if your kids is not catholic, they could still go to catholic school provided they got batpism within certain time, can't remember how long, you might need to check, as not sure if peel region is the same as markham.
for driver licence, yes, you could use the international driver licence to drive for 3 months.
but if you have HK driver licence, you could come and take the driving written test, and show your hk driver licence, you could them immediately able to sit for high way test and no need to wait for time frame...
If a driver's licence has been invalid (expired, cancelled or suspended) for more than one, but fewer than three years, you must visit a DriveTest Centre to complete a vision test. If your licence has invalid for more than three years, you must pass vision, knowledge and road tests. If your licence has been invalid for over three years but not more than 10 years, you have to reapply under Graduated Licensing at a DriveTest Centre — the mandatory waiting periods are waived. If your licence has been invalid for over ten years, you have to reapply under graduated licensing at a DriveTest Centre and serve all the mandatory waiting periods.
cus most of the properties are listed in above site. You have to accept their terms before they conduct a search for you. Hope this will give you an idea about the price range and size of a home in Mississauga / Markham. Good luck!
coledale and william breeze is good... so depends on which interactions you are in. you may go to either one...
depends on what you think, if you plan to come back for good. and your girl will finish school and stay here to work, then of course came early to start building up the network for your girl. or else, it does not really matter when you bring her back.
As a friendly reminder, some parents might think bringing their children back to Canada for good. However, as an astronaut mom/dad, please take Canadian income tax filing as a consideration before putting your feet down.
Example: “W” is a simple housewife taking care of her family and 2 children. Her husband is the main source of family income. I assume this family is having dual citizenships in HK and Canada. If only “W” and children returning to Canada for good reasons, and her husband remains in HK working and supporting his family in both HK and Canada.
During the period/years “W” and her children living in Canada, even they have no incomes; they are still liable to file the Canadian income taxes. The income taxes I mean is the income “W”’s husband earning in HK!
Why? It’s because in CCRA – Canadian Custom Revenue Agency’s points of view, “W” and her children are taking the Canadian benefits, such as health care, education and others. Therefore, her family should file the Canadian Income Tax (either paying income taxes/ receiving taxes refund). This isn’t funny, because even “W”’s husband filed non-resident status years ago, or he isn’t a Canadian at all. CCRA can still go after him for the taxes his family owes to the Canadian government.
Unless “W” and her children aren’t taking any benefits in Canada, that will be purchase blue cross or health insurance for their medical bills; paying international student fees for her children’s education. Otherwise, the CCRA can go after her husband for taxes, because he is the main source of income! Also, if CCRA found out you missed your filing, this can be huge trouble on paying back the full amount of taxes owing, plus interest, as well as any civil penalties that may be accessed by the CCRA.
As the negotiations for an income tax treaty between the Canadian government and HK SAR commenced in June 27, 2011, I believe there will more people/family get affected when the treaty become effective.
As a personal thought, I knew there are lots of people taking advantages of our benefits. That’s why I am very sad as a taxpayer, who works so hard to feed my family and pay bills. While others just came in claiming they are also Canadian, taking advantages on our system but no intention to pay income taxes; suck up our resources and leave after they got what they want/plan for themselves or their children.
Tchu - wow, thanks for the info, i did not know they have treaty signed in June between the HK and the CRA... yea a really good tips for those who just want to enjoy the benefit/welfare in canada but not contributing anything to it.. :;pppp:
