yes will follow up with swiss social security at retirement time thanks

as per above i have cashed out my pension and getting ready to transfer it to canada. nervous about currency loss and all.

best to run it by a professional if you feel the form is not asking for the right information-surprised to read that T1135 is so complicated.

Hi any information on the interview for nexus card ? There seem to be some updates but not so clear if an interview is needed.

I'm not either and then the question is where the stuff would be stored in the meantime.

On a related note, I have a question. If I move my goods back and put them into storage or so and then do not permanently return to Canada until a later date (to travel and visit relatives in Latin America for instancce) would my tax residency in Canada begin on the date I return or the date I put t...

oh ok thats what you meant.

should not be any issues just that the forms with the information needed seems to be new. No idea what you mean by returning resident forms though.

Hi I realize that when clearing customs upon returning to Canada there is a B4 form for inventory list. It actually asks for the date of departure and of course arrival so i wonder if they ie the CRA match this with the date on the departure return. Sounds pretty much they might do that. So hopefull...

thanks JC.
