Non residence Declaration
I have applied for a fiancee visa and now I am waiting for the
interview. It said it would take from 3-12 weeks after they received
the checklist. Can anyone know if it will really take as long as 12
weeks? Last time when I called them they told me the interview will be
in August. Oh no, another long wait........
Now I have another question on my canadian citizenship. I am told that
I had to declare non residence in Canada. I called the Canadian
Immigration but they said they did not have any idea on that matter. I
really don't know where I should get the information from and what I
need to do about it.
Do I do the non residence decalration when I am in Canada, or do I do
that in US???
Thanks for your great help

Re: Non residence Declaration
The non-residency status in Canada is for tax purposes. You call the Revenue Canada or whatever it is called now for the form to complete. If you will have no income from Canada after you move, then getting non-resident status is not of importance.

One reason it might be useful to let them know you've left the country is
your medical insurance. I just recently found out that I had been billed
for medical premiums for the last 8 years (while living in the US) and never
knew it. Fortunately all was forgiven, but it would have been a whole lot
of money to owe!

Re: Non residence Declaration
I am going to work until August and I don't think the interview will be
somewhere before that. I have already done the tax return 2006 which
is every May in a year. So from May to August, I still have to pay tax
to Canada. Besides, the bank account I have in Canada are not expired
before I will leave for the U.S. I still need to pay the interest tax
to Canada before it expired.
So basically, I don't need to declare non-residence status to Canada at
all?
Thanks

Re: Non residence Declaration
Your tax year is like ours .. January 1 until December 31. The only difference is our filing date is April 15 and yours is May 15. You will have to file taxes in Canada for the monies you earned from January 1, 2006 until your quitting date. Since you will have been in Canada for more than 1/2 the year, you will file as a resident of Canada for your 2006 taxes. The taxes you just filed are for your 2005 earnings.
You DON'T declare non-residency status. You have to apply for it and your government will tell you if they decide you are a non-resident or not. I know it is strange isn't it.
PS I have gone through this with my Canadian husband.

Re: Non residence Declaration
Hi Rete,
Thanks for your clear explanation. I now have a clear picture.
However, when should I start applying for the non-residence?? As the
other messages posted, I would have to ask Revenue Canada about it, is
that correct?
Thank you

Re: Non residence Declaration
There is a form you can download and fill out and return to them. They in turn will make their decision and send you a correspondence with their decision. You can do it when you have come to the US and gotten married and have filed for AOS. There is no urgency to do it immediately.

Hmm. Did Canada change something while I wasn't looking? Normal Tax due date
was always April 30 (at least since I had to file, starting around '97).
