So I am reading it wrong then? It says it is a tax credit (not a deduction) that he receives - does that not mean that he owes $11,800 less tax when I have no income?

Re: Do my children need a British passport to visit the UK on holiday?

Good to know - we just renewed hers as it was only a 5 yr one, but ours will be due for renewal in a few years. Had to book an appointment months in advance for a renewal for her as there’s no...

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline

Ours was 13 months - but we informed them we were out of the country for a few weeks mid-way through the process so I think they probably put it on hold or pushed it to the back of the queue and that...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony

They take the PR card from you, it’s no longer valid anyway, but they do not take away the COPR document. As tihs is your confirmation of landing in Canada it is used for pension purposes (my friend...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony

We took our PR cards and our COPR. You would have been issued one when your PR was confirmed and used it for when you landed.

Re: What Pop Concerts do you remember attending?

Agreed, Canada is huge and diverse - but to not even want to leave the province of Manitoba for a look elsewhere (or to let your child experience a change of scenery) I can’t understand.

I agree -I think it’s in the blood as a British expat to want to be able to be free to wander as we wish. Just being without a valid passport for a month when we were waiting for our Canadian one was...

Re: The new winter thread - 2018-19

You can go right off some folk you know :sneaky:
On the plus side it is beautiful when the snow shines on the sparkling snow - and the south facing windows keep the heating bill down.
