I was preparing my application for PRTD. I am not worried about RO since landed few months back. Now when I contacted the VFS ABU dhabi, they have sent a supplementary form. This form has Questions such as


Applications without this form will be returned unprocessed.

1) If you are currently residing outside Canada, are you permanently relocating to Canada on this trip?
If yes , please provide details______________________

2) How many years have you resided in Gulf? __years_____months

3) What is the expiry date of your residence visa?
Country of issue:___________ Expiry date (dd/mm/yyyy)

4) What is the sponser`s name indicated on your residence visa?

I am wondering why such a form is required, and is it required for Abu Dhabi VFS only?

PR Card - Courier outside Canada

I want to ask if it is illegal to send PR cards by courier?
My PR cards are with my Uncle, and he is not convinced that it is legal.
He advised me to apply for PRTD, which we are planning to do.
We have two questions

1) Is there a way to legally prove to my uncle that it is not illegal to courier my PR cards to me?
2) We landed a few months back and I had to go back to finish my PhD, now my family and me are applying for PRTD document, is there any reason why they could refuse PRTD document?

I would really thank for help regarding this matter. Thanks a lot.

Topic:
Tax Residency

Hi,

I am asking this question since I am still not clear, although I have asked this questions on different forums. Please bear with me.

So we landed in Canada as PR in December 2018 stayed there till few days in January 2019. I had to come back to complete my PhD dissertation and so my wife and daughter came back with me without our PR cards. When we were there we did following.

1) Got our SIN numbers
2) opened bank accounts
3) got g1 licenses.

Now, I called CRA regarding tax residency they advised me to file taxes for the four days we lived in Canada in December 2018. After that they advised me to submit NR-73 form to CRA to understand my tax residency. I might actually be able to finish my pending tasks and move in December 2019 permanently. We did not apply for health coverage, or we do not expect any benefits from Canada before we move there permanently. We are not using our bank accounts as well except for the first deposits. Now when I try to follow what CRA agent told me, I open CRA website and try to register my account and pay the taxes and file my tax return. However, it is not proceeding any further.

I am really stressed because of this situation. I do not mind paying taxes if I have to pay them. However, I do not want to pay taxes if it is not required from me, since I am not resident in Canada physically mentally emotionally etc so far. Even when I tried to pay taxes for the four days I lived in Canada in 2018, the CRA is not letting me open an account. Please kindly advise me what to do. I do not want to get into any legal trouble regarding taxes. Thank you so much in advance.

Now the second question is about bank accounts. What would happen if I dont use them for a year? Because when I move I have to transfer settlement funds to my account first. That was the intention to open the accounts in the first place. Thank you so much for all the help.

Yes, but my uncle is asking for some proof. He is expecting something from IRCC, for instanse calling them and asking the agents. Ofcourse IRCC although did not say anywhere(that i could find till date) that it is illegal, still they will never endorse the practice for obvious reasons. I have currently no choice but to apply for prtd.

Hi,

We did soft landing recently, by mistake we took the test for g1 driving license and opened bank accounts.

We left Canada in 10 days.

In order to sever all ties, we wish to cancel our driving license and close the bank accounts.

What is the procedure for cancellation of driving license and how to close bank accounts?
