Hi
When arder caips?

[111]

They r only asking for ur bank statements.

Dear Qorax,

Thank you for all the assistance you have given me. I was wondering when I go to canada, and I step foot there, do I have to show my apartment agreement, which is under my name or it is not needed?
Secondly how much money would be enough for me and my husband monthly in Toronto, can you give me an estimate. I dont want a high standard of living should an average one, without buying a car, just 1 bedroom?
what is the cheapest flat in toronto? basement or condos or 1 bedroom flat?
 Sorry for these questions, If I want to be an ESl teacher do I obtain any certificate from toronto? If so what are the costs and duration of the certificate. I already have my masters in english from U.K.
 I'm just nervous. Thanks in advance.

Toronto - Living costs (a guideline only)

U'd generally be Ok with $2500-3500 per month.
-House Rent: $700-1300 depending on what/where u locate/chose. Anything less than $700 would be shady!
-Heat & Hydro: If u take a condo, add another $100 a month to the above.
-Cable/Internet/Phone: $125-200 depending ur usage/preferance. Anything less than $125 would be tearsome!
-Conveyance: $100-200 depending on ur efficiency. Anything less than $100 would make u immobile!
-Fuel: Add $200-300 on the above if u have a car. Else u r semi-static... not hapenning 4 u here!
-Auto-Ins.: $400-600 if u buy a car. U may chose not to initially... but down 6 months - u must have [else u might be in deep sh1t]!
-Food: $1200-1700 depending on ur livability. Anything less than $1200 - and u aren't 'alive'!
-Outings: $300-700 depending on ur lifestyle. Anything lesser than $300 would make u socially dead!
-Stationery & consumables: $50-100. Anything less than $50 and u r doing nothing!
-Irregular purchases: $250-400. Anything less than $250 is not happening, here...
-Out-of-pocket expenses: $300-500. Else u r impossible, incorrigible, incognito!
-Kid's welfare: $150-250. If u have kids - u'd understand their addnl requirements!
-Childcare: $300-1000 depending on what u chose [pvt unlicensed to proper daycare]. It'd be if u both work & if kids r minors.
-Misc.: $300-500. U never know from where u'd have a bombshell! If not - it'd be ur safety-net.

Hi,

1. There's no way/procedure/form/format to declare ur overseas assets in Canada, neither while landing nor thru ur annual tax returns. While landing u present ur form B4 for 'goods to follow' - but remember it's for 'items of regular usage' - not for fixed assets. And while filing ur tax returns [around Jan-Mar of each yr] u may quote ur overseas "incomes" [which is taxable in Canada], but not ur overseas "assets".

2. I'm not sure what's an "ESI teacher", but in any case - Teaching is a "regulated profession" here, which means u'd have to obtain licenses to practice/work. for more info on it u may visit this link: http://www.onnip.ca/article/54/

Do you mean if lets say my dad transfers money from iran to my bank account in canada, Canada gets taxes for that? so its better if I dont quote my overseas income so tax wont be deducted? Is that possible? So is it better to quote the income or not?

For the one millionth time -- "ANY MONEY that u bring-in here, by wire tfr, or draft dep, or chq dep, or TCs, or anyway whatsoever, will NEVER BE TAXED... u can keep bringing-in as much as u can, till whenever u can, all will be FOREVER UNTAXED".

I got visa on March and it got canceled same month showing following two reasons
1) I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT D EMPLOYER HAS DEMONSTRATED COMPLIANCE W/ FEDERAL OR PROVINCIAL LAWS REGARDING EMPLOYMENT OR RECRUITMENT IN D PROVINCE HERE U WILL B WORKING
2) D INFORMATION U PROVIDED   @   UR INTERVIEW DID NOT ALLAY MY CONCERNS THAT U HAVE CONCEALLED AN UNAUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE & THAT U PAID ILLEGAL PLACEMENT FEES TO THIS REPRESENTATIVE.
I understand that I hd link with UAE based agency and I paid placement fees, because agency find me employer in Canada. UAE agency ve another agency in Canada who find me employer .but I never keep in touch between employer and me. As well this Canada agency. Now I saw same employer posting job vacancy in job bank and I forward my cv   to this employer mail. Employer surprise and sucked to see my resume and contact me what happen how visa cancelled .and now employer showing interest to me hiring again through direct hire not through agency employer wants to  apply LMO  for me and  sending to me directly  now my question is
 if I apply  work permit with same employer in abudhabi visa office what  is the chances to approve work permit  ?
But abudhabi VO told me if I apply genuine   ill  get 1st priority  to approve visa
and one more question my visa was already cancelled in system in Canadian border and embassy but in my passport still not cancel .and embassy also not requesting for cancelled  what can I do/ I still can apply another application for work permit ?
Some seniors advise me!!!

Hi captain,

Hi,

1. U file tax returns every yr. for the previous yr. [filed between Jan-Mar],
2. U state all ur incomes in that, including overseas ones [if any],
3. U pay taxes on the total income [Canadian+Overseas], alongwith that tax return,
4. After a while [usually 3-4 weeks] u receive the CRA tax assessment report, which is based on ur tax filing,
5. Here CRA specifies ur refunds [if any] & tax amounts further due [if any], or whether ur filing was correct & successful.

Note:
a. We r talking about declaring ur 'incomes' here in ur annual tax returns,
b. Not what u bring-in while landing or later [whenever] -- those r settlement funds & non-taxable,
c. 'Income' here means 'earnings' which u state 'only' during ur annual tax filing,
d. Thus, if u don't state ur "overseas incomes" it cannot be taxed [though it's illegal to do so],
e. B'coz in Canada u r liable for paying tax on ur 'total' global income, not just on ur Canadian income.

Hope that clarified...

Further to above, if your overseas income is taxed in your home country then you can take benefit of double taxation avoidance treaty, if same exists between Canada and your country,
On Overseas income Tax is payable only when you have established substantial residence in Canada. So if you are just doing a Landing run and then going back to your country of residence and intent o come back later , then your overseas income is not taxable, only interest or capital earned during this period is taxable
On fixed assts specially property owned in your Home country, the law says that an New immigrant on the day of landing is deemed to to have sold off and re acquired all his property, point to note is that it is only deemed, no physical transaction needs to take place. Now at later date if you sell this property and bring money in Canada and declare that this is from property sale then you will be liable for paying Capital gain tax on any appreciated value of property from the day of landing. You could again use Double taxation avoidance treaty to reduce or write-off your tax liability if you have already paid tax in home country.

Thank you for your reply but im still wondering can I not state my overseas income. I want to move to Canada permenently, I wont come back to my country. Then if I have an income each money from my home country, will I get tax for that? If I will, can I not state my overseas income?
