Dear Mr. Ingram,
How much do you charge for questions on legal and tax status? Do you accept
credit card?
Last year, on Apr-30-2003, I landed as a Canadian Permanent Resident. I
stayed 3 nights at a hotel, applied for SIN, and on the 4th day I returned
to work in the US ever since. I applied for and received both my Maple Leaf
Card and SIN card. But I did not apply for anything else, like a Canadian
Driver's License, Health Insurance, or bank account. I'm a single, and
except for those 4 days, I lived and worked in the US (TX) through out 2003.
For Canadian tax purpose, am I a resident or non-resident? Do I have to file
Canadian tax return for 2003, and pay the difference between the two
countries? Legally, since the new Immigration Act requires only 2 years
physical residence for citizenship during the 5 years as a PR, does the PR
have to report and pay Canadian tax for the 3 years working and linving in
US? Would there be any issue reentering Canada 3 years after landing? Would
three years' tax returns suffice to prove one's intent to return and retain
'residency' for Canadian purposes.

david ingram replies:
I charge $350.00 Canadian for the type of consultation you require.
I would also advise you to file a Canadian Return even though it is not required. There would not likely be any tax because I would exempt your US earnings under the Treaty.
This would keep Canada informed of your intention to live here.
AND, you should not have any trouble returning in less than 36 months.
