Just because they do--does not mean they are competent!! in Arlington VA--I talked with their USA/Canada EXPERT---he was clueless, so ensure you do some research on your own. Doing Your Canada taxes is very simple, I'm sure most tax programs can handle it. On the hard copy (1st page) is a place where you enter the date you CEASED to be considered a Cdn resident. Calculations are based on that--which the computer program would handle! Lot of info down below.

Lot of info here:http://forums.serbinski.com/viewforum.php?f=2

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Yes he is a grump!!

When you do your USA taxes---don't forget to report any RRSP's you have still back in Canada--on form 8891 I believe. And I do believ you have to notify whoever holds ur RRSP's (bank etc) that ur moving to the USA

Flames9_R,

thanks for your hint on the taxes, but I havent worked till NOW, and my husband will declare me joint with him when he does his. Do I still have to report RRSP's?

What is RRSP's??? Forgive my ignorance :bonk:

Thanks

RRSP's are Registered Retirement Savings Plans for Canada. IIRC you were only a PR in Canada for a short while right? So your taxes are probably gonna be straightforward.

My Toronto medical exam review. Note: the office has moved and some procedures have changed since my exam.

My detailed review of K1 Montreal interview for August 11th 2011.
