Leaving Child in Canada Question

[Indikul]

Hi,

My application for PR as Skilled Worker has been approved. But I do not want to relocate to Canada yet as both, myself and wife, have ongoing jobs in our present country of residence. I have a child who is not yet 18 years old but has acceptance from a University in Canada to start his studies this fall. We are planning to go to Canada and get the paper work done, leave the child in the university housing and come back. I have the following questions regarding this approach:

1. Does the main applicant needs to be in Canada while the dependents are residing in Canada?

2. The child is a minor. Will this have any implications legally if we leave him alone, because I understand that for Student Visa option a minor student needs to have a local legal guardian?

Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

1. The main applicant needs to land at the same time or before the other applicants. After landing, there is no main applicant anymore.

2. The university may ask about it. Is there anybody you know in Canada who can do it? Otherwise ask the university. Maybe you can appoint somebody there as his guardian.

Thanks.

Now another question arises. If I leave him there and claim reduction in tuition fees, then will I have to pay tax in Canada on my income outside of Canada because I have a dependent residing in Canada?

Why/how are you claiming reduction of tuition fees? Is this a component of the tax system? I think you should probably look up a tax advisor to ask. Normally you don't file taxes in Canada unless you live in Canada.

1. The tuition fee for permanent resident is 1/3rd of what I had to pay if the child was to enter the university as a foreign/international student.

2. I had a look at the Revenue Authority website and it says that even if you do not reside in Canada, ties to Canada would determine whether you have to pay taxes in Canada. It also says that if your dependents are in Canada then your status is of a deemed resident as far as taxes are concerned.

Problem of work experience


Hi,

I had sent the application form as a Skilled Worker to the Canada. But, they have written me that my experience is not
suitable as mention in NOC List.

Actually, I am working as a research assistant under the department of information and communication engineer,
so, I mentioned the my work experience is suitable in "2111 Physicists and Astronomers" section where there is "communications research scientist"
in the list of titles.
I don't know why they have written my experience is not suitable in 2111 section.

I hope positive response.

1. So then it's not a part of the tax system and it's not based on your residency, it's based on the student himself having PR/citizenship.

2. If it says that your dependents are in Canada, then you have to pay taxes, I guess then you'll have to pay taxes. I hope Canada has a tax treaty with your homeland so you don't get double taxed.

Double taxed that will be crazy. You might wanna be care with stuff like this.
