My people, I need 'moment of truth' info. Want to know the implications of applying with spouse unaccompanying.... positive and negative... |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Asinkwa(f): 1:47pm On Jun 15, 2018 |
I know someone who left a Big 4 in Nigeria as a Tax Manager and got a role as a Tax senior in the same Big 4 firm in Canada. So it is possible. Abuhuhu: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Eyifunmi: 2:57pm On Jun 15, 2018 |
Oopsy:If you apply as unaccompanying, you would have to sponsor your spouse and wait a minimum of twelve months, which is exhausting and emotionally wrecking. You would deal with Accra visa office, and go through the stress. Your application would be treated under spousal sponsorship criteria, and it is no joke. You might get frustrated along the way, and have to make numerous trips to Nigeria? Are you ready to Count the cost? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Oopsy: Eyifunmi: honestly, i think it is a struggle to come up with positives for applying with spouse unaccompanying. Even when you spouse is not ready to move yet, if you are the primary applicant, you can land alone first and have your spouse do a short landing at a more convenient time, so long as it is within the validity of his/her medicals and COPR. Maybe the only positive (depending on how you view it) is not having to pay the fees for the accompanying spouse yet, so less cost to start with. But things like cost of living (maintaining two homes is expensive and consider also the value of the naira if cash is being sent to you in Canada), and combine that with the hassle described by @Eyifunmi noting also that the current immigration policy is not cast in stone (a change in govt can bring in significant changes that can affect the chances or difficulty of a spouse joining in future). 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Thanks a lot. Spouse is actually not even ready to leave even if she is accompanying, so we are looking for a way out... I appreciate. A555: |

Asinkwa:Realistically, it may not be easy to get into taxation with your Nigeria tax experience unless you're willing to start afresh or leverage your networks to get an internal transfer from your current big 4. If you're in transfer pricing though, it would be easier. 1 Like |

Hey Guys, Is there anyone currently using this program to buy their home? or any other program for that matter...I need your input here. Seniors who have bought/are buying their homes in Canada, please share your experiences and opinions here. Thanks smslive2: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by A555: 3:42am On Jun 16, 2018 |
Oopsy: If spouse isn't ready to leave, I would suggest completing the application with her accompanying still, then she makes a short landing using as much of her annual leave as possible before returning. If she's around long enough to get her PR card, that's excellent. If not, it gets delivered to you and you can hold on to it till you can arrange to get it across to her. She can spend up to 3 years outside Canada while making up her mind one way or the other. And if she decides to come in, she will need to spend the last 2 years of the validity of her PR in Canada, so it is renewable. Best wishes with whatever decisions you guys make ultimately. 8 Likes |

kachikapor: The details of the program look exactly the same as an RBC mortgage adviser explained to me, so I expect it should also be available via any bank you already bank with. Maybe if you have specific questions, I might have answers from my discussion with the mortgage adviser. Otherwise, here is some generic information from the details I picked up on: 1. The rule of thumb is that you could be eligible for 5x(Annual gross), as a maximum mortgage value. 2. You can pay as low as 5% downpayment, however, for a downpayment less than 20%, you need to also pay for default insurance (insurance protecting against potential default on the mortgage due to the low downpayment).The insurance premium can be paid as a one-off payment when you close on the purchase of a property, or can be added to the mortgage principal amount so it becomes extra dollars on your monthly payments. 3. Proof of the source of the downpayment may be required. If from Canadian earnings, it will be obvious in your a/c statement that it's coming from your paycheck. If transferred from outside Canada, it should be in your account in CAD up to 3 months before you apply for the mortgage and you should have proof of the source of the funds (a/c statements, transfer instructions, etc) or confirmation it's a gift. 4. I understand there is a greater tax burden on new build homes versus already built homes. As a general rule, real property transactions are taxable, even when the vendor is a small supplier and/or is not registered for GST/HST. In such cases, the vendor must collect and remit the tax (unless the purchaser is a GST/HST registrant—see discussion that follows). However, the sale of used residential property and certain sales of real property by an individual who is not engaged in a business are generally exempt from GST/ HST. In the case of bare land, if the property has been subdivided into more than two parts, even an unregistered individual must generally collect GST/HST when the property is sold. (http://www.taxplanningguide.ca/tax-planning-guide/section-1-businesses/gsthst-real-property-sales/) Without going into too much more detail, I will expect your mortgage adviser will provide a lot of the specifics that relate to your particular needs. The mortgage advisor will be able to work out what your interest rates will be, and give an idea of the monthly payments. 11 Likes 5 Shares |
