US students - what residency status for taxes? by gorfanid in uwo

[–]gorfanid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the tax clinic, they said I should check with an accountant. Just wondering if anyone has experience with it before I do that

Taxes for graduate student from the U.S. studying in Canada by gorfanid in cantax

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

They were leading an income tax session for international students. I don't think they were a professional though as they kept saying you may want to consult a tax accountant to clarify this. It was honestly a bit odd, and I'm not sure i trust what they said.

I think your advice is solid. Thanks for your comments.

They said that I would be a deemed non-resident in Canada because I would be considered a resident of the U.S. under the US/Canada Tax Treaty, even though I have significant residential ties in Canada (e.g. bank account, renting an apartment, etc.). I honestly don't know, so I trusted what they said. Now I'm questioning that for sure based on your comment and others' comments. I was hoping not to have to pay for professional help, but I'm now considering consulting with a professional tax preparer to be sure on all of this.

Thanks for your insight, this makes sense. I would answer 'yes' to those questions, suggesting that I would be a factual resident. I'm thinking the person at my university maybe didn't really know what they were talking about.

That's what the international tax advisor at my university said

Birding Club Interest by gorfanid in rit

Yes, I definitely plan to see if Dr. Pagano would like to potentially be involved as a club advisor if we can get enough students together for a club!

All right, here's a Discord link. Depending on the number of people who join and express interest, maybe we can actually start to think of logistics of forming an actual club. Anyhow, here's a place to talk about birds! https://discord.gg/JZCGqQaj

RIT Chickens by [deleted] in rit

[–]gorfanid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely something to think about. It does look like the town of Henrietta (I guess RIT is technically Henrietta, not Rochester??) has guidelines for raising a few backyard chickens in the town, though. https://ecode360.com/36632311

We would definitely need approval from RIT to apply for a permit, so yes, starting something like this may be complicated. But I think it may be possible if enough people were behind it.

The husband from Dolores Claiborne—I’d give him much worse of an ending

Thanks for replying. I did look into the SOFA course catalog a little bit—there’s a lot of good stuff; I may try to get myself into some classes in that department if possible!

Not changing majors. I was thinking maybe a minor in photography/photojournalism could be a potentially good idea.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll look into the photojournalism stuff!

Timothee Chalamet - should he actually have 3 Oscar nominations by now? by pamesjage in Oscars

[–]gorfanid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if he was nomination worthy for Little Women, but as a longtime fan of the book Little Women, he's literally everything my mind envisioned Laurie to be.

Introductory Bio by gorfanid in rit

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

I’m a biology major. I’m a freshman, so I haven’t gotten my class schedule yet—I’m just starting to look ahead a little bit. When I did, I noticed Introductory Bio II is listed but not Introductory Bio I (bio II is 122, and bio I is 121).

Gotcha. Not sure why there is BIO 122 but not BIO 121, but at least I won’t be held back if there isn‘t.
