Hi! I am filing for the first time in Canada. I have a small farm in another country. Not a hobby farm, but I certainly don’t depend on its cash flow. It has been returning me a modest loss for a few years already (I am actually trying to sell the land it but that is another story). I am in...

That simple, eh? I thought of doing that, but I figured it could be more complicated. Good to know. Simplifies (or delays) the problem. thank you!

Dear all, I am now a PR in Canada, and will have to file taxes on both US and Canada for at least 2 years still (and hopefully not longer...). I have rental properties in the US. I have had profits/income out of those properties in 2019. As of today (march 2020) I have not yet paid the USA...

Thank you. I understand that and I am following that forum. I believe I know the risks and implications and we are doing our best. I have a real, concrete issue. Can I drive a car into the US or is it too risky?

Hi! I hold a PR card in Canada and a GC in the US, which we don't want to lose, so we are doing all we can to keep sufficient ties to that country (bank account, address, taxes, frequent trips back, etc). I do have one question/issue: Should I avoid driving my Canadian car into the US over a...

Dear friends, When we landed in Montreal last year, I did not have the list of personal belongings with us - basically because we weren’t going to physically move until now. I read somewhere I should have had that list on me and stamped at entry. Is there a way to still do it now, or did we...

Hi! I became PR in August 2018. However, our immigration process happened faster than we expected. we were not ready to move (from the US) until early 2019. So, for the rest of 2018, my home address and employer were both in the US. I did spend some 15 days in Canada to look for a home. Should I...

Update: cards received; much earlier than the CIC published wait time for new cards. So I won’t have to test whether eTAs we’re still good or not. Thank you!

Additional info: I may also get an offer in quebec; I haven’t even started looking in earnest yet...

Hi all. I have become a PR in Québec. Landed, cards, everything. Just this month. Now I have an academic job offer in... BC. From an immigration point of view, should I stay in Québec? What are the risks, should I go to Vancouver instead? I heard a rumor that while it is not against the letter...

Thank you both. We have landed. I had to use our US GC numbers before boarding in order to get eTAs. That's all we needed to show at boarding and upon arrival. We went into the immigration room and got our COPRs processed. In no moment our US GCs were even asked for, and the officer on duty told...

Hello, we received our COPRs and we plan on landing in Canada in two days. I received today a most disturbing email from someone who heard of other people who have been asked on the Canadian side to give up their US green cards (at the moment of Landing), because one can not be resident in both...
