Yes exactly, this seems to boil down to that outside of obvious scenarios like someone obviously spent all their time in Canada there is no easy definition for CRA to conclude about how much time someone worked in the US vs Canada. Even a single entry/exit to/from US should suffice for plausible...

That part is true but what I am wondering about CRA and "days worked in the US vs Canada" ... how do they determine that I worked in the US vs Canada is my question. Is going across the border to fill a tank of gas sufficient to count as "worked in the US today" ... it seems arbitrary to me, for...

Thanks, I was thinking about this a bit more. What kind of proof does CRA ask for for commuting, or do they automatically get the data from border? Asking because often my US side data is incomplete/missing and if that's the only thing they rely on, can I just go shopping to the US on my WFH...

How long does AOR take these days for dependent child, am sponsoring child who is just a few months old and was born in the US (and lives in Canada now) in case that is relevant. Would appreciate any information about timelines. I was told I need AOR to add him to provincial insurance in BC so...

Thanks for help. My plan for next year is to commute almost every day, but I am worried about last year. Have you heard any of your colleagues who don't commute every day run into any issues with CRA, do they get audited for US taxes paid etc?

has there been any clarity on this in the last few years? How much commuting is enough? In my case I spent roughly 50% of my time working in the US vs 50% in Canada, what does CRA expect. Will they contact my employer (who is not supportive about working in Canada or running payroll etc) for...

This is some plan, I stumbled on this thread while looking for some information about sponsoring my child how did it go for you OP?

I too am very concerned about this? I traveled ~50% of days last year, but other 50% from home. My concern is that if they ask for I94 or some such proof then I might be trouble :(

@ejackson6691 how has this been going for you, for me the question is what is the right number of days for "at least few days" 50% of days, once a week?

@harirajmohan in such a scenario (where employee is present and working half the time from home in Canada and other half in office in the US employer) are you aware of either of the following types of problems happening: Asking employee to pay more taxes to CRA instead of IRS (as some...

I have similar questions but haven't you already filed for 2023? IRS deadline is already gone

nope, have you any insights?

1. Depends on your luck, eventually a CBSA officer will ask why you don't have BC plates, whether you have imported the vehicle etc. 2. You can probably get away with not having a Canadian license but it is a risk too as official window for swapping license is not much,90 days or something...

I Thanks I see, so when you e-filed you would wait for the audit to provide documentation, like proof of payment of US taxes etc? Sounds like it doesn't matter either way :(

@harirajmohan , @swan0206 any ideas if filing canadian taxes via regular mail instead of electronically and include IRS transcripts + proof of payment it will reduce chance of audit? The CPA I am working with says it doesn't matter, but I think I read a post here somewhere on this forum that...

@spavan87 what did you end up doing, need help with same situation, appreciat any help

do you know if the visitor record needs to be filed after submitting PR application or can be filed before itself by any chance?

oh wow I see, thank you

oh wow, does that mean you have been paying higher tax rate to US/IRS?

I see, but then doesn't that mean no standard deductions etc :( The rules seem very complicated and harsh for rental properties too in that case :(
