SPONSORING my German common law partner HELP!

This is exactly why I still choose to receive a paper check, as opposed to EFT into my account.

One of the companies that I work for does have a division in Canada, so I was concerned that if i signed up for EFT, their Canadian branch would handle my pay, thinking that if I'm IN Canada, I must be a Canadian. Having the checks mailed from their US office (drawn on their local bank) is a pain, thanks to the snail mail and my bank imposing the customary `hold' on the funds, but at least I know that I'm playing by the rules.

Yes a payment coming from a Canadian division of US company, would be a big no-no.

Although with that logic, if they see they are mailing all these paper checks to Canada, couldn't they also ask their Canadian branch to mail the paper checks instead!

I went above and beyond to get their assurance that they will NOT change the payroll center! If I ever receive a check from their Canadian branch, it will go right back to them, post haste!

Lol, if that happened, I could see the Canadian payroll clerks looking at your returned cheque, scratching their heads at the "crazy American that doesn't want to be paid".
