HI Sir, Thanks for a quick reply. I am in US for 4 years on H1B and I am single. I got my PR in March last year. In order to sponsor my family I need to show Canadian Income so if I file this tax can I sponsor my family in Canada? I appericiate your help. Thanks ------------------------------------ david ingram replies: 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.

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 David Ingram's US/Canada Services US / Canada / Mexico tax, Immigration and working Visa Specialists US / Canada Real Estate Specialists Home office at: 4466 Prospect Road North Vancouver, BC, CANADA, V7N 3L7 Cell (604) 657-8451 - (604) 980-0321 Fax (604) 980-0325 Calls welcomed from 10 AM to 10 PM 7 days a week (please do not fax or phone outside of those hours as this is a home office) email to taxman at centa.com www.centa.com www.david-ingram.com Disclaimer: This question has been answered without detailed information or consultation and is to be regarded only as general comment.
