Per my understanding, you need to have room in rrsp for the first year to contribute(which includes US pension contribution). So you may not avail this deduction for first year.

You wont fill the exact line number in the form as your tax software would do it when it generates the final file. So look for "Foreign Income & Foreign Tax Credits" section and just fill the foreign income and foreign tax paid.

Then its same case like i initially said. 1. File IRS. 2. Filing CRA: Include income from US with the total of 1040 AGI line11 and 401k contribution from w2. Mention/include the taxes paid in US. Include RC268 form to get the 401k income exempted from tax. If any additional tax to be paid then...

I still cannot interpret if your withholding(tax at source) is being paid to IRS or CRA. I havent seen w2 tax being paid to cra hence i cannot compare or ask questions based on that. Irrelevant of above, simply follow this logic - file tax return to the country where your w2 tax is paid. Then...

I am not sure if you have taxes paid to US or to Canada. So file to the country where your taxes were paid to in W2 and then file to second country mentioning the taxes paid to first country(and the difference if any).

If your income is in USD then why would tax being paid to cra. File IRS. Filing CRA: Include income from US with the total of 1040 AGI line11 and 401k contribution from w2. Mention/include the taxes paid in US. Include RC268 form to get the 401k income exempted from tax. If any additional tax...

Usually we dont fill out the forms, line by line when we complete the return with online/offline software hence i am not sure how to interpret about what they are hinting. Here is what i did: Include your income in Canada with the total of (1040 filed total income line + 401k contribution in...

It doesnt matter as i was audited on both cases. For my colleague's nephew, cra sent letter saying they dont want additional documents. Thinking they are not storing those additional docs(assuming in some cases) which is why people(including myself) started to get letters on asking for the same...

Passport detail submitted in uscis is not needed to be same passport to seek entry on Canadian passport based on that uscis approval. This is not a problem. We, most of us have one approval with previous passport including myself and i have used to enter using Canadian passport. Whether you...

They are not worried about current address on driver license. they are asking for your address to very and for sending citizenship certificate. Just show both IDs if they ask for secondary ID. No issues. They just want to verify local identity as they are used to do for years - nothing more. You...

Few cases i have seen post on same, for some people its not found. No idea why. But as long as they are on H4 then should be fine but its better to keep the I94 copy while sending EAD form. I dont know how you can get copy of I94 to know the number to apply ead. Yes, we can see I94 online for...

All passports are foreign passport and same after reaching cbp check point. Visa is just used to get to that first stage of cbp from a different country via commercial vehicle. So canadian too will get I94, same as H1 candidate. Not sure which threads you read or which websites you read on it...

Any address on pcc is fine. I was receiving the pcc in US address when all my residences were Canada while appyling canadian citizenship. cic officer just needs pcc to clear the name and move to next stage, not wanting to verify the address fbi quotes with citizenship application.

I dont know anyone switched from H to TN after 140. My colleague didnt start on gc process and later switched to TN. One director was on TN but later moved to commuter gc. As the other forum member told, it seems that having 140 alone is not proving the intent. So even if border official asks...

Both TN and H4EAD have their own good and bad. if one wants to be independent from spouse to avoid any issues during job loss then yes separate TN or H helps. To take any job or getting job without visa sponsor then H4EAD will help. But all these things are not good for long term as all these...
