So, if I entered US with my US passport and returned to Canada with my Canadian passport - the CBSA does not know how long I was out of Canada?

Right, I did my Mercedes with dealership in Windsor, ON. It took them a week to re-program the system and ~$250CAN. The side effect was the temperature on the dashboard in C only.

No, CBSA agents will not tell you anything about modifications, that's between you and Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) in Canada.

This is just my opinion ( not suggestion) - in this case I would consider myself US tax resident, living in US and just to visit Canada. Despite family ties to Canada I still would consider myself "Deemed non-resident of Canada". Again, my personal opinion, not financial/immigration suggestion.

All these intersting questions, not clear to me "To fulfill residency requirement" - for US or for Canada? As far as "car plates" for CBSA and CBP - their main question is "where do you live?". If you live in US - you drive US plated car to, let say, your "vacation home" in Windsor. If you live...

As a person living in East Windsor for 5 years ( moved from MI) - agree with you 100%. The commute to me is easier since I am dual citizen driving ON plated car with US passport and Canadian citizenship card, always use the tunnel. My spouse came here as PR, never traveled back to US, never...

Read and re-read memo about residential ties and domicile , etc. Especially about "Deemed non-resident of Canada" topic. It's a bit of greay area, but I ( but what do I know?) would consider yourself as a "Deemed non-resident of Canada", even if for whatever reason others could say that you...

Agree, both customs are always asking first question "where do you live?" to identify residency . It's easy for me - dual US/CAN citizen to live in Canada and work in US, but probably not so for H4 holder.

Very interesting questions you have. 1. The answer depends on US company, whether the US company policy allows an employee to be located "overseas" and to work remotely. One thing is to work remotely, let say from Florida ( even this is questionable), another thing is to work in US, living in...

I agree. It's always unpleasant to drive US plated car to Canada. I had a big headache a few months ago when got the loaner from US dealership ( left my Canadian plated car to repair in US) and drove loaner home to Canada for a few days. Almost refused me to enter Canada. With real rental...

My question to you is where do you live after moving back to Canada? Are you renting or bougth the house/condo in Canada? If you live in your home in Canada - that's your primary property, and whatever is/was overseas is not primary property anymore, right? I do not think this forum can give you...

Generally you have to have a clean Title. If you have a loan - could be some difficulties to export not paid off car to a foreign country and registration in Canada. (but that's different question). I did not see any "length of ownership" limitation.

I did it with two cars ( under the bridge) going there 3 times, but do not remember the day of the week ( second time was on Tuesday, June 23d, 2020 ) , probably on the workday. You can try to check with them - call 313-964-7191 ( or by email: detroitvehicleexport@cbp.dhs.gov ).

"RIV inspection is online " - no, the RIV registration/application is online, they generate the form, which you pring and go , for example, to Canadian Tire to do "possible" vehicle modification ( in my case DayTime lights). After modification is done and RIV form is stamped, you do safety...

The Canadian DL and Car registrations are two different things. You can exchange US DL to CAN DL even if you do not have a car, assuming you satisfy exchange requirements. Not sure about Ontario insurance on US ( not imported to Canada) vehicle, but yes, to register a car you would need to have...

Have you checked how much duty you will pay to government and cost of RIV modification(s)? How about exchange rate? Are you sure it's always gonna be as high as today (1.38)? Just my 0.02 cents.

Yes, you do not have to do export again, your car's Title will be stamped by US export office only once. As far as travel every time you will have to answer the question where do you live and reason for your trip. If you drive to US and claim you are Canadian PR living in Canada the US customs...

I am happy with my TD Bank NA checking account ( to keep min $100, no other fees) and my TD Canada Trust $US account ( no fees). Easy free transfer US funds between both US account in USA and US account in Canada. Even better, I can deposit by walking to branch my personal check from Chase bank...

Looking at https://www.us.hsbc.com/checking-accounts/products/premier/ That's the US side... and I am not sure many Canadians will be able to open US HSBC Premier client account. What you need to become a Premier client: Option 1: Deposits and/or investments Have at least $75,000 in total...

My ceremony letter states: "Video oath ceremony Date and Time: 2022-09-07 (yyyy/mm/dd) at 10:15 AM (Time Zone) (Canada) " Is it 10:15am Easten Time ?
