Canadian Credit for the US petitioner

[zyggy 9]

I belive JerseyGirl ahd a problem with Serbinski!! She had her taxes complted with them awhile back, and when she got audited, Sebrinski was no where to be found!! And YES I posted their linkon VJ many of a times!!! And this year I used my inlaws tax accountant (wife bday present) to do our USA taxes!! Why?? I took out RRSP's in 2006!! And was not certian how to do decalre it !! I had filed form 8891 to defer the tax on the RRSP's!! To be honest I have no clue (hey,I'm a guy) onhow to properly report the incoem fromther RRSP's to IRS!! My inlaws accouinting firm spent many an hour on how to do it!! (not at my expense,ty mother in law) and long story short, they disagreed with what "nelsona" had been posting on Sebrinski forum!!! So one can't go what that forum states, yes I'm sure there is good info on there, but like all forums (as well as wikipedia) it is not an accurate place to get info!! Just my 2 cents.

Karen - after all you and Joel went through, you're going to turn around and go back to Canada? :)

Well, if nothing else, I can tell you that sponsoring your spouse into Canada is a cakewalk compared to doing it in the US. No interminable delays, no interviews, no BS, just some paperwork, and you can do it from within Canada if you like.

No delays.. My friend is on 14 months in Canada and counting on an in-Canada Permanent Residence Application.. and unlike the US where you can apply for an EAD in the interim, she can't work... and on top of that she has to redo her immigration physical because they only allow it to be good for one year.. period.. if you're application is still processing.. oh well..

Far from a cakewalk my friend.. CIC makes USCIS look extremely efficient...

When I sponsored my ex-wife into Canada from WITHIN Canada, it was literally three months from the date of submission to the day she had papers in her hand, we drove to the US border, did a U-turn, and came back in. No interviews, no $1000 fees, no pointless RFE's, no USCIS BS.

Times have changed my friend... times have changed...

The fee for PR is now $1,200 (it used to be $1,600 until the Conservatives came in) and the fastest things are being approved is now 9 months.
