Hi all
I came to the us to see if we were meant to be together and found that we did not want to be apart. I purchased a property as it was economically a better way to go than renting.
We did get married and applied for a change of residency which is still pending. As time was dragging out waiting for work permits etc money was getting tight and we decided as my wife has close family members with health issues that we would sell my property in Canada. This is where the problem begins. I get blind sided by an apparent rule from the CRA that they were going to hold 25% of the gross sale price of my property. No heads up from any of the professionals until the deal is done.
in trying to get answers I found one other person this had happened to and was informed it was horrible they took the money and sat on it until the taxes were filed for the year in which it was sold. In my case this will leave me in a horrible situation for possibly over a year. I don't think at this point I can do anything but if this helps anyone else I am glad.
Any comments would be appreciated Thx
