to your application. They may also want proof that you did not live with your wife before getting married and could not have been considered as common law. One year or a few months should be fine.

Dear Qorax

Request your inputs on the below query due to work commitments in India.

(1) I am planning to go in October for 1 week with my family to finish the Immigration formalities and as of now there is no Care taker address to forward the PR card, etc at Canada. I am working out on getting the address to receive the Pr Card
(2) I read in the forum, there is 180 days limit to update the forwarding address with Immigration authorities (after 'LANDING") through Phone - Please confirm is this TRUE (I could call them from India to update the address)
(3) If I still fail to get one forwarding address by this time frame, I read in CIC website / this forum, we can apply for Travel document in New Delhi to Land again (this time to settle in Canada)
(4) My query is how successful getting this Travel document in India and time frame for getting this done?

I would really appreciate your response.

thanks
Sujamana

Hello Seniors,

Time to time I am reading all the posts regarding reaching in Canada and other important posts like Job Hunt, House Hunt etc.

I would reach there IA in Feb.

I wanted to know if we have to go IMCNR (Immigration Check Not Reqd) check on our Passports.

And what about the Degrees and Marksheets. Do we have to get attested them from Embassy.

Please guide.
