    I’m driving to Canada from the US to confirm my PR. I have a single-entry visa. On some websites, I see that it says that if I declare my car on the form I am exempt from import taxes. On some other websites (and according to some comments on this forum), it says this is not the case. I’m...

    Working in Canada with a US H1B and visiting the US every 6 months to maintain the status.

But if one works for 5 months outside the US (in my case Canada) and returns for 1 month and then goes outside the US for another 5 months by maintaining an H1B status while working in...

    Driving to Canada from the US and returning after 15 mins of physical presence everyday - Is this a normal acceptable practice or is it a loophole?

    My immigration law firm said they will not provide any information about gift deeds as they're not familiar with it & cannot give accurate information

    This is making me rethink whether gift deeds are safe for submitting as POF. Can someone tell me if they know any instances of gift deeds being denied as POF? If not, can someone give me the exact procedure of obtaining a gift deed from my mother?
