Hi Vault, Thanks a lot for your confirmation, although it is not a good new... :( ... :) since the Ontario tax is pretty high as well... :( Anyway, you are saying that you use US Fed. tax and State tax as Foreign Tax Credit for Canada Federal Tax return. I believe you've got no problem in...

I have a quick question on ON tax... I understand we can claim foreign tax credit on the Canada Federal tax return if we work in the US, get all income from the US, and pay US tax. But seems to me we really cannot claim any foreign tax credit on Ontario tax return if all the US income or...

I applied my PR card in Nov. 2002. Received my first letter for picking up around 8 weeks after I sent the application. My wife got her letter in 4 weeks, though. (we sent together). The second letter came after about 8 weeks after my friend called to reschedule the appointment. My...

I just would like to share some of my personal experiences. Hope it can be helpful. BTW, I landed in 2002 and currently working in the US. 1) PR Card application. I applied PR card last year. Wait a long time to get the letter to pick it up this Jan. But, could not make it. ASked a...

Here is just my understanding. it can be totally wrong.... Yes, there is a new rule saying that Canadian PRs will require a valid visa to enter the US unless you are from one of the country in US visa waiver program. I believe this is mainly to the people from Commonwealth countries...

Hi Vault, One question, it seems you are working for a US employer. So, I assume you don't have T4. Am I right? Then when you claim Canadian tax, in which field did you put your US income? 101 Employement income or 104 Other employement income? Thanks

Question to Vault Hi Vault, thanks a lot for all your information. couple of quick question. You mentioned that your didn't receive your wife's notice together with yours and your son's. I am just wondering how many days after you recieved yours, did your wife get hers. Also, how many days...

From various thread in the forum, I noticed that they are asking one additional Canadian photo ID beside your passport and landing paper to pick up the PR card. I am wondering what will happen if I don't have it. What will they do? Does anybody have this experience or heard anything about it?

Hi Ginnu, you mentioned that one of your friend has got the PR card already. Do you know they if they asked him/her to pick up the card at a specific date and time, or he/she can pick up the card whenever he/she wants after it is ready? Also, do you know what documents he/she need to show them...

Hi Vault, thank again for the information. I am just wondering what if I don't have health card and picture ID other than my passport. I landed not long ago and only spend several weeks in Canada in total and don't have other IDs from Canada.

Hi Vault, thanks a lot for the information. It seems they changed the rule since I remember from somewhere saying that they will keep the card for 6 months and if it is not picked up in 6 month they will destroy the card..... Anyway, one quick question. What documents they asked you to...

i didn't visit their website. What I posted is what I heared from an Canadian Customs officer. It may just be his understanding (actually, I got similar explaination from 2 other officers), and may or may not be correct. Do they have any formal explaination of 'visitor' mentioned in the...

I called the Canadian Customs today to, again, clearify this. An officer explained this to me in detail. According to him, Canadian Resident cannot drive US car to Canada is partially correct. However, the 'Resident' here does not mean "PR" or "Citizen". It really means the person who...

Question to RAJ5 Hi RAJ5, Would you please let me know where did you cross the border when you drive your own car with US license plate from the US to Canada? I am planning to drive my own car to Canada as well. But got different answers on whether I can drive my own car or not from...

The interesting thing is I called Canadian Customs at Detroit-Windsor tunnel. I explained my situation... landed Canadian PR, living in the US with H1b visa, planning to go to Canada for short visit, and asked them if I can drive my own car with US license plate (or rental car with US license)...

If I go to Canada for couple of days to finalise all the documents, mail the application and come back to the US, do you think I can still use the Landing Paper to enter Canada to pick up the card? They just ask for 'certified copy of Landing Paper'. So, does the landing paper still valid...
