>> Submit the TD1 the first day you arrive at work (or before), using your home address.

thanks i will do that (using my chicago address). however still trying to wrap my head around why i cannot use my temp address on the TD1, as even as you mentioned earlier, it is only seen and kept by the ...

ok, i think i understand all of this now. so if my business trip only lasts until "march" i should be fine, right?

so in terms of payroll is it ok to have my cheque mailed to my temp address in canada, so i can easily cash them? the alternative would be having them mailed/deposited to my american ...

> Why would you want your employer to send you anything to anywhere otherthan than your home address.

i guess just convenience. it almost sounds like having a temp address in canada is dangerous. im not sure why -- or even how CRA would be aware of this temp address. and i just read that you have ...

ok. good to know that the employer keeps the td form.

and i was not referring to the cra sending me something in the mail, but rather my employer. i know here in the us at the end of january i get sent my statement of earning for the prior year. i figured canada does the same thing. they may as ...

Yes, I meant TD1 all along.

Yes, contract-to-hire means employee.

Yes, I live in the US. But I guess I wanted to put my corporate apartment address in canada on the TD1 form, even though I am non-resident. i mean the government will need to send me something in the mail next year right when i ...

by the way nelson -- looking at the T1 again:

there is a spot i will put my temporay canadian address, a spot i indicate that i am non-resident, and a spot where i put my social ins. number.

when the cra sees my sin attached, wouldnt that mean that they will be expecting a tax return from me for the current year and i would officially be “back on the radarâ€￾?

man this stuff is complicated.

roger that.

i just received the paper work today from my employer, and this all seems clear now. there is a section on the TD1, where i indicate that i am a non-resident (i'll put USA).

so it seems all i need to do then next year is:

1) file my can tax return, but claim i am a visitor/non ...

hi again nelson.

i will be making just under 10K a month, so it looks like my first two months (Dec 09, Jan 10), will be my tax free or tax withheld months as you said. come feb 2010 i will be over this 10k limit, and have to start paying CAN taxes. do i have this right?

i really like the sound of ...

nelson thanks again for the posting. good advice. clarification: you said

My refernce to temp housing is to show that you are not re-establishing residential ties in canada which would make you taxable in canada on world income. [b]You continue to live in canada. [/b]

thanks nelson for the rapid follow-up. this is good to know.

so when i drive through the border crossing, with my one piece of luggage, i will tell them that i am coming up for a 'visit', and show my canadian passport. and that's that right? do i really need to have the 'i am coming up here for ...

hi all, adam here. great forum, so pardon my ignorance.

am a dual/can citizen living and working in chicago. my contract ended here in chicago in october, and am thinking of taking an interesting 3 month contract up in toronto, as much as my wife hates the idea. i doubt they will renew me past feb ...
