K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresStill working in Canada?
QUOTE (Reba @ May 6 2008, 04:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Plus, she's a Canadian citizen, so they should be able to DCF even if she's in the US I should think.

QUOTE (EmilyandJason)
Once I apply for AOS I will not be able to return to Canada without AP which will not be granted for this purpose


This is false. A K3 is multiple entry good for 2 years, even after you apply for AOS. No AP needed.



That is great to know, thanks Reba. A lawyer told me I wouldn't be able to re-enter after starting the AOS. I'll check into this further.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresStill working in Canada?
I am planning on working in Canada after I have entered the US with my K3 visa.

I've been told there shouldn't be any problems with this.
I will apply for an EAD after I have the K3 in hand and have used it to enter the US. I will then move my possessions to the US with me and reside with my husband and I will return to Canada for a few days each week. I am only planning on doing this for a few months though, this could not be done long-term. Once I apply for AOS I will not be able to return to Canada without AP which will not be granted for this purpose. The point of doing this is to avoid being unemployed during the three month period of waiting for the EAD, by the time I finish at my Canadian job I'll have the EAD in hand as it has to be issued within 90 days.

That being said, if the OP's whole family resides in Canada, DCF is the way to go. Otherwise, this may be an option to avoid forced unemployment.

She doesn't need to file. If any deductions were taken she could file to get those refunded.

CanadaReal estate, RRSP, and future move
QUOTE (Shep & Kali @ Feb 19 2008, 09:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thank you for all the replies; I'll try to track that book down. Selling the house vs. renting it for income has always been a wrestling match in my mind, but that's probably financial-advisor conversation material.



The other issue with renting the property is you will have to pay non-resident withholding tax on the net rental income. There will be forms to fill out and send to Canada Revenue Agency. You can find more information here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/menu-e.html

As far as the RRSPs go, you can choose to leave them in Canada without any tax affect. You can later withdraw funds, subject to a 25% non-resident withholding tax and then contribute amounts to an IRA in the US.

I absolutely recommend that you get professional advice from an accountant familiar with these issues.

CanadaHow to get new CAN Passport after name change
QUOTE (natasha peter @ Feb 19 2008, 01:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
HI ALL,
How and where to apply for new passport after you enter US.How much time does it take to be done ?Do we have to go in person or can be done by mail?

wacko.gif too many questions but just curious to know.


I just did mine by mail. I sent the form in on Jan 15th, they issued it Feb 1 and I had it by the 4th or 5th! WAY better than standing in the passport line.

Here is a link to the forms, instructions and addresses: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/index.aspx

As for the name change, I just included a copy of our marriage certificate (I needed both sides signed by my guarantor), I had to include the original of my birth certificate.

Oh, the guarantor rules recently changed, it now can be anyone as long as they hold a valid Canadian Passport - they will need to include their passport number on your application form.

Hope that helps!

CanadaTax time question
QUOTE (dearheart @ Feb 20 2008, 04:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I apologize, I did end up finding my answer on the CCRA website:

For the tax year that you leave Canada and are an emigrant for tax purposes:

use the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide and the forms book for the province or territory where you lived on the date you left Canada.


So, Quicktax is wrong. Hopefully they will fix the bug.



Sounds like you are on the right track now. Yes, quicktax is wrong, but sounds like you got it fixed.

It makes sense that the refund would be less, since your tax credits would be pro-rated, not the best news, but at least it is correct.

I don't think it is necessary to ask the CRA for an opinion on your residency. I think it is pretty clear from when you left the country and cancelled your medical coverage.

You would be residents of the US for November and December - at least from a Canadian tax requirement point of view! I see it gets a little tricky with the California laws, so I'd say for US purposes you weren't residents! You'd only need to file there if you meet the requirements.

However, please get a professional opinion if you have any doubts.

Perhaps I misunderstood the situation. My answer applies to Canadian residents that are emigrating during the taxation year.

US Citizens always have to file US returns for world wide income. You would also file the Canadian return.

EmilyandJasonFemaleCanada2008-02-20 12:29:00
CanadaTax time question
Yes, you and your husband would file as Canadian residents. You need to enter the date you left Canada and the program will prorate the tax credits for you.

If you have any taxable Canadian property you will have deemed dispositions to report.

CanadaNexus pass
QUOTE (Delicia @ Feb 24 2008, 02:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
As I posted before my husband (the Canadian) wanted to get a nexus pass for his visits to me in the U.S. It is much easier for him to travel (and cheaper) since he is self employed he can pretty much take time off whenever he likes and he can stay at my apartment. When I go to Canada, I have to rent a car, get a hotel, etc because of his current living arrangements.

Since finding out he is 'flagged' with Canadian Immigration and will get put into secondary every time he returns to Canada he and I are of the thought that he would be denied a nexus pass on the Canadian side. On top of that, he doesn't want to get 'flagged' on the U.S. side and we think that applying for the nexus pass would do that in and of itself. He has problems getting proof that he will return to Canada as he is self employed and doesn't have a lease in his name or anything like that anymore.

Thoughts?


Could you call CBA and ask them if it would make any difference? I know there is a bunch of paper work, a fee, and an interview involved in getting the nexus.
EmilyandJasonFemaleCanada2008-02-25 01:36:00
CanadaTax Question
Yes, that is correct. However, I think you can also elect to report the Canadian source income (EI benefits) - I think this is where you use the sec 217 to determine if it is worth it, compared to claiming it on a US return. I don't know how that works for a part year though, or if it is possible.

I don't know how to include your wife on the return without it allowing you spousal credits (if you enter her income as zero). (hehe flames beat me to it --- that way would work for sure)

Sorry I couldn't be any help.

Did you leave Canada in the year? What kind of income are you claiming? Are you filing for the whole year? etc .. etc ...

That will be a good start.

If I assume that your wife is a USC and has lived in the US the whole year, with no Canadian source income, I don't think you include her on your return.

I always bring a full package of goodies along in case I ever get asked for proof of ties.

They just ask me what my occupation is, where I work and when I am coming back.

CanadaTaxes!
Here is a really useful tax guide:

http://www.cra-arc.g...56/t4056-e.html

The 216 return is for a non-resident who receives Canadian source rental income.

The 217 return is for a non-resident to elect to file a Canadian return.

A lot of people have asked how to include their spouse, this guide provides that answer as well:

enter your spouse or common-law partner's net world income for the part of the year you were a resident of Canada.

This wouldn't apply to Carla since she was married after she departed Canada.

For the year you emigrate there are special instructions - you file one return for the year. You have a choice - claim income only to the date you left, or claim it for the whole year. You do not received provincial tax credits for the period you were a non-resident.

Special instructions: http://www.cra-arc.g...html#P192_20253

Carla - it sounds like you have done it correctly based on your post, but its hard to confirm that without actually seeing what the program is calculating. Hopefully the above guide helps you out.

I don't have a lot of experience with US returns so maybe someone else can help with that part of your question.

Hope this helps!

CanadaFilling Taxes for the year 2007 (Quebec)
QUOTE (Zaurok @ Mar 11 2008, 11:24 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello. I'm really lost here. Here's my situation:

I worked in Canada during the first half of 2007, quit my job before moving to the US on my K1 visa. Got married, filled for AOS and got my green card by the end of 2007. All my income is Canadian.

I earned money while being a resident of Canada (my job)
I earned money from some invested money (about 400$) but forgot to tell the place I invested that I became a non-resident so I received a T3 instead of a NR.
Also earned some interests from my banking account. I received a NR4 for it(about 100$)
Besides the T3 and NR4, I did not earn any money while in the US for 2007.


How should I answer the question where they ask where I was living on December 31th 2007? USA or the last place I was before becoming non-resident which would be Quebec
How should I answer the question about my civil status on December 31th? Single or Married? I was single the whole time I was a resident of Canada.
Where do I file the Quebec's income tax report? Should I send it to the International Tax Services Office with the Federal one?
Anyone knows if I have to file a return for the IRS?

If it was just me, I would file normally with an added note about the December 31th questions and the T3 not having been hit by the 25% deduction. About the NR4, do I need to include it anywhere?


Ok, I'm home now and I'll give this a shot.

Where you were living on Dec 31 - this should be USA, you will need to put in your date of departure
Civil status - married - you will need to enter the date of change. You will include your spouses income for the period of the year you were married (there should be a spot for spouse's income)
I believe you send the Quebec return to either of the Quebec addresses. The CRA site indicates you "may" need to file a separate Quebec return in the year of departure. I really don't have any experience in this area (I'm from BC).
As for filing with the IRS, I believe you will file .. either married filing separately or married filing jointly .. this is really out of my area of experience as well.

Sorry I can't provide more info about the Quebec return or the US return.

Hope this helps get you started.

CanadaFilling Taxes for the year 2007 (Quebec)
I got this info from here: http://www.cra-arc.g...html#P319_25148

I think it answers some of your questions. I would recommend calling the Internation Tax Center rather than the regular line.

Which tax package should you use?
Generally, you have to use the package for the province or territory where you resided on December 31, 2007. However, there are exceptions (see next section) such as if you had residential ties (see the definition below) in another place. You should have received the package you need based on our records.

If you resided in Quebec on December 31, 2007, use the package for residents of Quebec to calculate your federal tax only. You will also need to file a Quebec provincial return.

Residential ties - These ties include where your home and personal property are, and where your spouse or common-law partner or dependants reside. Other ties that may be relevant include social ties, a driver's licence, bank accounts or credit cards, and provincial or territorial hospitalization insurance. For more details, see Interpretation Bulletin IT-221, Determination of an Individual's Residence Status.

Exceptions
In the following situations, you should use the package indicated:

A. If, on December 31, 2007, you had residential ties in more than one province or territory, use the package for the province or territory where you have your most important residential ties. For example, if you usually reside in Ontario, but you were going to school in Alberta or staying in a ski chalet in Quebec, you would use the package for Ontario.


B. If you are filing a return for a person who died in 2007, use the package for the province or territory where that person resided at the time of death.


C. If you emigrated from Canada in 2007, use the package for the province or territory in which you resided on the date you left. Mail your tax return to the International Tax Services Office, 2204 Walkley Road, Ottawa ON K1A 1A8.


D. If you lived outside Canada on December 31, 2007, but maintained significant residential ties with Canada, you may be considered a factual resident of Canada. Use the package for the province or territory where you kept your residential ties. You also have to complete Form T1248, Information about your residency status, and attach it to your return. Mail your tax return to:

International Tax Services Office
2204 Walkley Road
Ottawa ON K1A 1A8

If, under a tax treaty, you are considered to be a resident of another country, this may not apply. For more information, contact us.


E. Generally, if you did not maintain significant residential ties with Canada, and on December 31, 2007, you lived outside Canada and were a government employee, a member of the Canadian Forces or their overseas school staff, or working under a Canadian International Development Agency program, you may be considered a deemed resident of Canada. Use the package for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada. This also may apply to your dependent children and other family members.


F. If you stayed in Canada for 183 days or more in 2007, you did not establish significant residential ties (see previous section) with Canada, and, under a tax treaty, you were not considered a resident of another country, you will be considered a deemed resident of Canada. Use the package for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada.


G. If, throughout 2007, you did not have significant residential ties with Canada and neither E nor F applies, you may be considered a non-resident of Canada for tax purposes. Use the package for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada.


However, if you earned income from employment in a province or territory, or earned income from a business with a permanent establishment in a province or territory, use the package for that province or territory. Also, complete Form T1248, Information about your residency status, and attach it to your return.

Doh ... do you have to file a separate provincial return for Quebec?

Sorry .. I've not had any experience with that.

Maybe someone else here has ... or I'll try and look into later tonight.

Hi Zaurok,

The other post about the guides wasn't meant as a response to your questions here. I've been busy with work and didn't have a chance to look at this.

The quick answer, I believe you enter Quebec as province of residence and then put your departure date in. If this doesn't answer your question, I will try and help you later tonight.
