Is there anyone could share their landing experience?
I planned to land in Feb 16 and would return to Hong Kong a few weeks later. There is a few questions, hopefully, someone could give me insights on that:
1. PR card
- could the PR card be sent to Hong Kong? or have to collect in person in CA? since, I just wonder, for the arrivals, we don't really have a permanent address yet.
No. PR cards will not be mailed outside of Canada by CIC. However, you can give them an address of a friend/relative that lives in Canada and they can mail it to you.
2. health card
- how long does it take to arrange the health card those sort of things
Depends on the province. For instance, Alberta has no waiting period and you will get your health card almost the very same day you land (or the next day) but Ontario has a waiting period of 3 months. In the latter case, it is wise to purchase private insurance that would cover you while you are waiting for OHIP.
A bonus here - You can apply SIN right away (at the airport itself) after you land.
3. personal tax issue
- As CA is worldwide tax, if I land in CA shortly and return to HK, am I subject to CA personal tax? or only subject to CA personal tax after completing 730days of stay in 4 years time?
No clue. Someone else would be able to answer this!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
