Looking for resources/previous threads on how to avoid the double income taxes. 2013 will be my first year making CA income..... Thanks!

First off, it takes typically 2 months to get an answer on your Visitor extension. Mine actually took 4. So, apply early, I'd say at the end of the year or in Jan. Second, watch your status when you get your extension. When applying, I stated I had a PR in the process and wanted to stay with my...

Wondering if I call the S'toon office when I get the packet and offer to send them their copy if that could avoid $80 in gas and a treacherous 6 hr round trip in the snow....?? Anyone have experience/insight on this?

Money Question- I know to avoid $10,000 in the bank, otherwise there's a big tax by the US govt. What about cashing out a US 401K? I understand there are penalties to it, the US will excise a tax I think, should I assume the CA govt will as well? Asking our CPA seems useless as they don't know...

Just called CIC. Turns out, my "file" was sent to the local office (Saskatoon). They want me to come in for an interview?? To issue my PR card?? I asked her if this was common and the rep said, "no", but they apparently want to verify something??? Anyone else had this happened or am I just the...

What is the general time frame for getting your PR card after landing? I landed July 24th and still haven't rec'd it.

If you choose to bring them after your landing, you need to declare them on a "Goods to Follow" form, I believe, to avoid the duty taxes.

Thank you!

LOL whoops! I just put it in there, but it was the Kingsgate, Idaho one.

LANDED!! We crossed the border back into Canada on July 21st. I'm glad I was on the ball because the Kingsgate, Idaho CBSA officer in the office didn't even take my COPR, just my passport and then handed it back to me, said I was good to go. This was AFTER I'd told the officer at the window...

LEAVING FOR THE STATES IN THE MORNING TO VISIT AND DO MY LANDING!! ;D So, for the 2 copies of my personal belongings, does that mean 2 of the B4s (which there are only 8 lines to list things?!!) or 2 copies of a list I make myself. And I seriously have to list it again on the B4??? Thanks...

Going back to the States in 2 wks to land! Question on the B4....how detailed do I have to be with what's in my containers? Can I say "30 CDs" or do I have to list each one? "Photos" or list how many? "Cookware" or list each pot and pan? "Silverware" or list each fork & spoon? "Knick...

FOR REAL, I know, in the flat lands of Saskatchewan that's what ya get for "hills"!

Congrats!!!!

I'm not clear on what form/questions your talking about...but if you're currently at your present employer, leave the "to" blank. But, for the ins and outs of your ceremony, that's a good time to put some info in the box, then say, "Additional Page Attached" and on that separate page, you can...

Has anyone deciphered the CIC website to know where to find the information on how much it is to import a vehicle? I know it depends on the make/model/year of the car. Thanks!

Like Laura said, the Document Checklist will tell you WHAT you need and WHERE it goes in order. So yes, there is an order to it. Just start with one form and get it done. Then, move on to the next one. You can do this!

YAY Rosey and Claire! :P

SIN and Service Canada trip.... I wasn't issued a social insurance number. The SC officer, who was so sweet, after taking me through most of the process and collecting all my paperwork, said the information needed in the computer was either 1) the Landing Document or 2) the signature and badge #...
