    Looking for resources on filing taxes while self-employed (technically a contractor)

    Hi! Was hoping someone might have some experience with this and could provide some helpful insight. I live in Canada, I'm potentially going to start working soon as an online tutor - my sessions will be set up through the company (Canadian) that hired me, but I'll be hired on basically as an...

    How to apply for CSQ??

    Hey all, I got an email from IRCC letting me know to apply for the CSQ. I went to the Quebec govt website they listed and it's just terrible for finding any useful information on how to apply. I called them and was told I need to sign up for Mon Projet Quebec and apply through there, but it...

    Can the same proof of relationship documents be used?

    Hi all, I have a question regarding IMM 5533. Spouse and I are living together and so we need to provide documentation for 2 out of the 3 options they list: joint ownership/lease/rental agreement, proof of joint utilities, important documents showing the same address. No problem. Because we...

    What would be the best avenue to apply for PR?

    Mine expires June 2019. I did just realize I can apply outland even if I'm living here in Canada, which is the option I'm going to choose. I know I'll be leaving Canada to visit family in the states while waiting for my PR, so this would be the best way to go I think. Thank you!

    What would be the best avenue to apply for PR?

    My French is okay; I took French all throughout high school and college but lost a lot of it after I graduated. Immersion is making up for it though. If you want the job market to open its doors to you, being bilingual or at least being very, very good in French will do the trick. In my field...

    IMM 5490 needed if applying inland?

    That is really strange, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have IMM 5491 which is the document checklist for the sponsor (which includes the request for IMM 5490), but that form doesn't show up on the checklist either. I'm wondering how I ended up with it.

    IMM 5490 needed if applying inland?

    I know it says on the form that 5490 should be filled out if the sponsored person is living outside of Canada (we're applying inland), but on the sponsor checklist, it lists this form without the "if applicable" part which makes me wonder if we do need to fill it out... I know I'm probably...

    CSQ needed for a spouse sponsorship?

    Thanks so much, can I ask what SA means? I did some research (after I asked the question, of course), and I'm under the impression that I shouldn't apply for the CSQ until after I've been approved federally, correct?

    CSQ needed for a spouse sponsorship?

    Hi all, I have a quick question. I'm filling out form IMM 0008 (general application form for Canada) and it's asking me if I have a CSQ (which I don't) and if not, when I applied for it. This is the first time I've heard of needing a CSQ as a part of the spouse sponsorship. Is this something I...

    What would be the best avenue to apply for PR?

    Haha, as someone from the States I couldn't care less about the Concordia/McGill rivalry! :P Anyway, thanks so much for your help. I did learn that I'm not eligible for express entry because I haven't worked for 12 consecutive months, so I'm working on getting started with the spouse...

    What would be the best avenue to apply for PR?

    Hello! I'm new here so I apologize if there's been a similar post recently (or if there has, send it my way please!) I'm not sure if there's more than one way for me to apply for PR at this point. I am a US citizen, came to QC in fall 2014 to do my Masters at Concordia. I graduated and am...
