Getting back to boyfriend in UK- Irish citizenship?

When an individual ceases to be a resident, the provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act attempts to tax the individual on all his or her income earned up to the date that residence terminates (date of departure), especially the income that will not be taxable once the individual becomes a non-resident. This tax is referred to as the "departure tax".

The Departure tax is calculated based on your capital assets but these have to add up to $25,000 or more. I would consult a tax accountant, but unless you own a lot of assets you should be okay.

Just to clarify, "departure tax" (deemed disposition upon departure from canada id the precise term) will be owed regardless of the amount that is determined (there is no minimum below which this tax would not be owed). The 25K limit refers to the need to provide the information on a special form, NOT whether you owe tax or not.

In all cases, tax on the appreciation of specified assets is owedf, without any threshold.

These q's are better answered at a true tax site like forums.serbinski.com, not here.

Thanks for the links claviclekiss . Thank you both for your help! sorry for the late reply btw, work has been keeping me pretty busy and have been trying to get the paperwork I need. Feel like a chicken with it's head cut off sometimes lol. Thanks a bunch

As far as i know you can live and work in any European country as soon as you have a passport of one country of the European union... there are a couple of eastern European Country's that have special rules but definitely not Ireland...

Ah k gotchya HeinzGrot:) thanks for the reply. Was also wondering if anyone knew how long it takes to receive your Canadian long form birth certificate? Also along with a marriage certificate for my Pappa for 1954.

I ordered it on the 24th of september and the marriage certificate a day or two after. Got a notice in the mail asking me to verify the Birthplace and sent it back to them but since then nothing.. I'm a bit nervous because I need these to prove my lineage and don't want them denied or anything like that. Really appreciate everyone's help btw, this forum is great .

Still haven't got my long form Birth certificate yet . was Born in 88 so it isn't an old certificate. What could be keeping them since September 23- 24? Am feeling very antsy now because can't do anything till I have it and the citizenship process takes 6 months for irish citizenship .
Dunno what a girl could do, any advice? Just want everything to keep going and apply and get back home to my boyfriend. Thanks in advance btw.

Since you don't say what province you are from, I'll take that as being Ontario. Butt seriously, all provinces have tightened there birth cert issuing processes -- the worst being ontario, becuase of security and fraud issues, and because the short form has fallen out of favour.

Ah k gotchya AGN, and yup from Ontario hehe. I guess I can understand why they've tightened their security issues, still it's a bit frustrating :/. All the other ones I've had ordered came through at the right time, only this one is left(my mom ordered her birth, marriage, and my pappa's marriage certificate for me). *Sigh* Guess one just has to have patience .

Hey Everyone,

So I've got all my certificates in order . Am getting them notarized soon and hope to send them everything away. The one thing that concerns me is on another forum I read somewhere that I'll need police clearance? Do I have to send this in with my application? How would I get it? It's the first time I've read that I need that so not exactly sure what it is or what I have to do. Tried looking on the link that was provided for it but no luck . Is it just another name for a criminal records check?
