How does the new Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) affect pre-sale homes in BC, Canada? I recently bought a pre-sale condo in BC that is not going to be built till 2012, after which the HST will be implemented in BC, Canada. I have already paid my deposit for the home, but I won't have to pay the full amount till 2012, when the condo is built. Does that mean I am have to pay the extra 7% in tax since I will be paying for the condo in its entirety after HST has been implemented on July 1st, 2010? Any insights will be appreciated! Thanks!

Will I Pay Capital Gains on Home Sale in Canada? I inherited some money and bought a home in my third year of University. I lived there for two years while I finished my undergrad and had all my bills (gas, hydro, phone, credit card, and cable/internet) delivered to my house. However, I did not change the address listed on my driver's lisense or Social Insurance Number because I knew my time there would be relatively brief. Does this mean I will have to pay capital gains on the house now that I am selling it, or is that enough proof that I did in fact reside there?

Is it a good time to sell a house in Canada? Sales of homes in the US have been falling, does anyone know if this is true for Canada as well? If I must sell my home in Canada within a year (and buy another home in Canada) should I sell now or wait a year? If its going to keep going down for a few years, should I sell now (while it's just starting to go down), rent a place for a few years, and buy later when it's really down? I know It's impossible to tell but I'm looking for some wise knowledgable predictions. Thanks.

Why is it so easy to find foreclosure homes in America, but not in Canada? Even on Google its possible to now find homes that are foreclosed and for sale, but not in Canada. WHY? here's the link to this site that I found, one that shows the location of homes for sale: ( http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=48104&mrt=realestate&sll=42.325809,-83.938293&sspn=0.100262,0.338173&ie=UTF8&z=13&ref=patrick.net ) I would love to buy 2 or 3 foreclosed homes, but I want them here in Canada, not in Detroit. yes, they would cost a lot more, probably only a few thousand less than the surrounding homes, but its near impossible to find them here in Canada : Why is that?

How much money a real estate agent make on a home sale? Hi. I know that when a sale is made then an agent represents the seller and another agent represent the buyer will get commission.

Is my landlord lying? I am currently renting a home in Canada. Our landlord has asked to come and measure each of the rooms for the purpose of "house insurance". The house was for sale for a year almost a year ago but the offers were nowhere near what the owner wanted. Do homeowners need the room measurements for insurance or is my recently rented home for sale? I should have mentioned, a fellow came with the landlord about 2 weeks ago and he did not look like a realtor. The landlord is approximately 78 years old and is watching the home for his son who owns the house. I am curious as to whether the landlord (the dad) perhaps didn't know the approx. size of the home and is measuring it for that perpose. We asked him if it is for sale and he said no but there is no home insurance on it. The house is only 12 years old and is on 5 acres. It is truly beautiful and I'd hate to leave already. Last time it was on the market it was overpriced by $250,000 so I hope this is truly home insurance related. Thanks everyone for your input.

Do you know all of the benefits for RRSPs in Canada? Would you get RRSPs in Canada (mutual fund or GIC) or is there something else that you are investing in to get to retirement? Please include benefits of the path you would choose, for example, I know that RRSPs get me a tax deduction which helps me save money every year. I know a lot of people are using real estate to get some capital to retire off of, but I've heard that the capital gains that you pay on the sale of the home basically null any profit you could have made? Any helpful answers would be great!

First time buyer question (Canada)? My husband and myself want to buy a home in the next year or two. Currently, we have a condo that he owns (he purchased it before we met), so this new home that we plan on building will be my purchase. As a first time home buyer in Canada, I have a couple of options for the down payment. I could utilize my RRSP's (I will have about $35,000) without penalty from the government for withdrawing those. As a first time buyer, I only need to put down 5%. However, we are unsure about whether or not because my husband is not a first time buyer if that will apply. Does anybody know? And if it would not apply, what is the best way to save for a home? RRSP's? Non-RSP's? TFSA? High interest savings account? We are looking at homes in the $500,000 range (that's an average house where we are from). Ideally, we would love to put about 20% down. The sale of our condo won't really yield that much in excess income as the condo market hasn't really increased in value here. We might make $25,000 off of it. Might being the key word. Take off real estate fees, bank fees, etc., and we might get $12,000 in profit. We would then utilize that for the development of our new home, but we don't want to guarantee that income. Any suggestions?

Cancelling Offer on Private Sale, BC Canada? We've offered on a home being sold privately, one of the subjects being a satisfactory inspection.

Our date to remove subjects is tomorrow (Sunday the 4th) and I can't find any info online showing me what legal steps we have to take to retract our offer; looking for someone who can point me in the direction of a site with this information.

Do I have to pay Washington State sales tax on a car? I am from out of state.? I am buying a car in WA and exporting it to my home in Canada. I can't get a straight answer about this. Tax on a $16,000 vehicle is a significant amount, and it doesn't make sense for someone who lives out of state to pay it. I am getting a very good deal on this Toyota Tundra and it is about $6000 less than the equivalent vehicle in my local market. The warranty expires soon anyway however it is transferable.

Is it legal to buy a car in Canada if you live in the US? If so do modification need to be made for emissions? I live in Seattle and there are a lot of great cars for sale in Vancouver. I'm wondering if it would be a hassle or even possible to buy a care in Vancouver and just, drive it home. I have a feeling it's legal but there are ramifications for buying a car outside of the US. If this is in the case I'm wondering how much on average I'd be looking to invest to get the car up to "code".

Tenants rights when Landlord Puts home up for sale? I came home Monday night to discover that our rental is up for sale. Our landlords never even told us that it was going up. We had just moved there 6 months ago as our rental got sold and we had to move out. What are our rights, we gave them notice on thursday to be out on feb 1st or 15th. They want us to stay until march 1st as weve missed the first of this month. Had we known they were selling we would have gave notice on the first. I cant sit around stressing if were going to have a home or not if it sells. We have a little girl and pets and the opportunity to rent our friends house. Does anyone out there know what our rights are. I know were supposed to give a months notice on the first, but i cant sit around twirling my thumbs and let this opportunity pass us by. oh and this is in Canada, so if anyone knows it would be really helpful. I forgot to say that they have already listed the place for rent feb 1st or 15th. Yet are telling us we cant move till march. Funny we have to give them a months notice bout moving but they can put the place up for sale and not even tell us.

Does a private Vehicle sale involve any warranty in BC Canada? I sold a car to a guy yesterday and as far as i knew it was functioning perfectly. Today he phoned me and said that He can't get the transmission into any gear. If he goes after me for repairs does he have a case? I offered to get it inspected by a mechanic before he purchased it and he opted to just have his friend come over. I don't think i should be responsible for any repairs as i have no idea what he could have done to the clutch/Transmission in 18 hours of owning it. He drove it home last night and it was perfectly fine and he drove it before he bought it.

Anyone interested in McCain/Obama Tax Plans? Here they are. I know it's a LONG one, but I think it's very interesting. Our Presidential Candidates proposals on taxes, to be put into effect after 2008 General election: CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% tax on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples)McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay $.28 tax on every $1.00 you gain. Heading for retirement and want to move to a smaller home, or a retirement community? Good luck. You will pay Big Government 28% of your "profit". (Personally, I'm counting on the equity in my home to fund a major portion of my retirement. This proposal is confiscatory. GG) DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% What productive citizen amoung us has no money invested in an IRA, mutual fund, college fund, life insurance, retirement account, or other instruments that pay dividends? Mr. Obama proposes Big Government take $.40 of every $1.00 your investments earn. So what effect will this have on our economy? Fiscal experts say: "higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit." INCOME TAX MCCAIN (no changes) Single making 30K - tax $4,500Single making 50K - tax $12,500Single making 75K - tax $18,750Married making 60K- tax $9,000Married making 75K - tax $18,750Married making 125K - tax $31,250 OBAMA (revert to pre-Bush tax cuts)Single making 30K - tax $8,400Single making 50K - tax $14,000Single making 75K - tax $23,250Married making 60K - tax $16,800Married making 75K - tax $21,000Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Under Obama's regime, your taxes will double! If you think that is a good thing, perhaps you should send Big Government your check ear-marked for your special concern(s). I prefer to chose for myself who and how I help with my earnings. INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Reinstate the inheritance tax This impacts anyone (see exception below) who leaves or receives an inheritance. The Federal Pig will be first in line for its "share" of your legacy. Before Bush repealed this tax, many people lost homes, property, farms, family businesses, etc. which had been in their families for generations, because they could not afford to pay this tax. Many more were left in debt; the fruits of their inheritance eaten by the Pig Who will this NOT affect? The "filthy rich"; perennal targets of the self-righteous Left; people like the Kennedy clan, George Soros, the Hollywood Elite, ad nausia, and the mega-rich whose names we will never hear. The financially powerful pay skilled experts to protect their wealth, and these experts do their job well. Make no mistake, the Pig feeds off the Middle Class, not the rich! ADDITIONAL TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA New tax: Homes larger than 2400 square feet (more squeezing of the "rich"???.) Additional tax on gasoline! (?) New taxes: Consumption of natural resources (can you say heating fuel, gas, water, electricity) New taxe: Retirement accounts and last but not least.... New taxes: To fund socialized medicine. Under the Left's master plan, expect the same level of medical care as most third-world countries enjoy! Yes, you to may get to wait a year for a kidney transplant, or critical operation, as they do in Canada, England, and every other Country with socialized medicine. Vote. Again, I know it's LONG, but so informative and something that EVERYONE should be aware of. Believe me, I didn't make this up!!!!

Take home law test question: returning used goods? Sale's are slow at Tad's used-car lot in the USA, so Tad accepts Nadine's offer of $11,000 for a camper-rigged van. For two months, Nadine lives in the van while she fishes in Canada. When Nadine returns home, the van's interior is trashed, but Nadine returns the van to Tad's lot and demands her $11,000 back. Explain whether it's likely that Tad must return the $11,000 to Nadine.

Tennessee Walker Horses For Sale? I'm looking for TWH for sale, either in Canada, or the U.S. Preferably not the southern or west coast U.S as that is a bit too far. I have always dreamed of owning these horses, and in the future would like to breed on a very small scale. Looking for a stud colt, and a filly or mare, color a huge plus. Conformation and attitude is of the most importance. Would prefer two foals but an older horse would be fine as well, especially if broke to ride. Colt and filly must NOT be closely related, anything that will mature to over 15.1 hands is ideal. That's all I can think of, if you breed or know anyone who breeds TWH, please let me know. My budget is sort of small, because I would have ship them to where I am, but I am offering a forever loving home. Email me if you like. mdolitle, that's definitely not the case here. I've looked for hours on end at the horse sites, and have found a few great quality foals I am interested in, however I took the chance and posted here to see if there are any good TWH breeders on here. I am a good judge of horse flesh, and I have friends in the states who would check a horse out for me, so no, I am not irresponsible. Also, there are next to no TWH anywhere near me in Canada. :)

I want to buy my first home. I only have $ 20,000 down.Is it better to go through a broker or an indepent sale I am single, 52 yrs of age. I live near Montreal, in Quebec province, Canada.

I know nothing aobut real estate. What are some of the things I should be looking out for so I dont make the wrong decision ?

US Dollar is worth more than Canadian currency update Jan 29? an. 29 (Bloom berg) -- Canada’s dollar weakened against the greenback after worst-than-forecast economic data in the U.S. revived global aversion to higher-yielding assets. “We’re seeing a little bit of pessimism across asset classes,” said Dustin Reid, director of currency strategy at RBS Greenwich Capital Markets in Chicago. “We’ve got this horrible data out of the U.S. The market has gone back to trading this risk aversion equals stronger U.S. dollar theme.” The Canadian dollar depreciated 1.1 percent to C$1.2240 per U.S. dollar at 4:37 p.m. in Toronto, from C$1.2109 yesterday. One Canadian dollar buys 81.69 U.S. cents. The Canadian currency will weaken to C$1.25 against the U.S. dollar by the end of this quarter before rebounding to C$1.20 by the end of 2009, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 42 economists. Reid has a near-term trading recommendation of C$1.25. Canada’s currency is down 0.4 percent this month, after appreciating 1.7 percent in December. The loonie, as the currency is known, had its worst performance on record last year, weakening 18 percent, amid a recession in the U.S., the destination for about three-quarters of Canada’s exports. Sales of new homes in the U.S. fell to an annual pace of 331,000 in December, lower than all 70 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Other reports today said orders for durable goods slumped for a fifth month and a record number of Americans were collecting jobless benefits. Crude oil for March delivery dropped 1.4 percent to $41.59 a barrel. Crude accounts for about a tenth of Canada’s export revenue and makes up 21 percent of the Bank of Canada Commodity Price Index, the largest component. ‘Softer Commodities’ “Softer equity and commodity valuations” will likely continue to weigh on Canada’s dollar,” said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank of Canada in Toronto. Fourth-quarter reports are due tomorrow on the gross domestic economies of both Canada and the U.S. “Markets are definitely waiting for the U.S. GDP numbers tomorrow, as a major signpost of where things are going,” said Reid. “It’s possible we could be at a significant watershed event tomorrow.” The yield on the two-year government bond rose 3 basis points to 1.40 percent. The price of the 2.75 percent security due in December 2010 fell 7 cents to C$102.43. Its a miracle Please leave your comments Bush really did a number on Federal Deficit! ugh sighs"""

Should the Canadian Government upgrade more stadiums to be possible CFL homes? It seems to me that there are a lot of potentially suitable homes for CFL teams in Canada if there were seating for 25-30,000 fans. More teams mean more games per week, giving TV more content and more competitive games. Increased content and more regional diversity could lead to more demand which could add much needed American TV revenue. More teams mean more regions selling CFL merchandise, which means more sales per team. More teams mean more fans travelling which helps teams and communities. While building top of the line stadia is expensive, should the Canadian Government upgrade stadiums at Canadian Universities (in the most inexpensive manner possible) and public parks to help out the CFL? (Say metal bleachers, restrooms, and concession stands surrounding existing feilds.) I think in a worst case scenario, the stadiums could be a financial positive for university teams and could help improve football in canada overall. Sinking metal bleachers around existing feilds would not be prohibitably expensive. You could put in concession stands with a 5-10 year lifespan with the idea that if the new "stadium" was a success they would be replaced by the team/the city government with more permanant structures. Restrooms for 30K would be more expensive, but still not oppressive. Many of the university stadiums have pressboxes built in and basic locker facilities. Building on existing feilds and stadia with cost efficiency in mind, I would have to think you could upgrade each feild for less than 30M. Canada has 33M people. If each citizen contribute a dollar a year you could upgrade a stadium a year. In 10 years, you would secure the CFL's future long term. The Canadian government has shown a willingness to pony up money to build stadiums for one off international soccer tournaments. One would hope they would be willing to spend it on stadiums with more useful lives ahead of them that generate more money for the local communities. Even with the CFL down to a mere 8 teams, the CFL is enjoyed by 19% of Canada and is a Canadian institution with a history that dwarfs the NFL's. If would be a real shame to see it collapse and the NFL take over football in Canada. With expansion, the CFL's popularity would increase-- maybe to as much as 25-30% --- coming close to rivalling the NHL's numbers. Some of these stadiums would require temporary moveable seating due to space limitations and even then might not ever seat 30K, but imagine how much more secure the CFL would be if expansion into the following areas was viable due to 30K stadiums being available? city-stadium Quebec,QC - U Laval's PEPS 18.5K to 30K Halifax,NS - St. Mary's Huskies Stadium 9K to 30K Moncton,NB - U Moncton's New Moncton 8k (18-20K?) to 30K London, ON - UWO's TD Waterhouse 8K (exp to 16K) to 30K Windsor, ON - U Windsor 2k to 30K Saskatchewan,SK - US' Griffith 5k to 30K Kelowna, BC - Apple Bowl 6K to 30K Kitchner, ON - Centennial - 4k to 30K Victoria, BC - UV's Centennial - 5K to 30K or Victoria, BC - Royal athletic park - 4K to 30K Eventually, putting a stadium at Brock University in St. Catherines might be worth doing to serve both the US and Canadian Niagra areas. There are quite a few people out there (646K) and it is halfway between pro football communities Buffalo and Hamilton. I put Kitchener because it was more conveintent to cambridge residents, but now I can't even find info on the stadium. Looking at it UWaterloo has a nice setup good for expansion at their field so replace that with: Waterloo,ON - Knight-Newbrough Field 6M Barrie would be a nice place to put up a stadium as well. Maybe near Georgian College (9K full time enrollment; 28K part time students). Barrie is in Simcoe Country (population 422K). michinoku2001 - I am so glad to have a St. Mary's grad responding. I have heard a number of people familiar with that area echo your idea that St. Mary's Huskies stadium seating could not be expanded, but looking at the pictures I do not understand why. http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_pictures/north_america/canada/nova_scotia/halifax_huskies.shtml Strawberry Stadium at SE Lousiana was expanded very cost effectlively by builing a partking structure right next to the stadium and putting pressboxes at the top overhanging the stadium. It looks like part of the stadium, but was actually an inexpensive nearby addition. http://www.lionsports.net/stats/Photos/Facilities/Pressbox_Web/index.html Looking at the picture from wolrd stadiums, it looks like they have lugged out temp seating for the end zones and on the left side and probably have capacity at 11K or so. I can understand that the building on your right is probably your cheif bottleneck. Could you build parking garages on either side and for practical purposes build a more or less a base between the two that runs over the building where permanent metal bleachers seating maybe 5-7K or more could be seated? It would in essence create a permanent "second tier seating" that extends over that building. Is there any reason a second tier could not be built on the right? I eagerly await your responses. I have been dying to ask a St. Mary's fan this question. St. Mary's was one of the schools that I thought of when I said 30K may not be acheiveable. Still, when you look at what team have done with temporary seating ---frank clair adding 15K in each end zone of temporary seating (+30K total bringing seating to 57K!!) in the not so distant past, it seems that ANY stadium could likely be bumped to 30K+ for a game or two even if standard side seating is in the 20's. (In a university setting, end zone temp seating shouldn't harm the track --so lets stick to 30K total) Regarding parking, I think you build a parking garage for people who don't want to tailgate and you can address most of your parking issues in space limited places. I read the Rubber Bowl in Akron is due to be replaced with a new $55M stadium that will seast 25-30K. That was published in a newsletter this last winter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_Bowl

Am I spoiled?????????? It started last Christmas, when I got a camcorder. I got my dad a digital camera because I noticed that he wanted one and he went out and bought me a $900 camcorder. Next, in february I got my cell phone. My dad's cell phone plan was ending and there was a deal buy one get one free so my dad's asked me if I wanted one and I thought he was joking so I said sure. In 30 minutes, I had a brand new limited edition Motorola KRZR K1 red. I was happy cuz I wanted a cell phone since I was 10 (now I'm 14). So now he pays like $80 a month for the plan. Two weeks later, we were looking at printers (yes, my dad and I are really into electronics), and I realized that color laser printers print really well. I've had a color inkjet all my life and my dad has a black and white laser so I wanted to get it. I didn't tell my dad that I want it, but he was like, "o, look at the quality" "wow, its amazing". After a week and a half or so, my dad came home with a big box, and he's like, "look what I got for you" I opened it and I'm like "you're kidding" and he said he got it on sale cuz it costs like $290 WITHOUT ink (each toner aka cartridge costs $50 and there's 4 of them) and he got it for $290 WITH the ink included. So, we plugged it in and I got a new printer. In March, I wanted a Nintendo DS. And this is the thing I actually begged for for a month. When my dad's friend told him that his son bought himself one, my dad thought it might actually be a good gaming system. So by the end of March, I was once again happy with another toy. My confirmation came in May, and my dad spent $300-$400 for the party. There's a European tradition that children get gifts on June 1st. I got $500, because my dad thought I would need the money for my trip to Poland, so I wouldn't have to ask my grandparents for stuff. I wanted to give him back the money, but he told me that if I didn't want it i could throw it in the garbage. (Of course I didn't do that) When I went to Poland, my grandparents locked up the money and told me that they would give it back to me when I returned home to Canada, and I would give it back to my dad (how?) I then got $100 from my other grandparents, $50 from my aunt and uncle and $50 from my other aunt. (Birthday money) When I came back to Canada, after 2 months, I told my dad to take the money, but he didn't so I left it on the kitchen table, but he put it back in my room. He was thinking of getting me a laptop for my birthday, so I said that I only want a MacBook cuz I thought that he'd say that he can't afford it, and that he wouldn't buy it. my DS got busted in Poland, so we took it back to the store and said it doesn't work, and I got $200. So, I now had $900 in cash. My dad took me to Future Shop a few days before my birthday (August) and it turned out that the MacBooks were on sale, and came with a free package worth $250. We ended up getting a MacBook for me, with total cost of $1800 (with a $300 warranty included). So, I told my dad that he's getting the $900 cuz we're short on money. He FINALLY agreed. So, I payed for half my birthday present and I was really happy that my dad didn't have to pay the full price. Now, I feel really bad, cuz I asked for an iPhone for Christmas and we are REALLY short on money (actually, we always were but now we are even more), so I don't really want it anymore, because I already have a cell phone and and iPod. My dad got himself a GPS for Christmas, as if he knew he couldn't expect anything from anyone else. I had $60 saved up, so I got my dad a tie for Christmas and told him to choose whichever one he wanted. What should I do? I feel so bad that my dad gets me a bunch of stuff, when I can barely get him a tie. I wanted to get him a GPS last year, but decided on a digital camera because our old one was really bad. I know my dad loves me and I love him too, not for the stuff he gets me, but because he's my dad. He works really hard and he's the only one who works for us, because my mom died when I was like, 2 years old and I don't want my dad to get me anything anymore, cuz we need the money for other things. Am I spoiled, and what should I do?

Scam! Take a look at this!? Found a "deal" on Craigslist..it sounded to good to be true, but I had to email the guy about it anyway. I know this is a scam, I just want people to be aware of the newest scam going around on Craigslist and other trading sites. Here is what my email says: Thank you for your email. I still have it for sale but before i answer to your questions i`m afraid i have some "bad" news: i`m selling this because i am moving back home in Canada as i want to start a small business here with my family. I was born here, we lived in US for a while, tried a few things but didn`t worked out and decided to move back in Canada and try a small business here because after all there's no place like home. However, the point is that i am not in US right now and i can`t be there to make the transaction in person but this is not something to worry about because i will sell this with the help of The Online Outpost. They are the largest eBay selling service but it`s possible that you never heard of them if you don`t sell or buy often on the internet. Their website is www.theonlineoutpost.com if you want to check the service out, you will not find the listing there because only the items sold through ebay are listed on their website, the items sold through other marketplaces are not listed on their website. When i left in Canada, i left the item along with several other items in the The Online Outpost custody so i can sell them even though i am not there, so if you are OK with this, just drop me an email and i will explain the rest of the transaction details. I just hope you are serious and really interested in this because i want to sell it A.S.A.P. Thanks Roger They know that the Nigera scam is up, so they came up with this! This is so bad, he must think we are so stupid, he can't even keep his story stright! OMG LOL

Is it proffitable to buy a new home and resale in same yr in Canada Ontario? I have been watching all these shows like flip that house but was wondering if there was money to be made by buying new home from a builder and then putting it for sale as soon its ready? I would finish basement myself and add a few things. Im currently waiting for my new home to be ready and i have notice that my builder is asking more for the same home a few weeks after i choosed mine and he told me that by the time the site is done the price will be higher. So is it proffitable even if its just 10k proffit aprrox or will i get tax too much to make it not worth it?

Are house final sale prices in Canada public or private information? I was recently having a conversation with someone who purchased a home and I asked what they paid.

Can sale of alcohol be refused to someone from a juridistriction with a higher legal age? In Quebec the legal age is 18, in the Rest of Canada it is 19. In the United States it is 21. So, if you were to buy alcohol in an jurisdiction with a lower legal age then one you reside in. Can the cashier refuse sale because when you go home (according to your government ID) you will be breaking the law.

Canada house sale & closing? I sold my house about 4 months ago. I just received a letter from the lawyer who handled the closing, stating that there was a water bill outstanding. I paid them to handle these affairs. I was under the impression that everything had been taken care of. The new owners claim to have paid the bill. The copies I received were dated Oct-Nov 2008 & Nov-Dec 2008. I have not occupied the home since August 2008. I called & left a message with the lawyer. Can anyone provide some feedback to this? Thanks That's what paying the lawyers for closing is all about. They are supposed to take care of all the closing issues such as removing me from any further liability concerning the house.

I bought a used car in OH to register in NY. Can I drive it to Canada with temp tags? Bought a used car in Cleveland, OH and drove it back to my home state of NY where it will be registered once I have the actual title. I have temp tags (30 days) from the dealer, insurance, the bill of sale, and proof of registration transfer. I'll only have the title in a week or so but I'm leaving to Montreal tomorrow. Will I have trouble driving it across the border?

How Effective is Unaddressed Admail? I'm starting up a business proving in-home computer servicing. I want to use "Unaddressed Admail", i.e. flyers, delivered through Canada Post. It's not cheap but not outrageously expensive (10.8 cents per home unit ) The sales agent at Canada Post says the response varies depending on the type of business (naturally) She gave some examples that ranged from 1% to 7%. The best match as a driveway snowplowing business which got 4%. Can anyone tell me there experience?

I'm a Canadian buying and exporting a used car through a private sale in CA. Do I have to pay CA sales tax? I will be flying down to make the purchase, and will be driving the car back home. Does the California title need to be transferred at a California DMV? or can I transfer the title when I get home to Canada? some notes: shipping the car through an insured carrier is not an option since it would cost way more than any potential tax savings. One person at the board of equalization told me it's ok to drive it out, but the legal documents seem to imply otherwise. I've spoken to individuals who did the title transfer once they got the car home and therefore didn't pay any CA sales tax, but that was several years ago, so I don't know if that's still a viable option. If anybody has some firm knowledge or recent experience in this area I would really appreciate it.

Im a divorced guy, and earned about $15,000 in Quebec, Canada last year. What tax exemptions exist for me ? What are the criterias for reducing income tax ? What is a tax write-off ? Is my estimation that on $ 15,000. of declared income in Canada, I would have to pay around $ 2000 income tax ? I don't own a home yet, and live mostly in my truck when the weather is warm enough to save on rent and attempt to save toward a cabin.. Is there a way to be creative with one's taxes ? Besides personal criteria for tax exemption, how much can I donate to charity or to an individual doing charitable work ? Can I write off any percentage of what I would pay in income tax toward my 20 yr old son's college or univeristy education ? I am almost constantly driving and traveling when I do sales work.. Are there bills or receipts I am supposed to keep during the year that are helpful toward tax exemptions ? My commercial art business is not yet officially registered. To qualiify for tax exemption, is there an advantage to having your business registered or is it ta disadvantage ?

Which job do I take? In Canada or Abu Dhabi? A friend of mine is being offered a job either in Canada as receptionist or in Abu Dhabi as Customer Sales Representative.

Forced to use their real estate agent? We are considering buying a new freehold in Ontario Canada. We have an existing home we wish to sell through our own real estate broker. The new home builder is setting a provision where they will NOT sell to us, unless we use their sales agent to sell our existing home. This is a big problem and a huge conflict of interest. Is this legal? Can we do anything?

WHY IS A QUICK SALE MORE IMPORTANT THAN A GOOD HOME? Well we ere interested in buying a dog and came across one on epupz.co.uk [by accident] we contacted the seller and told her about us and that we wanted to work the dog and she sounded pleased. So we arranged a date to visit the dog, the night before she emailed and said she had to go to Newcastle for a week. I thought something did not sound right and got a friend to respond to the advert and this is what she said [ sound like someone who should not own any dog] “hi, is your dog still available? I saw the breed in a film and they are sooo cute. What color eyes does he have and can you sell to us?” She replied with “Yes we can sell to you, can you come tonight?” This was at the same time as she was saying it was important to her she found him a good home with someone who knows the breed, yet she was lying. Today I got that same friend to email again and she said the dog has been sold. I emailed her and she outright lied to me, pretending to me her husband (but she was talking to the friend on her other email) and she told me her grandfather died and the dog had moved to Canada with her brother. Why do people who are giving their dogs up not care about what home they go to? Why is a quick sale more important? +++++++++++++++ I know I know what else can you expect from someone selling online FYI the dog was a 15 month old border collie

I was just wondering if the sales are any good especially at stores like Coach, Nine West and Bebe at the Fashion Outlets mall which is like 1.5 hours away from my home.

Is it a good time to begin building new luxury homes in South Florida yet? Homes are getting a bit tougher to sell here in Canada now, seems like people are getting a bit picky in their purchases so sales are slowing due to unrealistic demands from builders on price consessions. So I'm seeking to go and build in other areas. With the weather about to turn colder with the coming of winter, I am looking to the warmer climates of the South, particularly the booming retirement communities like Cape Coral or Port Charlotte as retirees alway love Florida and I think that these areas could be a great boom to my business. But I don't know what the current housing conditions are like down there right now so I'm asking those who know: What is the housing market like in the Cape Coral / Port Charlotte areas (or other areas of South Florida). I only have information from about 3 years ago (sales brochures) and from them I am just itching to rush down there and start developing! It looks like a Gold Rush of wealth in that area. Are things still supper-hot in these communities? I heard from one fellow that things have begun to slow down a bit, that the sales market is still healthy and growing but that it takes a bit more effort and he expects sales to be back to record highs in just a few months. If sales have slowed, then how many weeks do you think it will be before they are back to full throttle? Will it be before Christmas? I have to line up a lot of credit for land purchases. How are the lenders down there with providing credit to builders? Things are getting a bit tighter here in Canada and I don't see why I'm being squeezed so much, so I want to go to U.S. lenders instead. I remember talking to a finance expert 3 year ago in Cape Coral and from what he told me, even a pet dog could get a $2 million line of credit.

Why does everyone think that Canada will follow America into a RECESSION ?? Everything's booming here; no way? I keep hearing the opinions from others that our real estate prices will crash, our car sales will crash, and that we will face unemployment. Well so far (as of Nov 2008), we have lots of jobs and cannot find enough good people to hire, our housing market is BOOMING with houses on the market for only a few days and multiple bidding wars still going on, and our industrial warehousing space construction just cannot keep up with demand. For proof of this, check out this article that explains the building boom here in Canada: http://www.reportonbusiness.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081103.wpropertyreport1104/BNStory/Business/home My view is that our Canadian economy is RED HOT and that homes should continue to appreciate by 30% to 50% per year for another 20 years, so why is everyone forecasting such doom?? It really is getting to be kind of depressing !

About the prices for scallops in North America.? We live have homes in both the Boston and Montreal. Two questions about scallops: (1) Why are the regular prices in Quebec about 70% higher than they are in New England? Does Canada have price controls on some seafood as it does on dairy and chicken? When we go south we always have several orders from friends and extended family to pick up scallops (and milk and chicken!). (2) Why are scallop prices higher for the larger ones? Last week in New England we paid $US 3.99/lb for the small bay scallops, $US 5.99/lb for large sea scallops and $US 9.99/lb for jumbos (all promotional sale prices but regular prices are of similar ratio) and here in Montréal at Loblaws and Métro stores today they are sold for (regular prices) $ 8.99, $ 14.99 and $ 17.99, respectively. Would there not be greater cost for labour and shucking processing for the small ones versus the larger ones? Dear countrycollector in Maine: I would email this to you but your Yahoo Answers does not accept email. Hope you get this. In fact, something about your soaring lobster prices (in New England) is total bs!! I know that the story there (I have read the press) is that lobster prices doubled recntly because we Canadians are shipping so many to Europe. But up here there is a glut, because (according to OUR press) so many Maritimes' lobster processing workers have left their jobs and gone to oil-boom Alberta, and the Canadian government has stalled in getting visas to Russians and Ukranians contracted to do this work, lobsters have piled up. Now they are cheaper here than they are for you -- on sale in supermarkets practically every week (this week 500 grammers - about a pound, cooked or live, at $CDN 5.49 - about $US 5.00 - each at our Provigo chain). You are being lied to! (pass this info to your local press if you wish). By the way... (to be continued) (continued for countrycollector): By the way, Maine is NOT the world lobster capital. 70% of all the Northwestern Atlantic harvest (of homaris americanus, or however the species name is spelt) is Canadian caught. And we manage it better, with a limited season in which productivity per trap is equal to Maine's where the lobster fishery is year round. Even 70% of Maine-caught is sent here for processing (source for both statements: recent articles in "Boston Globe"). Yours truly, Lisa FURTHER TO COUNTRYCOLLECTOR (and all lobster lovers); By coincidence, I just went (since my last Add Details) to my local branch of the store chain featuring lobsters this week and it has today a Manager's Special of an additional $ 1.50 (actually $ 1.51) off, so me and my spouse and my daughter are going to feast on lobster tonight, at prices not seen here in about 10 years! (and we will open a bottle of fantastic B.C. Okanagan Valley V.Q.A. pinot gris to boot!) Oh, for all you lobster lovers who are ready to fly into Montréal before the store closes today: the chain is Provigo, and the store location is the one in Ville Émard. Bon appetît.

Where can I find serious business builders that are looking for a home based health and wellness business? I’m looking to expand my home based health and wellness business sharing proprietary products that are formulated in Switzerland, made in the US and target 6 key consumer markets. There are over 350 consumable products giving one a nice residual check rather then 1 time sales. Some of our top earners are making six figures and earning time and financial freedom. It's a secure and stable company (been in business 27 years), debt free, no territories to limit growth, no inventory, no sales requirements, unlimited income potential, free online training, online support, committed leadership, Mercedes Benz car program, with the most generous compensation plan in the industry. The company is booming with an average of 111% growth every year since 2002. I'm looking for serious business builders that like networking, group and/or 1-on-1 presentations, and sharing an opportunity. Is anyone in the US or Canada interested or know where I can find these business builders?

Can I move to USA/Canada from UK - and alternate countries legally? Hi. Is it possible as a British Citizen to buy a property (cash sale) in the USA but stay for just 6 months - then leave for Canada (stay for 6 months) - return back to USA? etc etc. And do this forever? Naturally I would LOVE to stay in either country and not keep leaving, but I don't think I can without a workers permit. I don't have a full Degree either, only a University Diploma. I have $900,000 cash - cannot work as I'm severely disabled with a chronic immune disease so cannot get into America/Canada with employment immigration, annnoyingly. However, because my illness is neurological, I would pass a medical. (I can stand up long enough for the test, normal BP etc). I would not depend on state welfare and have private medical insurance. The UK refuses to give me access to drugs (Immune drugs) to improve my symptoms to enable me to work from home, find a girlfriend, start a family, life etc. I have been ill for 20 years since a teenager. It's America or bust...Xx
