Apologies: that's a very sloppy typo. I sort of ran two sentences in my mind together when they hit the page. Will be more careful in future! Before immigrating to the US a few years ago I had a C$ checking a/c and a US$ checking a/c at my CDN bank. When I moved to US I closed the US$ a/c but left t...

In the short term, I'm doing it through a family member. Eventually I'll get back to Canada and set up a US$ checking account. What is remarkable is that I have a C$checking account and the same bank will not let me set up a US$ checking account unless I walk into the branch in Canada. Amerinuck, I ...

Depositing U.S. dollar check drawn on CDN bank into U.S bank
Apologies in advance if this question is inappropriate: It's simply transactional, not really about tax or accounting. I've got a U.S. dollar checking account at one of the big 5 Canadian banks from when I lived there. I haven't dipped into it since immigrating to U.S. a few years ago. It's got a fe...

PayPal
Thaks, Amerinuck, I was a little bass ackwards because I was looking at PayPal US. I went to PyaPal Canada and it looks like if I have an account at PayPal Canada I can txr money to friends and family in the US but it incurs a fee (on top of the forex trade) of about 1.02% that has no cap. I.e. a $1...

PayPal
This post is a little off topic, but if you have a PayPal account you may be able to advise. I've read elsewhere than an effective way to transfer C$ from Canada into US$ in the US is via PayPal. But I don't quite see it. Can I just set up a Canadian PayPal /c and a US PayPal a/c and transfer money?...

Thanks as always. Not that I expect anything dramatic to happen, but I'm very grateful I got my green card last year and nobody knows where the next pink slip will land do they? If I end up out on my kiester, it's nice to know I can look for work outside the Obama Nation, too, and return when the re...

I am amazed that they require you to renounce Canadian citizenship. I had a Canadian friend, in Canada, working for a Canadian engineering company's Canadian office, that was working on a US DOD project that required very high-security clearance. I was surprised at this, but he told me that U.S. law...

I get the drift from the thread that the questioners are Canadian citizens returning to work in Vancouver or Edmonton. If so, would this [u][i]increase[/i][/u] or [u][i]decrease[/i][/u] the risk of US CBP questioning them upon return to U.S, compared to if they were (e.g.) Indian citizens with U.S. ...

I-140 ok'd, not I-485, H1-B expired, no AP yet: Travel ok?
I know this is not kosher, but I wanted to get informal feedback: I'll hold nobody responsible for their advice! My 1-140 was approved on July 31, 2008, but I-485 still not adjudicated. My H1-B will expire in September and my AP will not be ok'd until early 2009. I want to travel to Canada for Chris...
