Just out of curiosity; if I asked the immigration folks to put a hold on processing,(or even stop processing) because I want to just delay approval for my wife by a couple of years, what would happen?
How stupid is it being straight forward with the good people in immigration? I am afraid that my change in plans is going to cost us a lot of money, or a lot of effort again in future by re-applying.
Thanks for any info you can give.

Why don?t you keep on her application and once is approved , just go to Canada and do the landing procedure and come back to your home place?.
Once you decide to immigrate the only thing you have to do is board a plane and no more worries about Immigration.
That?s my thought anyways!

taxes (in reply to: Stopping PR processing)
Thanks Andy
My concern is having to pay taxes in Canada while working and living overseas. I am trying to get info from the immigration website about this, but without much success. However, I may be dumb and/or blind. ;-)
If you know anything about the tax situation, I´d love to hear it.
Thanks again.

Mike,
you are not a citizen. You don´t pay taxes if you don´t work there.

For what I have read , Mike is a Canadian citizen , well Mike I have been living with my wife abroad (she is a Canadian citizen ,I?m not) and she hasn?t pay any taxes while she?s been here.
I think you could call or mail the Canada Revenue Agency and find that out.
Cheers

I am a Canadian citizen, but wife is not. Once my wife´s PR is approved, she will have to enter Canada within a time limit. We don´t/won´t have any concrete connections (property, bank accounts, health insurance with any province, etc...) with Canada. However, she will have just become a Permanent Resident.
If we don´t live in Canada/continue to live overseas, even though she has just become a ´resident´ of Canada, will we have to pay taxes?
Thanks folks

Canadian taxes are based on residency (whether or not you´re actually living in Canada). If you don´t live and work in Canada over the course of a year, I don´t believe you have to pay taxes.
It isn´t like the United States where it´s based on citizenship. If you´re an American citizen you´re supposed to file/pay taxes on your earnings even if you aren´t living in the United States.
So if I were you I wouldn´t worry about taxes...you may need to worry about your wife fulfilling the necessary residency obligations to maintain her permanent resident status, especially if you plan on living abroad for an extended period of time (i.e - more then 2 years).

have american rules changed? (in reply to: Stopping PR processing)
A few years ago, I worked with Americans overseas who told me that they didn´t have to pay taxes in America as long as they were not working in America for the entire tax year (or it may have been as of December 31st, can´t remember). And I wasn´t happy as I needed to close all my ties with Canada in order to do that. They still needed to file if memory serves me, but they didn´t have to pay.
My wife will get her time in in Canada, it´s just a matter of delaying our eventual move to Canada.
Thanks
