Question: When can I apply for divorce in Canada if I've moved out of the country?

This is complicated; My husband and I grew up in Canada, then moved to England almost two years ago. We separated in July, and my husband moved back to Canada in November. I want to be divorced as soon as possible so I won't do it through England, they take ages. Do I have to wait a year from the time my husband moved back to Canada, before filing? Even though we lived in Canada until two years ago, and even though we filed our taxes there this whole time?

Also, when I do file, do I have to be in Canada to file? If so, do I have to live in Canada until the process is finished?

Answer: You need a lawyer's professional opinion. First visit is usually free.

Question: Didnt file tax return bcoz not was in canada Aug08 to May09,can i do now in july?

I have to sponsor my spouse from India but i didnt file tax returns in for 2008, so will i get "Note of Assessment (OPTION C)" from Canada Revenue Agency so i can submit that paper with my Immigration documents.and how many days it will take to get it in mail.
Thanks

Answer: CRA can only issue an Option C printout if your tax return has been assessed, which can take anywhere from weeks to months from the day you file it.

Once you have received your assessment, you can call CRA to request the Option C printout, which in itself only takes about a week to be sent out.

I mean, we heard that line over and over after the 2006 and 2008 elections.

WE WON!
WE WON!
Elections have consequences.
Deal with it.

What's the matter Dems, you can dish it out but can't take it?

Answer: We also heard "That's what elections are for."

Now it's their turn to get an election outcome shoved down their throats.

Yes, the whining liberals really are acting like spoiled brats. It's about time they got their comeuppance.

I LOVE seeing the GOP giving the DemocRATS a taste of their own medicine, even BEFORE the GOP House takes office.

When they do, then we'll really see the fur fly.

Question: How to change from accounting and become an investment advisor?

HI,

I have been in accounting for 2 and a half years now, and I do public accounting, so I see a lot of clients like dentists, doctors, CEO's & lots of small business owners when it comes to personal tax season. Due to the recession, I got laid off from the firm and joined another firm, which the working condition is quite horrible. Meanwhile, I want to become an investment advisor with companies that they call themselves XXX capital partners. I have no idea how to write a cover letter and resume for an Investment Advisor position, because all of my resumes are very accounting oriented. I believe the position could be sale oriented. I am to the point that I choose unemployment than stay at my current accounting firm.

PS. I will be getting an accounting designation and become a professional accountant in December 2009.

I appreciate all guidance in advance.
