Continuing the duscussion on the software's for filing taxes in Canada as an Emigrant, found that there is nothing in Quicktax which helps me to pro-rate my deductions & credits based on the no. of days I lived in Canada. Nelsona, you had experience with Ufile.ca. Can you throw some light if Ufi...

Confliciting values for the car...2K in first para and 20K in second para. If I'm right then nothing has to be reported...(anything above 25K on T-1161)

Not an expert but here are my 2 cents. This is my personal view.... Your underlying assumption that the value of the property is going to go up in couple of yrs, does not convince me. In coming years the value of property is going to go south, therefore this would be the right time to sell it. Agree...

After reading and studying all the forms one thing has become very clear. Following example would clear it up. Hope my understanding is right on this matter. Say as a Canadian citizen you made 30K until say July 07 and then for the rest of the year you make 40K in USA. (say USD:CAD=1:1) You are fill...

Nelsona, Called the agent and he confirmed that there is no growth at all. She also confirmed that she can take instructions on phone or email to dissolve the whole account. My part of the contribution would go back to chequing account and Govt of Canada contribution would go back to them. No slips ...

I don't whether I m doing it right or not by posting on the same thread or not. But my apologies if I m offending someone. It was an RESP question and thought should be post in the same thread. Last day for RESP contributions. We just started it this year and the balance is around 1500 with both our...

I dont have any info on the fees. But you can check the cic.gc.ca site to see the more exact prices. But you are right, the fees is in that range....

In our case they had let us know right away what was the outcome. While answering the questions the officer is going to quiz you about things like marraige,where did u met, family members etc. They are just trying to do there job by verifying that whether this is a genuine marraige or a fake one. Ne...

Well I m not yet ready to spend say $2000 for filing my taxes. May be Mr. Mark S won't like this if he reads this, (i m just joking) but I m not going to put my brains to rest until I find a solution on my own. If not I can still pay $2000 and get it done.... For Canada for last 5 yrs I m using Intu...

Hi Nelsona, Looks like I m back to the drawing board... For all the income earned until Jul 2007 I would be filling my Canadian taxes. But as I m filling 1040 in US I would be declaring my world income and claiming foreign tax paid on that income. I came to two different forms. Form 1116 (foreign ta...

Friends, Timing is everything and therefore the following question. Wife (green card holder) has applied for a I-130 petition after we got married with the priority date of May 2003. Right now in the month of Dec 2007 they are processcing applications from Jan 2003. Can somebody enlighten me what wo...

Sorry I was not Ron, but I still answered the most of your question....lol

From the time you have filed to the time you would get a Permanant resident interview would take anywhere from 6 -9 months. I have seen spouses getting cleared in 5 months and also 9 months. After they issue you for an interview (ours was in Detroit), they are going to grill you on questions like wh...

I got confused today when I talked to IRS. AS I said before that I would be filling as a US resident.(1040) for married filling jointly for year 2007. My Canadian income was from Jan -jun 2007, and US income was from July onwards. I would be reporting my Canadian income in US and further taking a cr...

Well I could have informed CCRA that I m emmigrating if I would be knowing myself. I was thinking at that time to file taxes as Canadian and filling my world income in Canada. It was only after I had asked a question in this forum and later became clear that I would be filling as a US resident(1040)..
