It does not help your adaptability score unless your mother or grandmother or any relatives actually move to Canada. If you can be considered a dependent child of your mother, she can a...

Re: Moving to canada - Import forms??

Neither of you HAS to do those B4/B4A forms. The only reason to do them is if either of you will have to pay duties/tax fees on the stuff you want to import. Sounds like you and your partner do not intend to import a lot of valuable stuff. Still, if you do not do the forms, then you just get the sta...

With your proof of citizenship, you will not be denied entry. Apply for SIN number (same as social security number) after you arrive in Canada. Bring your birth certificate too, but they will likely give you a SIN number with proof of citizenship only. Tax status? I do not think you need any tax sta...
