    Processing Times for French Immersion for New Immigrants

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can give me information on average processing times for applications for full-time French immersion courses (with financial aid / stipend). I applied in early August (almost 4 months ago) and took the language aptitude test two months ago. I called a couple of...

    B4 Form- Presented at Landing, but Now Settling with More Stuff

    For anyone in a similiar situation... They did not care that I had already submitted a B4. I explained my situation and they were basically like "yah, you were never a resident / you are not a returning resident" and accepted a new B4 as a "Settler". They didn't look in my truck at all and...

    B4 Form- Presented at Landing, but Now Settling with More Stuff

    Thanks- yeh, trouble is my big move is in a couple of days so I don't think they'll get back to me in time! Maybe I will just be prepared for both situations... 1) Old B4 + if they ask about any new items... proof of U.S. residency for past two years + receipts of items that were all purchased...

    B4 Form- Presented at Landing, but Now Settling with More Stuff

    One more questions regarding "Returning Resident". If they do claim I am already a Settler because I signed the B4 with the "Settler" box before, could I now be considered a returning resident.

    B4 Form- Presented at Landing, but Now Settling with More Stuff

    Problems are what I'm hoping to avoid! Anyone have actual experience with a similiar situation..and how things were handled at the border? If they won't give me too much trouble for presenting a new form, that sounds like the best case scenario. The other scenario would be to show them my old B4...

    B4 Form- Presented at Landing, but Now Settling with More Stuff

    Hello all, I presented and got my B4 "Goods to Follow" stamped at the time of landing (which now seems like it was the wrong thing to do since I wasn't actually settling). I just checked and they had checked marked "settler" on the form. I was just there for the day to land and then headed back...

    Canadian + U.S. Taxes - Dual Status?

    I'm wondering if I can declare myself as a tax resident of both Canada and the U.S. (i.e. not apply the "tiebreaker rule")? In my own calculations via Turbotax (which could very well be wrong), I actually would pay a lot less in taxes to Canada as resident with world income and using the foreign...
