Hello, It has been more than 5 years since I came to Canada as a PR. Last year, I became a citizen. When I was landing, I declared some of my belongings I had left in my home country to be delivered at a later date, but I have not shipped them yet. For how long am I still eligible to bring my...

Ah, thank you, how did I miss that.

Hello everyone, I have my online citizenship ceremony next week. We have received individual invitations for me, my wife and my kid with unique Zoom login IDs. Can we just login to zoom altogether with my Zoom ID, or do we have to login with three separate devices with our unique IDs? Or maybe...

Hi everyone. My wife and I will take the exam next week. Is it OK to help out my wife to login before it starts? I mean there is no recording yet at that stage right? She asks me to help her to complete all that ID verification and taking picture stuff.

Thank you.

Yes, I received my PR on 2018. But it says there I will need a visa and I "may be" transit without visa if I am holding a Canadian PR. Very confusing.

Hello, I found a very good deal to travel from Toronto to Turkey as a Turkish citizen/Canadian permanent resident. But when I check my eligibility on the UK government website, it showed me kind of a confusing result. https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/turkey/transit/somewhere_else/yes It...

No, with her two paycheques on Apr9th and Apr15, she passed $5000 (the mployer made late payments on April, even though she was laid off on March)

Hello everyone, My wife was temporarily laid off at the end of March, and her last cheque was issued on April 15. She passed the $5000 income requirement with that last cheque. We applied CERB on April 20th considering that she was eligible as this suggests: "Who had employment and/or...

Thanks everyone. The reason I am asking this on a forum is that I don't know exactly what choices we have for her without having a long training or education. Lots of options out there I know, but maybe someone in a similar situation could share his/her experience by saying for example "being a...

Hello everyone, We've been living in Canada for 1,5 years as PRs. During this time, my wife didn't have a chance to work as she was very busy with the settlement and our daughter. Now, as we are all settled and our child will be starting the pre-school day care next month, she can start working...

Thanks. I think it happened because the books were shipped from a store. Probably they thought that they were not my personal belongings. But still it is interesting that I hadn't paid anything for the previous shipments.

I will have my books (more than 500) shipped to Canada soon. I listed them in my “Goods to follow” list at my first landing. Will I pay taxes for them too? I thought those items would be exempt from any taxation.

Hello everyone, I moved to Canada as a PR on 2018. I had my books from my home country shipped to me several times and never paid any duties or taxes before. For the last package though, DHL asked me to pay $20 for the customs. I don't know why it happened this time. The only difference from the...

Ok thank you.

Yes, my pharmacy using my drug plan since the beginning. What is considered as low income?

This is acceptable as I am from a NATO country. May I ask you the source of this timeline? Thank you.

I have dental, vision and medication benefits for everyone in my family through my job. When I was filing my tax return, first I tried to use the Simpletax software. It showed me around $3000 refund. I thought I must be doing something wrong. So, I decided to continue with an accountant. I...

Thanks. I told them last year when I was applying for the CCB that I have a job already. They said benefits are calculated as to the previous year's tax refund. That's why I have been paid high benefits so far. My income is not low actually, and I don't understand why I have so high tax refund...

Hello everyone, As a newcomer of 2018, I filed my first tax return this year. It seems I will have around $3000 refund. The government was paying us CCB, GST/HST and Trillium etc, all of those benefits; and I've also been working since the day I landed. So, how will the CRA take back this...
