Hi, 

 

I got summoned for Jury Duty. I live in the U.S. now as a LPR and I'm curious if anyone else has been in this situation before where they got summoned for Jury Duty in their previous country? I contacted the courthouse via e-mail requesting an exemption but they haven't replied yet. I also tried calling but it always goes to voicemail. Hopefully someone replies... It's in one month...

I know in Alberta it took a while before I received a notice back saying that I was excused due to my profession.

Can you share how you got notified?  I was trying to do some research recently as to how I need to notify the government of a US address / non-resident status.

I believe once you cancel your OHIP your name should be taken off official Ontario records, though this could vary by province. In my case, I canceled my OHIP in December and still got summoned.

That's what I was afraid of.  Did you get the notification at a US address, or a from a (former) Canadian address?  I ask, because I plan to sever all ties as part of my immigration, and not really have any Canadian address any longer.
