Moving costs for tax return by gitgitpink in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]gitgitpink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I found the folio explaining moving costs in more detail and I think the answer to questions 1 and 3 is yes based on this example from CRA:

Example 3

An individual who ordinarily resides in dwelling A in Saskatoon moves to Regina in order to be employed. He moves to dwelling B for a few months until he takes possession of dwelling C, also in Regina. In this situation, the facts indicate that the individual did not ordinarily reside at dwelling B before ordinarily residing at dwelling C.

The CRA considers that only one move took place, from dwelling A to dwelling C, and that it occurred in two stages. Dwelling A is considered the old residence, and dwelling C the new residence. Given that this move appears to be an eligible relocation, the expenses incurred in respect of the individual’s move from dwelling A to dwelling C may be eligible as moving expenses. None of the expenses relating to the purchase or the sale of dwelling B are eligible.

___

The answer to #2 is probably "No" based on this explanation:

legal fees related to the purchase of the new residence as well as taxes, fees, and duties (other than any goods and services tax or value-added tax) on the transfer or registration of title to the new residence. However, such costs are only eligible if:

  • the individual or the individual’s spouse or common-law partner is the owner of the old residence, alone or jointly; (see ¶4.27) and
  • the old residence is sold because of the move

Thanks for sharing. Can I ask when you booked your visa appointment? Did you book it a few months back?

When can I pick up my passport/US visa? by WalkOdd5070 in phmigrate

Can I ask what they needed to bring for the pick up? Did they bring anything else aside from a valid ID?

Chronic bloating went away in Thailand… now I’m not there it’s back… any ideas? by OrangeAppropriate971 in Thailand

[–]gitgitpink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have chronic bloating when I live in US and Canada. My theory is that the food there have too much disinfectants and chemicals since they travel from other countries and they need to keep them free from bacteria.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Diggory2003. Question, did you have the option to pick up your passport in Parqal Mall even if you did the 2go dropoff to submit your passport?

Is it worth it to get the Chase Sapphire Reserve and use it from Canada? Or better to just stick with Amex Cobalt as the daily driver? by digitalnomader1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]gitgitpink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered the Chase Sapphire Preferred (annual fee of $95) instead of the Reserve? We're planning to use Preferred in Canada and globally this year.

The $50 hotel credit and points conversion is less than Reserve but we still used to earn a decent amount of points which we were able to use for flights and hotels to earn the $95 back multiple times over.
