Don’t know about the junior version...

Re: 2024 Canada tax - accountant let us down

Re: PR card renewal

I have just started the process and assume 6 months is the wait time. As I recall, last time I did not hear of any progress for 5 months.

Sorry, I did not take any further action with GTN. I decided to liquidate the UK funds and transfer them all to Canada.

Re: Bringing money from house sale proceeds (UK) into Canada
