Catteau, Exceptions to the residence requirement are made for employment-related issues. One of my family members is an airline employee, and due to their flight schedule which takes them out of Canada at least twice a month, they are also never able to meet the 1,095 days requirement. Fellow...

I also did not declare my border crossing trip to land in Canada at Niagara Falls. I literally just drove to the border, did a U-turn, and came back to officially "land" as a PR. This should not be a problem, because you are not required to calculate day trips outside Canada for the purposes...

Alphazip: Your statement about the T1135 is inaccurate. On line 266, Form T1 states: "Did you own or hold foreign property at any time with a total cost of more than CAN$100,000? If yes, complete Form T1135 and attach it to your return." The implication is, that whether or not your...

Your obligations as a taxpayer in Canada have nothing to do with your legal status (work permit vs. PR vs. Canadian citizen) in Canada. Rather, for Canadian tax purposes your obligations are primarily determined by your residency (i.e., where you reside and how many days per year are you...

Obtaining Canadian citizenship does not change any tax filing/reporting obligations that you already have with respect to your foreign property as a permanent resident of Canada. Note that there are potentially significant penalties associated with not disclosing ownership of foreign property...

I can confirm that this does NOT work. My ECAS was updated last week, and I did not receive a notification.

kentTO: Yes, the lower right-hand corner box did not have an agency or address included. However, the statement "Priority: 4" is in this box. No idea what that means.

Has anyone else noticed that there are no citizenship ceremonies currently scheduled for the Mississauga office between September 2, 2014 and September 26, 2014? I hope this is a mistake... :o

Yes, alot actually. My travel delayed my application for about 8 months, my 2-years as PR came up back in January 2013. Because of my travel, I didn't have 1,095 days until end of August 2013. My friend traveled a ton, too - he traveled even more than I did during the previous 4 year period.
