Alright so since im gonna leave... what will happen with my tax returns? do i still have to complete them ? can i call them and have them earlier or do i still have 6 month of all my benefice in Canada ?

Notify Canada Revenue Agency of your new US address. They will mail you the appropriate tax return for the Province you left early in the new year. You would file exactly the same way as you did in Canada but you would only file up until the date you left. What benefits are you referring to?

i also would like to do my international driver license done.. i have my regular driving one..and im not sure what i can do about that...
im closing slowly all my account everywhere...

Don't worry about getting an International Driver's License - your Canadian license will be fine in the US in most states for the first 30 days. Check the Department of Motor Vehicles for the State you are moving to and see what their requirements are for getting a State Driver's License.

what about my current tax return that im supposed to get soon ...can i cash it in the USA ? or its gonna be bye bye for it even though i worked a lot this year and paid a lot of tax...

Keep a Canadian bank account open and set it up for internet access. Provide Canada Revenue Agency with direct deposit information for that account. They can deposit your return to that account and you can then access the information via online. You will get your refund after you file your 'exit return' - that is the tax return that will have the date you left Canada listed on it.

what have you all done ?

thanks in advance for answers ...



im not sure what benefice im talking about *smirk* just though about pretty much anything like job/tax/school/medical insurance
seriously if i want to study in the states when i move should i get some paperwork over here or they will ask me to do a test to re class me ?
also i am not sure how much it cost to keep an account open with desjardins but it is active online and i guess ya i can keep it open..
im closing my visa credit card as well ...is that a good or bad idea ? since it will be empty anyway...
im leaving my work the 30th december...
i don't have a clue how ill get my T4 from them eitheir but my adress is all changed to my grand mother so she can at least mail me my stuff if i get some

Canadawaiting for green card after POE

You get your green card after you file for Adjustment of Status.

So:

File for K1 >>> K1 Approved, receive visa in passport >>>> Enter the U.S. apply to Adjust Status (apply for EAD and AP)>>>> Receive 2 year conditional Green Card >>>> after 2 years apply to remove conditions from your green card then receive a 10 year green card.

When you apply to adjust status you should apply, at the same time, for an EAD (employment authorization document) and AP (advance parole so you can travel before you get your green card if you wish to do so).


excuse me that confuse me... so i get the green card after waiting 2 years ? or your saying i get it and its good for 2 years... XD


No you don't have to wait 2 years, you get your Green Card soon-ish (not sure how long it is currently taking to adjust status, i'm sure someone here can give you an idea) - it is only good for 2 years. After 2 years you apply for your 10 year card (called 'removing conditions)

Bottom line - you can't travel until you get your green card or your advance parole, whichever one shows up first.


OH Great!!! biggrin.gif thankx

Where is your port of entry, Ebrech N Persona? (Land, air?)

Basically there's nothing you need to do. Just let them know you are using your visa and hand them the sealed envelope and passport. They will direct you to secondary where they will process you in. As long as there is nothing you have done to make them refuse you (unwaivered criminal activity, previous overstays, etc) you'll be fine.

Hey guys! im in the plane right now ! using GOGO in flight internet...this is sooo cool...
with air Canada flight
i haven't sleept since 24 hours XD im so tired ... we woke up this morning at 3 am and as the security has been enforced we had to wait longer than usual

i went 4 hours in advance to make sure

so we got our tickets and went trough the security as usual and to the border agent.. he cleared my mom and grandma and i told them to wait for me at the gate for our plane.

I said to the person that i was activating my K-1 and he said *ok then you have to fill the I-94* (think it was that) so he walked with me to the secondary...
he left me there in a room with 4 rows of seats and little booth with doors.

I filled the paper and left my passport with the paper and boarding pass in a plastic thing...( like stand for envelopes)
then i waited and a lady officer went out the room and asked me if i had any papers to give her...
i gave her the 2 envelope *do not open do not pack*
she went back in her room and i waited around 15 mins
then she called me i sat in the room and she asked me some easy stuff and was very friendly with me...
she stamped my passport, gave me some advice like * do not go right after your wedding for your adjustement* why because the paper need around 5-7 days to be shipped to california

so this is it ... and also they now have another security check after you exit the free duty zone... it took me another 15min to go through it
IM FREE! finaly no more goodbye

well for me and and my parents it might be rough to say goodbye :(
Again thanks to everyone here to help and support peoples in need of question :D

*yawn* so hard to sleep on a plane*

CanadaK1 Interview on Thursday!

:unsure:


Up until now I was totally fine with this interview. I was like, whatever, totally prepared, I have nothing to worry about. All of a sudden Im ridiculously worried.

I have no idea why. ARGH!

Please tell me Im not nuts and everyone goes through this :wacko:


everyone stress :) but seriously it will be a breeze if you triple checked all your stuff
copie 3 time all your document as they may ask you a copie for some document (Even if you previously sent 2! thats what they did at mine)
make sure you got your Envelope and that its not a brown one cause i saw a lot of people getting the wrong one

and be there in time :D

I'm sorry, you did miss out this year sad.gif

I posted the email address to send your info to and I did pm you yesterday with the email info again, so when I didn't hear from you I thought you had decided you didn't want to do it after all.

I didn't hear back from a few other people, but if someone else missed out maybe you two could be a secret santa to each other?
