Topic:
Insurance Scam - How do I report it?

user
user
Mark Roberts from Havlock Financial will call you and say you quality for a $20,000 loan after you apply on-line with CashLoaner.ca, but you need to purchase credit protection insurance which is 10% of the loan.

He tells you to send it western union but use Jonathan Noah as the contact instead of Mark.

This is a scam he uses the number 416-402-4529

He needs to be stopped.

How do I report this?

My sister has a 9 years old daughter and my friend wants to marry her, adopt her daughter and bring them both to canada

So we would like to know if:

1. Does he has to marry my sister in Colombia before doing the application for family sponsorship

2. Does has to legally adopt the child first in Colombia before doing the application for family sponsorship

thanks a lot

Approval in Principle Letter - How much longer?

user
user
Hi all,

I am being sponsored by my husband here within Canada.

I got a letter stating that we got approval in principle. With that letter I have already applied for OHIP.

I would like to apply for an Open Work Permit but a few days earlier I already applied to renew my Visitor Visa.

Does anyone know what I can do?

Also, does anyone know how long it could/may possibly be until PR?

Thanks!

Landing from South Korea

Hello KSDL,

Thank you for sharing your situation with us.

When entering Canada, visitors landing in Canada for the first time will have different procedures than Canadians returning to Canada. Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) officers enforce immigration policies set by Citizenship and Immigration Canada at the border. For health notices, Public Health Canada issues advisories and travel protocols. Upon arrival, CBSA officers will enforce all travel health protocols issued by Public Health Canada.

According to Public Health Agency of Canada, the MERS-CoV virus is rated by Public Health Canada as a level 1 risk at this time, which means that it poses a low risk to public health and safety in Canada. The Agency is not advising any travel restrictions related to this event at this time.

For current and country specific information contact your nearest Canadian embassy.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Go to U.S without PR card- Can He Re-enter Canada?

user
user
Hello,

My friend just got canadian PR and will be landing in Toronto next month. I understand that it will take 2 months to get the PR card. He already have USA visa and we would like to go to USA to attend a function next month for 5 days but I am confused whether he can enter back to Canada as he does not have PR card. He might have only the landing paper. Is it sufficient to re-enter back to Canada from USA?

Thanks for your help.

When can I Sponsor my Parents?- PR since June 2015

user
user
Hello,

I landed in Canada as a permanent resident in June 2015, and has been gainfully employed since I arrived. Assuming that PGP program continues to accept applications, how soon can I sponsor my parents?

CIC website mentioned a need to submit documents for three taxation years. Does that mean I can only sponsor parents after three years?

Thanks in advance.

Completing the B4 Forms - Questions

user

Hi,

Recently I have been granted Canada PR and planning to move to Canada by end of this year. I was filling B4 form but have confusion. Please clarify me the following details:

1. I am an Indian currently residing in Amsterdam, so do I need to fill my current Amsterdam Address in Importer Address Section?
The address in the Importer Address section must be a Canadian address.
2. What country do I have to write in Country of export section as I will be moving to Canada from Amsterdam directly?

3. In “Additional List of Goods” there are 3 options, please explain which one to choose.

4. After a year or so I will go to India and may bring some more goods, do I need to mention the list of goods that I will bring from India in future?

Awaiting for your early response

Competitive Curriculum At Elementary Public School

user

Hello

From hear say I got to know that there are some exclusive schools just for children who could do exceptionally well in their written Maths and English tests. Somehow I could not find them in Frasier institute ratings as these gifted schools are already exclusive. Please can you throw some light as to how we can prepare our children for such competitive exams and entrance tests. Do we access to some site which has such mock exams for the child to get some feel of it. She is in grade 3 Indian Curriculum in Dubai. Can you guide us with the syllabus that they would test on for Grade 4? Awaiting your reply asap. Thanks suresh

Finance -Taxation - Global Income

Hello,

I just finished my landing procedures. Since I have to file my tax return next Apr 30th, I got some pertinent questions:

1. My husband would still be working in dubai until he gets some job in Canada. So we are aware of global tax on income. So what will be my husbands residency status in that case....is it non resident, factual resident, PR, deemed resident? If at all he is taxed on his income like any other resident canadian , are we eligible for pension plan scheme? do we enjoy all the benefits of paying tax as a normal canadian inspite of working outside canada? Awaiting your reply asap. thanks and regards
