    I rented a Uhaul and drove it from around Milton to Long Island, NY. I rented it for 4 days. They gave me 662 miles allowance. I did around 580-600. Rental charge was $991. There was a coverage that I bought for $75 called Safe Move. Total Charges were $1066 without taxes, Around $1200 including taxes. I drove the Uhaul in January so from Canada all the way through Upstate, roads were mostly covered with snow. But the truck was in a good condition and I had no issues at all. Just make sure you take lots of pictures at the time of pick up and drop off so they do not charge you for anything later.

    Yes you can bring it upto the security point. Then they will ask you to put in the security lockers (depending on availability).

    Hi All, I recently got approval of my IR1 visa and if I land around December 20th. Would I have to file taxes in USA for the year 2022? I am a Canadian citizen moving to the US.

    Oh wow that wouldn't have been a fun transaction at all. It is impossible to close my primary house before my upcoming trip in 4 weeks that involves a US transit. I think best option would be just to ask the US border agents to grant me entry as a visitor and not as a landed immigrant. Hopefully they approve that. Thank you. Will def hire a cross border accountant. Any recommendations?

    Intent is to move to the US ofcourse. As I mentioned just need a couple of months to wrap things up. Seems like US PR does not have the benefits as dual citizens do. Thanks for clarifying. What about taxes? Once I land as a US PR, and my property gets sold after, do I need to pay any taxes to the US? Since here in Canada there are no taxes if you sell your primary residence.

    Yes, but in this case, I am not living in the US. I intend to do immigrant landing and come back to Canada while still continuing to do my job, pay taxes, mortgage (until I sell the house) and bills. People living in border cities live in Canada and work in the US. Though there US employers might provide them with insurance, but you are saying they are not covered in Canada even though they live and pay taxes in Canada too? Since their primary residence is Canada. (check commuter status)

    I don't think clinic/hospitals would know tbh. But I have heard the issue comes up when you are doing your taxes later. I am still confused though. Dual citizenship is allowed in these two countries and alot of people commute back/forth with their US green card who live in border cities and use Canadian healthcare.

    Yikes thats not good. I just dont want to lose healthcare benefits until I am permanently moving which will be a couple of more months. I know there has been alot of discussion on it in the past and I know a few people personally who got their immigration visa stamped and continued to live in Canada for a few more months while accessing the residential benefits since they technically did "not move". So confusing lol!
