    Canadian PR, moving back to USA

    Hello everyone. So my wife and I are getting a divorce. I'm a US citizen and Canadian PR living in Canada. I'm going to be moving back to the US, and was just wondering one thing: When bringing my stuff back to the USA, will there be any tax/duty that needs to be paid? 99% of the stuff I'm...

    PR in Canada, moving back to US, what do I need to do?

    Thank you. That's good to know. There's lots of opportunity in Canada, so I'm not sure I want to leave forever. But I also don't have any social support network here that isn't a friend of my wife. So it'll be a hard restart either way.

    PR in Canada, moving back to US, what do I need to do?

    Oh ok. That's interesting. Well thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna talk to a lawyer or legal aid soon anyway. But that makes sense. Thanks.

    PR in Canada, moving back to US, what do I need to do?

    Is this true though? Because I'm finding conflicting information. Stuff saying you absolutely have to inform ircc of every change in marital status, address change, etc.

    PR in Canada, moving back to US, what do I need to do?

    I'll try to make this brief. I landed in Canada on August 2018 on family visa to live with my wife. My wife fell in love with a coworker this month (February 2019), and is insistent they are soulmates. She insisted I stay, and we open our marriage. I told her no, I'm not comfortable with...

    Landing with a friend/family member?

    Thanks for the fast reply! I assumed it would be a normal thing to do, I just wasn't seeing any info. Again, thank you for easing my mind.

    Landing with a friend/family member?

    Hi everyone. I couldn't find an a clear answer for this question. I received my final Confirmation of Permanent Residence letter, and I can leave for Landing in Windsor as soon as I compile my B4 inventory form. My father is going to be driving me to the border, and staying with me and my...

    Annex A and Passport request

    OK, thank you! Do you (or anyone else) know what the timeframe between sending this info, and actually landing in Canada as a PR is? I'm just wondering because I recently signed a 3 month lease on my apartment. I'm hoping everything lines up well and I can save myself some money.

    Annex A and Passport request

    I received an email from CIC the other day. The email comes from this address: CIC.CPCMississaugaDoNotReply-CTDMississaugaNePasRepondre.CIC@cic.gc.ca They are requesting that I submit Annex A form and 2 more PR style photos of myself, as well as the passport itself. From what I understand...

    Schedule A/Background Declaration 5669 E 2-2018

    I just got this message: I followed the links they sent, and they are only relevant to persons who have already been ACCEPTED as permanent residents and are living in Canada. So its clear to me that no one actually read my message... :( Whereas your message, its extremely clear they read your...

    Schedule A/Background Declaration 5669 E 2-2018

    Oh. I got a totally different message that was even more generic. It didn't have my name in it or acknowledge the pdf i sent directly.

    How to file US income taxes, married, non-resident?

    Yeah we did all that already. We already solved this issue over a month ago. I was eventually able to get a hold of an IRS representative who walked me through it.

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    Good luck! I submitted my forms the other day, and I got an automated response email that they did receive them. So that's good at least. I'm not as worried as I was before.

    Schedule A/Background Declaration 5669 E 2-2018

    I was able to submit extra documents through the IRCC Webform just fine. A day later I got an automated email response that basically said "We won't contact you further about this unless there is a specific issue or delay." So they received my documents, that's confirmed. But I have not been...

    How to file US income taxes, married, non-resident?

    We just filed separate. It was way less hassle. I talked to a woman at the IRS and she explained how it works. You basically write in NRA for spouses social security number, and that's that. I have no idea how my wife filed her taxes. She talked to her own tax representatives and figured that out.

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    This is where the oversight with this form lies. In the the main application they only asked for dates traveling to see my partner. I traveled to Japan 5 years before we met. Omitting a nearly month long visa stamp on my passport sounds like a good way to get denied. This form seems to imply...

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    Heres what the question says: It seems really clear to me that they do indeed want to know when I left the country, and to report traveling dates.

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    I don't understand. How can I not have overlaps? How am I supposed to report travel which overlaps employment? Or multiple jobs which overlap? For example I had the same consistent job from 2008 to 2013. In 2009 I traveled to Japan for 3 weeks across September and October. It was a vacation...

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    Thank you for your help. I would imagine doing it this way should be fine. I'm just curious, is this what you did with your Schedule A? I've seen a lot of suggestions to try this method, but haven't seen anyone report back that it was accepted. I would rather try a method that is confirmed and...

    Schedule A - How to Upload Attachment?

    I was really hoping this would work. But nope, Adobe won't let me combine the Schedule A form with anything. I guess I'll try option 2 there.
