Thanks for the reply. I left Canada in late 2018 and am currently a non resident for tax purposes (filed final tax returns for the year 2018). My income since I left is not part of my tax returns since I was not a tax resident in 2019.

...sorry. To clarify, Last Canadian job ended about a year ago...now overseas. So no Canadian income and no Canadian job for the past year. How do banks look at overseas income? Thanks.

Hi all...I have a question related to mortgage with high down payment and no income. If I was looking at a house in the range of c. $650k and make a down-payment of c. $450k, can I get a mortgage for the rest in the case that I don't have an income (last job ended about 1 year ago)...does anyone...

Many congratulations MatQue! It took 4 days for the PR cards to arrive in our case as well. We are in Toronto.

The following link has some information on calling IRCC from overseas. I havent tried it myself but you may want to give it a try. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/how-to-call-ircc-cic-from-outside-canada-t429081.0.html

Hi MatQue...the positive residence determination seems positive. Maybe there is an issue with your photo? Perhaps that's what the 'error' in production might be. You may want to call up IRCC on Monday to get clarification on this. Best of luck!

Hi Saga...interesting question...if I was in your shoes, my preference would be to apply right away, especially if one has 4 out of 6 years under their belt and they do not plan to be in breach of the intent to reside clause till C6 comes into force. My feeling is that as soon as C6 is...

Hi Mrmr, many congratulations! I wanted to ask you something...I am assuming that the correspondence you got in June 2016 was the RQ. What letter did they send you in January 2017? Was it asking for some information other than what you provided in the RQ? Thanks and congrats again!

You may want to consider paying the landlord 3-4 months rent in advance. That takes care of any credit concerns that the landlord may have. I did that for our first year. From the second year on, you will not need to do this as your credit history would be somewhat established. This may also get...

Of course, at the time of entry into Canada, we were comfortably over the days required for the RO.

We entered Canada through the Peace Bridge (Buffalo) last month. The process was very smooth. We showed the border agent our expired PR cards and the email receipt that we received from IRCC indicating that we had applied for the PR card renewal. The interaction with the border agent took all of...

I think that is only one factor. What countries you have visited over the past 5 years will likely also be a factor in this (certain ME countries or other 'fraud prone' countries etc.). Also if you are cutting it really close or of you are not able to show strongish residential ties (eg a job...

Hi people. I have a question about renouncing PR status. What happens to my tax status if I renounce my PR status and go back to my home country and my wife and child remain in Canada pending their citizenship. For all purposes, I will be a foreign national but will the significant residential...

It seems that John McCallum will likely be replaced. What's your read of this change? He was the champion behind Bill C-6 (i.e. reduction in the number of days for citizenship grant among other positive steps). I hope this doesn't derail the process. I find the timing odd too - especially since...

Thanks Keesio. I guess I will submit my NOAs and hope for the best. :) Any other advice from forum members in a similar situation (what you submitted, what was the outcome?) would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys, I am about to renew my PR card and I have a question regarding my employment record. Since coming to Canada about three yeas ago, I have been working as an independent consultant for clients inside and outside Canada. I have a properly incorporated company with me as the director and...
