Confused Situation. Got GC, entered US, but no US income
Alright, my situation is somewhat complicated, so I need your help please. Sorry it will be long, but I need to explain it. I applied for a green card through my wife. We lived in Canada, where I had a job and she was not a resident, she was just living with me waiting for me to get my green card. S...

I now have much bigger problem, I cannot open locked-in RRSP to transfer my pension there. They want me to come to the branch, and I am 10000km away, which makes it difficult to come to ...

For now, I have no income and will not have any income (in fact I am travelling in South America) for the rest of 2014, so ONLY ...
