family I need to show Canadian Income so if I file this tax can I
sponsor my family in Canada?
I appericiate your help.

If you are single I presume you are talking about sponsoring
your parents.
You have to live in Canada to sponsor parents and at the moment
there is a 22 year wait.
They (the Immigration Department) are approving 6,000 parents
a year and there are over 110,000 applications pending making a
22 year waiting list.
If you are single and working in the US, you have 36 months from
when you received your card, to move to Canada or it will be
revoked as another fellow from Singapore found out in another
similar email today,.
If you get this in time, you can call me on Sirius Radio in the
morning. The Thursday time has been changed to about 9:30 AM
LA/Vancouver time Tomorrow - Friday Jan 27, 2006.
listen to David Ingram most Thursdays on Channel 114 Sirius
Radio The Good Life with Jesse Dylan Daily at 12 noon New York
time - david Ingram International Income Tax expert - real estate
IRA's 401(K)
Friday Jan 30, 2006 will be at about 9:30 AM Vancouver
time, 12:30 PM Manhattan time.
You can listen live on Channel 114 of your Satellite Radio or
listen to the stream on www.lime.com. You have to have the
latest version of Real Player to listen live on the Internet. You
can get the latest version free by going to

After you are up to date, you can listen to the live program by

If you are in Canada and have a question to ask and want to email
it to me in advance, we will try and use it on the air and if
not, I will make a real effort to answer it by email.
But better would be a phone call if you live in the USA.
Yep, a live free phone call is available from anywhere in The
United States (not Canada yet) at 1-866-LIME-114 or
1-866-546-3114
Now, I do not have to tell you that if you want this service
available in the future, support now would be nice. Help me show
those Manhattan types that there is a real demand for a Canadian
to be answering US tax questions with particular emphasis on
those Cross-Border or out of country questions. Thousands of tax
consultants can answer a child tax credit but not many can deal
with foreign tax credits and earned income exemptions and a
foreign vacation home or foreign bank accounts or that foreign
pension you still have after an American works in Australia, or
Algeria or Spain or Canada
