Re: Declaration of Assets
I am not trying to make any allegation, but my retired judge friend, the Honourable Lloyd W. Houlden of the Court of Appeal of Ontario (about 85 or more now), told me that if an individual is telling the truth, the answer is consistent and the same. Accordingly, if you ask me, I would suggest that whatever declaration you may have to provide, tell the truth, and you can sleep peacefully at night.
With respect to your other matters, may I suggest that you scan all the documents, statements, etc. to your hard drive and lap top, and consider sending it in several parts as an attachment to your e-mail account and your spouse's e-mail, such that it is available wherever you are. If you have to travel to SG within 2 weeks of your arrival in Canada, perhaps, you wish to resolve your SG matters before emigrating.
By the way, earlier today, I saw an advertisement pertaining to immigrants with foreign credentials, and you may wish to check it out, to determine whether or not it is relevant for you: www.credentials.gc.ca
If the other helpful individual [Dole43] who resides near Mississauga or Oakville, offers to help you by allowing you to use his residential address for government documents, you have one important matter resolved.
I recall that various emigration matters were disscussed at great length in the old sammyboy forum. There was a younger medical doctor from SG [nayr69] or [nayr69sg], with 2 children, who probably landed in Edmonton, Alberta, several years ago. He was willing to give up practising as a medical doctor to move to Canada to give his children a better future. He did significant research and planning, and responded to question from numerous potential emigrants in those days of the old sammyboy forum. We were in SG in early 2004, and we met his family and shared dinner. Unfortunately, he did not keep in touch with me.
Hi Charlie9,
My apology for not making my question clear.
Whatever I bring along when I land, I will declare including the 'goods to follow' list.
As for my properties and funds that is not in Canada, do I have to declare at the point of landing?
From your reply, does it mean that I only declare them to CRA later on in my income tax form when I sell the property(ies) and transfer the funds to Canada?
Please pardon my ignorance in this subject matter.
Regards
