Landing for US resident living part-time in US

I have received landing papers for myself and my 17 yr old and 20 yr old sons. I currently live in the US 40 mins from the border with Ontario and i have worked as a doctor for the last 5 years in Kingston, Ontario. My girlfriend lives in Toronto and for the last 2 years, I have lived with her part-time, 5 days out of each 2 week period. I am due to land in Canada by March 18, 2015, but I am not sure how things will work going forward. A anticipate moving in with my girlfriend full-time but not for another 2 years when my youngest son will go to university. I still watch my children the days that I am not in Canada. Pretty complicated, eh? lol
1. Can I continue to use a car plated and insured in NY State until I move permanently to Canada as long as I list it as a possession coming into Canada with my later, say within 2 years time?
2. What is the best way to avoid getting flagged when I come across the border on my way to work during the time I am watching my boys in the US?
3. My 17 yr old is planning on going to university in Ontario starting in fall 2015. Any issues with this I might be missing?
4. My 20 yr old will stay in the US for now, but may decide to attend college in fall 2015 as well. Any issues with this?
5. When I am in the US, I commute to work on most days, go into Canada by car in the morning and back to US in the evening. Currently I use a NEXUS car when I do that. When I present my NEXUS car, will my PR status come up on their computers and result in flagging of me? Will I have trouble in the morning with border personnel forcing me to come into the office to answer questions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
