Question about Revenue Canada???

[haga 0]

Hey guys,

I've been married to a US citizen for 5 years. I have my IR-1 interview in Montreal on Tuesday.

Ok now to my question. I have student loans here in Canada (OSAP) that I haven't started paying off yet as I've been a full time university student for a long time (been one for 10 years) and recently graduated. I plan on start making payments as soon as I start working in the US once I get approved (hopefully). So I received a phone call from Revenue Canada today. Unfortunately I couldn't receive it, so they left a message saying they are aware that I'm immigrating to the US and they will be sending me a letter regarding some personal issue.

So my question is, can Revenue Canada cause any type of problem that I might be expecting on my interview on Tuesday????

I don't have a criminal record, never been to court for any matter....so simply put no criminal ties whatsoever. I don't think my financial history is that relevant, as the process already asked for financial guarantees which were provided by my wife. I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong here, so if there's anything I should look out for, please do let me know.

I've never come across this problem before but I don't see how Revenue Canada can cause you any problems. Why would they be calling about a student loan? It doesn't make sense. And how would they even know that you are emmigrating? A lot of us, including me, still deal with Revenue Canada due to financial ties to the country but they've never given me a problem about being here. In fact, it's old news to them. I think your concerns are unfounded.

I agree what does canada revenue have to do with a student loan? You have nothing to worry about they are probably just calling to tell you they will not be giving you anymore money. I am guessing but if you changed your marital status they tend to check up on you. I lost my child tax and gst when I got married to my husband because they thought I had already moved to the states. It took me 5 months to get it back and Now I should be immigrating in a few weeks (crosses fingers)

I am sure they will call you back if its important and I dont think the states care what loans you have haha.

Just checking to make sure its not a problem.

Its taken so long to come this far, I don't want there to be any more delays.

Thanks for the replies guys.
