Problem I do not have a title as in Canada there are no Titles. Ford Credit Canada simply sent me aletter stating that it is paid off. NC DMV have told me that they issued a title and sent it to Ford Credit Canada, who have claimed no to have received it (back in 2000) Ford Credit Canada can send me a Release of the Lean on my Car, will that be enough to cross the border.. The US side requires a title but Canada had no title system. On the Canadian side I spoke to the Canada Border agency they told me that if the car was originally registered in Canada and I have the original registration then I can simply just go to the Border and tell them that I am bringing the car back. - is this true do I still need the US side export document or similar paper? When they say registration in Canada they mean the plates - correct? What Can I do to get the title as Canada has no titles?

I tried and I did it..So I hope everyone who didn't tried it yet and whom who has the same case as I, try to go to the border and apply. I was maybe lucky because the immigration oficers were nice but still, I encountered a lot of questions related to me and my job, it wasn't easy..they held me there about 2 hrs.My advice to everyone is to have everything ready, be honest of what you present otherwise, they have no reason to deny you.

I'm not located in the US and I'm not a US resident. Our business operation is E-Commerce and mainly using Drop Shipping service from our providers. Questions: 1. I have drop shipping suppliers in different states. Some of them charge me taxes when shipping to their states. In this case I also need to charge the sales tax to my customer. If I incorporate in Florida, do I need to incorporate too in Utah for example? In the case that not, how I report to the IRS about these taxes that aren't in my state? 2. There are big differences when incorporating in Florida or Delaware? My accounting says not. I heard that mainly the big companies incorporate in Delaware. I'm looking for the best solution in order to pay less taxes. 3. If I use Amazon fulfillment to purchase some products in quantities and I have been incorporate in Florida for example, having stock on Amazon doesn't means that I have Nexus in the state where the stock is located?. 4. Someone can tell in which bank I can make electronic bank transfers within the US with the less fees or even without? 5.Suggestions for the bank where is easier to receive a credit card as a non US resident having a US based company?

I have not yet determined what my status will be after I leave and hope someone can help me based on the following conditions. - Canada does not have a tax treaty with Belize - I own a Canadian home and will be renting it out - I have a bank account and several credit cards which I plan on retaining - I will be working part time for a company in Canada while in Belize Based on that, 1. I am probably considered a resident for tax purposes right? 2. If that is the case, do I need to file any kind of form/return when I leave the country or just keep reporting my world income on my annual return? 3. Staying as a resident for tax purposes could possibly benefit me or not? 4. I understand that child tax benefits apply if you are a 'resident for tax purposes'. If I'm paying all the proper taxes I imagine I would still qualify for that. 5. Do I have to do anything different when it comes to renting out my canadian home? Income in Belize will be very small, and that coupled with the exchange rate factor will result in a low income compared to Canada's standards. Therefore I don't see paying taxes on my world income as a big issue. <a href="http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/determining-resident-status-prior-to-our-move-vt7568.html"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 9 Replies || 147 Views Post by <b>francob</b> General discussion - News - Digest http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/determining-resident-status-prior-to-our-move-vt7568.html http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/canadian-expat-eligability-when-living-in-antigua-vt7566.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:45:01 GMT <h5><a href="http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/general-discussion-vf9.html" title="General discussion">General discussion</a></h5> <b>Canadian Expat eligability when living in Antigua</b> I just registered to the site which I find informative and I am trying to reach out to the group for some guidance.

The question is... In the absence of exit controls how does the US determine the length of time an individual has been in the country? I see that the US provision does not require residency, only physical presence. Even time spent on vacation can be counted toward the five-year requirement. The reason I ask, is that the Canadian government just issued a reply to the House of Commons Standing Committee's recommendation to enact a residency provision for Canadians born abroad. The reply simply states that they cannot support a residency provision, as it would be impossible to enforce given the fact that Canada does not have exit controls. It seems to me that the US is in the same boat and I'm curious as to how they handle the issue. <a href="http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/us-citizenship-by-descent-vt7561.html"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 3 Replies || 64 Views Post by <b>canexpat</b> General discussion - News - Digest http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/us-citizenship-by-descent-vt7561.html
