CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2009 -2010

[Cool_Heaqded]

I got a letter from CRA, they want me to pay them back like 120$ because I'm married now. I don't even work, I'm a full time student. I'm so confused...?

Call them and explain the situation. If you are a student and you are married, I believe you should not have to pay them back anything specially when your spouse is not here yet (I assume so). Just call them; your situation can be resolved. They will find a way to payback, in case you must pay back. May be some installments etc.

Then post the info here for others to benefit from your experience.

Not a laughing matter. Stuff like this grinds my gears. Hard working Canadians pay their taxes and every desi and their mother is taking najaiz benefits for some reason or another saying "chuna lagarahy hain". Be glad they are only asking you for $400 and not $4000. Once you've been notified by Canada Revenue for anything at all, you are on their radar and you can expect an audit at any time. Pay it and pray they dont come after you again. I know someone who has $16000 in benefits seized directly from their bank account in 2011. They were receiving child tax benefits while their family was overseas. Canada Revenue sent them a letter and seized all the funds right out from their account. Every single person receiving najaiz benefits and money from the government should have the same thing happen to them. Its not even halal money.

completly agree with you....

Disclaimer: I am not an accountant. I am posting something from CRA website. Accountant will be in a better position to tell you exactly how much you will claim.


=============== Federal Credits =====

If, at any time in the year, you supported your spouse or common-law partner and his or her net income was: This relates to spouse's income

- less than $10,527, calculate your amount on line 303 of your Schedule 1, Federal Tax (means deduct her income from this amount. In our case wife is not working so you claim $10,527); or
- $10,527 or more, you cannot claim a spouse or common-law partner amount. Does not apply to us.

====== Ontario Credits ===== Quebec would almost be the same too.

Line 5812 - Spouse or common-law partner amount

You can claim this amount if the rules are met for claiming the amount on line 303 of federal Schedule 1 and your spouse's or common-law partner's net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount that it would be if he or she filed a return) is less than $8,503 (this applied to us and we should claim it).

Complete the calculation on Form ON428, and enter the amount on line 5812.

Note
Enter your marital status and the information about your spouse or common-law partner (including his or her net income, even if it is zero) in the Identification area on page 1 of your return.

=========

Now how much you will get back depends on your tax bracket. If income is more than a specific amount then NO HST credits. If qualify then you get HST credits. Khanb5 You won't get any HST credits. Period.

I hope that will ease the understanding.

what ever money I am making I tuly beleive that is a result of my parents dua also my wife make dua for me too. Secondly kehte hain ke jab apka nikah hota hai to dono ki kismat mil jati hai aur wife apnay naseeb ka lekar ati hai I found it very true Mashallah se Nikah ke baad se I had so may good things in my life I feel completely blessed.

Hi everyone! We got sponsorship approval this morning! Pink lady could you please update the spreadsheet? Now we just wait for London visa office yay! Nice to finally have 1 step down

Hey s2gordon - congratulations on the approval!
Just wanted to check with you - when was your application received? on the 7th of March according to the spreadsheet, but I just want to confirm - that would be awesome, meaning that they have started with March applicants! (i'm in April, so next in line so to speak!).

Thanks,
Sweden

To Everyone:

I have a question.

Yesterday I received 2 letters from CRA. One was for GST and the other one was for OST. They were asking me to owe some money back to them. It turns out that my accountant notified CRA that I am married and the maritial status is changed on their system. They are saying that I have racked up a certain amount of GST/OST credit from July 2011 to June 2012 when I was not supposed to. The government now wants a certain amount back. Almost $400.

And yes, the only reason I didn't inform them about being "Married" was because I wanted to rack up a good amount of GST/OST. Its good side income every quarter.

I can't afford to pay back $400 to the government. My wife is not even a PR of Canada nor does she have a SIN number. She has not even landed in Canada yet. In the books of CRA, I should not owe anything.

What do you guys think?

lmao bhai i also received this n i calledf then tht my hubby os in pakistan n ot here he told me to write a letter to them n they will give me money bak or i will owe them less

Nice use of verbs and adjectives gori mem. Btw I am also a taxpayer, however there are certain things I do to benefit myself. There is no harm in it. I am not going to argue a whole lot but I did speak to CRA people and they told me what I have to do in order to avoid paying back that $400. This is just a FYI.

They advised me to send them a letter with my name, address, SIN and DOB. The letter must also have my wife's information and it must state the amout on GST and OST letters. It must also state that my wife is a non resident and has not landed in Canada as of yet. Then I don't have to pay back all that amount.

On top of that, they said that if I financially supported my wife in 2011. I can report that on the same letter and get some money credited.

I was like OMG what a blessing, "aur chuuna lagao inko"....its like "aah bail mujhay maar"...

 

[lover]

already ve sent birth certificate and my daughter is canadian by birth. i have no idea what this child declaration is and why they want it.

did u apply for her passport? if yes then the second parent need to give affidavit about same thing....my daughter in pakistan and we apply for her passport from islamabad ,my wife went to passport office in canada to sign that declaration form...

I got a letter from CRA, they want me to pay them back like 120$ because I'm married now. I don't even work, I'm a full time student. I'm so confused...?

How do they even know? I went to change my marital status to 'married' at the DMV and they said no. My husband has to come here, we have to obtain a marriage license in court and then I can officially claim to be married. So Im curious how they have you as 'married' on file.

CRA men are not so bad. My parents were declined Ontario Energy Credits and Property Tax Credits as the evidences sent to them were not in proper shape. I sent CRA the proper documents and they reversed the amount. I called Ontario guys as they sent my parents asking them to submit like 1100 $s. They told me that the amount is reversed after they got the information from Federal tax dept. On top of that they will receive some more credit as the amount declared by the accountant was less than what I submitted.

You have to be careful with accountants too, sometimes they do funny things. In this case he charged less than what he should have. But in the end my parents got what they deserved.

Good for you. I like your way of thinking. You can take the guy out of Pakistan but you cant take Pakistan out of the guy. Ridiculous.

In that case, you should have gotten married to a Canadian boy. Not a Pakistani boy. You wouldn't even have to go through this "in process" stuff.

There is a saying in urdu, it goes something like this:

"kawa chala hans ki chaal, apni chaal bhi bhool gaya"

Yes, no one can take Pakistan out of me. It is my identity. I m not a Canadian Pakistani rather a Pakistani Canadian. Sab seh pehlay PAKISTAN. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD.

Canada is just a second home. Lets all be honest, we are all here because in Canada there is a lot of facilities. I know I am right about this.
