Yes. Federal would be added to the Provincial for the total income tax.


In addition to the tax, CPP and EI would still be deducted too.
Union dues would also be deducted if the job is unionized.

Good evening all. Great thread here. I've already read and learnt so much.
My Passport is in Accra. They are busy taking their time.
I hope to land 2nd May, if them gree expedite.
My wife is in Calgary already on a PGWP that's supposed to expire on 5/5/18- (tied to the expiry date on her former passport; but she's only used one year of the 3 years it's supposed to be).
I hope her landing will not be complicated. I hope she wont be asked to travel and come back and land?
Also, should there be any issues if I cant make it before that date and her work permit and visa expires? Her passport is also in Accra.

Any Architects in the house? What's the professional transition experience been like? I've seen the credential registration process on CACB and it's not beans. What jobs can architects do while trying to get certified? I'm quite good with CAD.
I've looked at doing some quick- PM, HSE etc courses after landing and seen they don't have all this our Naija 2 weekends PMP, and certificate courses can take half of ones landing funds.
No mind my plenty question- Any info i can get will be useful. Builders and engineers- Pls also help. We are professional brothers.

Anyone with info on living in Kamloops BC? I intend to start a Pgd program at Thompson rivers Uni, next year. How easy is it to transit from Kamloops to Calgary. I may leave my family in Calgary during the pgd.

Thanks

Hi Everyone, we received a request yesterday to submit our passport for COPR. We have 15 days from yesterday to forward the passports to ACCRA and our medicals will expire April 5th and we are require to be in Canada before that date. We submitted our application on the 18th of April, 2017.

Our worry now is that we are not sure our passports will be processed within this very short period and besides we are honestly not prepared to leave within this short notice. Truth be told, we had given up because it was taking forever for them to conclude the process and we committed ourselves to a whole lot of other things. My spouse is very engage with work at the moment and by virtue of his position at work, he will have to give at least 6 months notice prior resignation.

We intend to request for extension of our medicals validity or perhaps go for another medicals but we are not sure if it is possible and how to go about it. Our thought when we applied was that the visa will be approved within six months and that will give my spouse enough time to notify his employer.

Experts in the house, your guidance on how to handle the situation will be most appreciated.

Hi guys

Pls does anyone have an idea of any ‘newcomer or volunteer’ services in Mississauga, Ontario that can help with filing taxes for last year?
My tax situation for last year is not complicated, that’s when we landed.
Not exactly willing to do it myself online cos it’s the first time, would love to get it done professionally. Subsequently, I’ll do it myself with TurboTax.

Thanks

good news. Well, submit your passport to Accra and see if you get your passport back before this month ends. However, email accra as well as cpc ottawa about your medicals expiry date. You can also attach a cover letter when you are sending your passport explaining same. If you do get your copr before medicals expires I would advice that you do a short landing. It's just less complicated. He doesnt have to stay long. He can arrive today and leave tomorrow pretty easy. You can do same or choose to stay back and wait for or cards before returning.

I have PR visa but will not be landing till May. I have just applied to renew my US visa, I felt it was better for me to renew from Nigeria as I intend to go to the US on a road trip within weeks to getting to Canada, I may not have acquired sufficient employment history if I wait to renew when I land. I also still have the opportunity of using my current employment, pay stubs and account balance etc for the renewal. I am not scared of a refusal, it’s not the first US visa that I have gotten while on my job. Since I have not landed yet I cannot be said to be resident in Canada.

If it’s not a first visa, your concern should be what is more convenient and what works best for you.

I think the only implication this has is that you would need to redo another medicals before you go

A555:


Yes. Got a specific question?

Hello A555,

I am about to apply for US visa via dropbox but I am kinda worried that the Canada immigrant visa might affect the application.

Pls did you apply via dropbox or did you go for an interview?
Was your visa application approved?
On the DS-160 form, how did you answer the question of if you are a PR of another country?

My immigrant visa expires in June, I will be landing in May.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Had to go in for an interview because my previous US visa was a student visa, so I couldn't use dropbox. Visa was approved, and for the DS-160 form, I answered no to the question on PR of another country.

Technically, you're not a PR until you arrive in Canada, so your answer should be no.

The only thing I would suggest is that you make sure you apply early enough, so you get your passport back in good time not to affect your May landing plans. I had to reschedule my flights to Canada because my passport came back a day after my original travel plans. And i wasn't happy spending hard earned money to change flight plans when I would have had no qualms getting the visa on this end.

I am living few hours away from Kamloop. Kamloops is a relatively small city with good weather. Kamloops is not a big city. Living cost is not that expensive at least compared to Kelowna. You can transit from Kamloops to Calgary probably through greyhound bus. If you are going to drive your own car, it is about 7hrs 30mins drive.

Hi,
Recently, I got my passport renewed and we were told they will be in Vancouver in May and Alberta in June.

You can put a call through to them to inquire about the exact date.
