Finally done as of yesterday!!!

Completed biometrics on 2/7 because of a snow closure on my scheduled date of 2/4. Can someone please update this?

Bummer. My biometrics appointment was also cancelled due to the weather. ASC never opened up and there was a sign on the door last night saying that if it hadn't opened by 8 am, they would be closed all day due to inclement weather. Called the 800 number in the morning and found out they were closed. They said that they'd send me a new notice but I'll just try and get it done on Monday by walking in.

Please edit ours, we sent it in on 1/3/11. NOA1 dated 1/6/11. Received biometrics letter today for 2/4/11.

Actually there are 5 POE's into the State of Washington. You forgot the Osoyoos, BC..

Actually, there are far more than 5.

In east-to-west order, the highway crossings are:

SR-31/BC-6, Pend Oreille County (near Metaline Falls, WA)-Kelway, B.C.

SR-25/BC-22, Stevens County (near Northport, WA)-near Rossland, B.C.

US-395/BC-395, Laurier, WA-Cascade, B.C.

SR-21/BC-41, Danville, WA-Grand Forks, B.C.

US-97/BC-97, Oroville, WA-Osoyoos, B.C.

SR-9/BC-11, Sumas, WA-Abbotsford, B.C.

SR-539/BC-13, Lynden, WA-Aldergrove, B.C.

SR-543/BC-15, Blaine, WA-Surrey, B.C.

I-5/BC-99, Blaine, WA-Surrey, B.C.

There are also a handful of crossings that are not highway crossings, including at least one each in Stevens, Ferry, and Okanogan counties, as well as the popular Point Roberts crossing in Whatcom county.

I'm sure the OP was only interested in the four that they mentioned as they are all very close to one another. Of those, I have used the SR-543 crossing many times, and have found it to be courteous.

Add me in, we mailed ours out today. Nice to see y'all around here again. Ready for another round of fun?

Yay! Thank you all for your input!

I just called the rental car company, and they said they don't care; that it would be up to Canada Customs. Should I be fine?

Canadian citizen, GC holder, Valid US DL. Domicile in US. Is it allowed to drive a U.S. rental car into Canada for a vacation?

Thank you guys! I am not planning on earning any interest since I just want a checking account and a line of credit. I closed these when I left Canada but I wish I hadn't now.

For convenience related reasons, I'd like to re-open a bank account and/or line of credit in Canada. Will this cause me to have to start filing Canadian tax returns again?

sponsor on assets such as shares, savings, property etc (you will need 3 times as much as the 125%poverty level)

If the poverty guideline is $18,212, does this mean that you only need to show $54,636 of assets if you have no income?

Tax Questions:

(1.) For those of you electing under Section 217 in Canada, which non-resident withholding rate did you input on the CRA Schedule C?

(2.) How do you fill out IRS form 1116?

Thanks...

I got my green card in the mail a week ago today! It's all over!!!

Thank you so much, Texanadian.

Hey everyone, I have a few tax questions...I hope someone can help because I'm lost. I've tried reading the info in other threads but I can't seem to find the answers that relate to my specific scenario

I moved from Canada to the US on a K-1 in October 2008. We got married in October 2008. I have Canadian employment income from January-October of 2008, then EI payments that I received in 2008 after I was in the United States. I don't have a green card yet; but I did get the Welcome to the United States letter a few days ago.

Anyway, here's the questions that I have...

- Am I a non-resident, a deemed non-resident, or what?

- Where is the link to find the proper Canadian T1 form that I have to fill out?

- Do I add my employment income to the EI income and submit all that, or does the EI income not need to be reported because the non-resident tax has already been deducted?

- After I send this tax return to Canada CRA, do I ever have to correspond with them again?

- What forms do I need for my US return? My US spouse didn't work in 2008 and all we have for income is interest income, capital gains (stock market), and the 2008 EI I received from Canada after I moved here.

Thank you so much for the help!

Anyone?

Hi, I have a few questions. A pretty standard scenario, but I'm lost.

I moved from Canada to the US on a K-1 in October 2008. We got married in October 2008. I have Canadian employment income from January-October of 2008, then EI payments that I received after I was in the United States. I don't have a green card yet; the interview for that is later this month.

1. Where is the link to find the proper Canadian T1 form that I have to fill out?

2. Am I a non-resident, a deemed non-resident, or what?

3. Do I add my employment income to the EI income and submit all that, or does the EI income not need to be reported because the non-resident tax has already been deducted?

4. After I send this tax return to Canada CRA, do I ever have to correspond with them again?

5. What forms do I need for my US return? My wife didn't work in 2008 and all we have for income is interest income, capital gains (stock market), and the EI I received from Canada after I moved here.

Thank you so much for the help!

MY EAD CARD HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the interview date for 3/31/2009!!!!!

Still no EAD. Went to an INFOPASS appointment last week and they said that the card production would be ordered and to wait 1-2 weeks. Still waiting.

I'm with you CourtandGrey. Looking at your signature there was probably a big delay while you dealt with that RFE, that's probably why you still don't have it.

As for me, I got my AP earlier, but I'm STILL waiting for EAD. It's getting very close to the 90-day limit for me now.

Congratulations Canadianmade!

I received the AP document today! Is it supposed to not be stamped under "National Benefits Center Parole Stamp"?

Thanks Canadianmade!

I had my biometrics today, finally. It went pretty smoothly. No AP in the mail yet, though, just the email that I received.

Thanks CourtAndGrey!
